MANTIS SHRIMP PHENOMENON & GAMEFISH FEEDING FRENZY

EAST AFRICAN COAST - MANTIS SHRIMP PHENOMENON


Spring is just around the corner and the game fishing along the Tanzanian and Mozambecan north cost is about to "spring" to life as the change from southerly winds to northerly winds swing to help flatten the sea conditions and improve the fishing conditions.

Each year in August / September through to December is Mantis Shrimp season along the East African Coast from Pemba to just South of Dar Es Salaam. Billions of these little crustaceans rise to the surface to mate every year. This abundance of an easy nutritious meal attracts schools of baitfish that attract Giant Yellowfin Tuna from as little 20 Kg's up to as much as a 100 Kg, Giant size Dogtooth Tuna of up to 75Kg's, GT's of up to 50 Kg's, Wahoo of up to 40 Kg's and Barracuda of up to 38 Kg's together with schools of a wide variety of other Game Fish and reef fish; too many to mention.

These feeding frenzied gamefish are being caught off the surface and down at 20 m's on trolling lipped lures or on casting flies, spoons or plugs while drifting. You almost can't miss!!! The best way to get to this frenzy is by yacht so that you can live right over the best fishing area and fish to your hearts content.
