• July, August and September is one of the most fun parts of the season with good mixed bags of black marlin, sailfish, wahoo, kingfish, giant trevally and yellowfin tuna being readily available within 5 miles of base.
• October, November and December is mainly sailfish season, when we run fast up to Malindi, approximately 12 miles before we start fishing.
• January, February and March are main marlin months with black, blue and striped marlin on the Rips also good numbers of Sailfish at this time.
• February and March is also a good time for broadbill swordfish making the chance of a fantasy slam a real possibility.

Fishing Safaris - When requested Pete can run fishing safaris from Watamu, either to Lamu on the north coast or Shimoni on the south.

Lamu is an old Arab town steeped in history that is situated on the south end of a archipelago of islands. Further north is the Robinson Crusoe style islands of Kiwayu and Koi. Lamu is a days fishing north of Watamu and has a number of exiting reasons to try one of these once in a life time trips, the in shore fishing up in these sparsely populated area's can be very rewarding with the chance to fish for bone fish (as seen on the left), mangrove snappers, trevally, barracuda and if your really lucky an African tarpon or pompano. Further out the sailfish fishing can be quite extraordinary in the early part of the season while later at the peak of the marlin season, this is the area that many of the big fish fishermen like to hunt for that chance of a thousand pound  blue or black marlin.

Shimoni a day fishing south, on its day an amazing area for striped marlin, there have been days with over ten striped marlin tagged on a boat and in the deep water between Pemba island and the main land there is always the chance of a blue or black marlin.
