Fishing

The Kenyan coast offers a wide and diverse range of fishing from the common inshore game fish such as King Mackerel, Barracuda, Rainbow Runner, Bonito and several species of Trevally, to the offshore game fish such as Yellowfin Tuna, Amberjack, Wahoo and Dorado.
Fishing at the Kenyan Coast
Of course, there are other inland fishing spots at the Kenyan coast but the biggest and most challenging fishing happens just off the shore of the Indian Ocean. Beautiful hotels and resorts such as the ‘Voyagers Beach Resort’, ‘Hemingway’s Watamu’ and ‘Baobab Beach Resort & Spa’ offer excellent fishing opportunities right off the beach or a little further out for those who are interested in game fishing for the likes Sailfish and Marlin.
 Fishing in the Pemba Channel
It is said that the ‘Pemba Channel’ is THE best fishing spot in Kenya (if you want to catch Marlin). The most popular fishing boats with experienced Captains make berth in Shimoni Island, some 80 km south of Mombasa. The location is an all-year-round fishing safari destination where professional anglers and even complete novices can go to do some game fishing. From Short-bill spearfish to Stripped Marlins, Broadbill Swordfish and even an assortment of sharks, you can catch them all on the Kenyan side Pemba Channel.
The lakes of Mt. Kenya
We know it might sound a little strange when you tell your friends that you are heading up a mountain to do some fishing. They might very well think that you are trying to be coy with some double entendres that aren’t quite working but believe it or not, Mt. Kenya does have some of the best spots for trout fishing in the country. You will find plenty of rainbow trout at Lake Rutundu (3,100 meters) and at Lake Alice (3,550 meters).
Lake Turkana
Yes, you will create yet another conundrum in the minds of your friends when you say you are headed out to the desert to do some fishing. Kenya’s iconic desert lake (Lake Turkana) is by far one of the most dramatic fishing spots on this list.
