Broadbill swordfish
The first broadbill ever taken on fly was taken off the Kenya coast and since then 2 more have been landed. The chances of a world record are very real. Large numbers of relatively small broadbill abound in the Pemba Channel making this an ideal destination for attempting the ultimate challenge of a broadbill on fly.
-
Striped marlin
Shimoni is the #1 destination in Africa to catch striped marlin and skippers Pat & Simon Hemphill have landed more than any other skipper in recent years.
-
Stripies occur over the same months as the sailfish above with an average size of 55 Kg and with individual specimens of over 100 Kg.
-
Sailfish
Abundant during December, January, February and March and with an average size of between 25 and 30 Kg they offer fantastic sport on fly.
