CREEK FISHING
 
Light tackle sport fishing in the calm waters of
Gambia's saltwater
creeks & bolongs


All year-round

           
The Gambia's estuary is fringed on its banks by dense mangrove swamps  interconnected by a maze of saltwater  creeks & bolongs.

These beautiful, wild water-ways make a perfect habitat for a range of tropical fish and is an ideal environment for the light tackle angler.  Sheltered from the Atlantic Ocean, the bolongs' winding water-ways are always calm and appealing to the boat anglers who don't like the rough waters & enjoy catching a wide range of fish species. 

Angling methods include: both bait and lure fishing.

Butterfish caught in the creeks

Target Species include:
Barracuda, Threadfin Salmon, Snappers, Ladyfish, Butterfish, Angel Fish, Cassava plus many localised species.
  


This is an enjoyable day's fishing which appeals to all age groups, novice or expert & families alike, as it often provides plenty of fish of many different species.  It is also very popular with the specimen hunter and our fresh water anglers.
