Fishing in Zanzibar

Zanzibar is one of the best fishing destinations for combining relaxation and hard drills. In the last few years, large schools of yellowfin have returned to the island and fishing on the reefs is recovering. If you put in the work you can get nice GTs and snappers. Jigging is very promising in Sansibar, but you need heavy jigs to reach the desired depths. Once there you can catch nice Groupers and snappers.
