Fishing Gabon

Nowhere else in western Africa is the coastal environment as unspoiled as it is in Gabon. Along the southern coast the scenic mosaic of lagoons, sandy beaches and gallery forest together with the fisheries and wildlife, are in an almost pristine state. Fishing pressure is limited to local subsistence fishing and only two tourist operations, making this one of the least fished spots in the world. Fishing from the shore is equally fantastic as fishing from the boats in the lagoon, all kind of techniques provide excellent results!
