Fishing with Sea Ace Adverntures
tigerfishing sites along this stretch of the Zambezi .
Most of our fishing in this region is carried out by boats . Trawling with Rapalas , casting with spoons or spinners or drift fishing with bait is how we tempt the tigerfish .
Camping
Spinning in front of the lodges at night , under the lights from the banks , also works very well .
We setup camp besides the river in hard to get areas . This provides us the opportunity to fish areas that are some considerable distance from any of the lodges . All camping facilities are provided for even though we are usually quite far from anywhere . Houseboats .
Spoons and spinners see the most Nembwe whilst bait fishing with worms catches the other bream species . Night fishing from the banks is the best way to catch the catfish and these can grow very large .

New to our itinerary is a Houseboat Safari . A houseboat is provided for the trip down river and has comfortable sleeping quarters and cooking facilities . We take along our own fishing boats and during the day , we go fish whilst the houseboat proceeds on to the next overnight spot ; usually a sandbar . This type of trip offers some stunning fishing areas and there is no rush to get back to the lodges every night . This trip can also be extended onto the Chobe river for a wildlife tour with
