Fishing
If you are going to be in Riviere
Noire, Flic en Flac or Le Morne
our recommendation goes without hesitation to
ZAZOU
Mauritius is a real deep-sea fishing paradise. You
would be able to try your luck with blue & black marlins, sharks,
yellow-fin tunas, skipjack tunas, sailfish, wahoos, barracudas among others.
These predators feed close to the island where the sea bottom falls up to
4000 metres
Mauritius boasts such a reputation that every year a
world class competition, the Marlin World Cup,
is organised, with
anglers coming from all parts of the globe.
The island holds several world records in fishing (IGFA):
- A mako shark of 1115 lbs
- A blue shark of 400 lbs caught in February 1966
- A ship-jack tuna of 41.5 lbs
|
...and among the African records (GFUA):
- A yellow fin tuna of 212 lbs
- A dog toothed tuna of 224 lbs
- A wahoo of 125 lbs
|
Among other specimens caught more recently are blue
marlins of 1430 lbs and 1355 lbs
Zazou actually organises deep-sea fishing trips every
day.
The modern deep-sea fishing boats, well equipped and designed for fishing
competition, will whisk you,
at full speed, past the coral reefs to the deep blue waters 20 km from
shore.
