Guinea Bissau group nov 26

New

Exclusive group trip for only 4 participants and an experienced tourleader (Lars Nieuwenhoff) from Worldsbestfishingtrips to fish in the Bijagós archipelago. 

If you want to experience tropical sea fishing at its best, without the extreme price tag, the Bijagós archipelago in Guinea-Bissau is a world-class destination. This unique archipelago offers an unprecedented diversity of species, from smaller predators to impressive large fish, which can be fished using virtually every conceivable technique. All this in a beautiful, comfortable, and authentic environment.

The experienced crew knows the area inside out and literally knows where the fish are at any time of the day, at any tide and at any spot. This makes fishing in the Bijagós not only exciting, but also extremely effective.

• Tips

• Giant barracuda – the rocket of the Atlantic Ocean. Lightning fast, aggressive and equipped with razor-sharp teeth. Guaranteed explosive bites.
• Jack crevalle – true gladiators that never give up and fight to the bitter end.
• Horse-eye jack – a wrecker that severely tests both the endurance of the angler and the equipment.
• Pompano jack – compact, strong, and notorious for its brute strength.
• Leerfish – the queen of surface hunting. Spectacular, aggressive, and fighting to the last meter.
• Red snapper – powerful bottom dwellers that mercilessly attack jigs and bait and then give their all in short, fierce drills.
• Cobia – curious, massive, and tireless. Known for its endless runs and impressive strength.
• Otolite – noble and exceptionally strong. A fish that combines power and endurance in long, technical fights.
• Rays – their enormous weight makes every drill a heavy and spectacular test of strength.
• Bull shark – massive and dominant, capable of literally pushing fishermen to their limits.
• Hammerhead shark – impressive silhouette, powerful jumps, and pure adrenaline.

• Casting: The explosion on the surface when a jack or barracuda strikes is forever etched in the memory. Every cast can be a hit.
• Jigging (classic & light jigging)
• Classic jigging produces brutal bites from red snappers, cobia, and otolites, among others.
• Light jigging combines light tackle with surprisingly large fish, resulting in intense and memorable fights.
• Fishing with natural bait: Ideal in estuaries and lagoons. Versatile, relaxing, and often very productive.
• Fishing with live bait: Simple, effective, and incredibly exciting. Large bait attracts large fish: jacks, barracudas, cobia, otoliths, and sharks.
• Trolling: Perfect for locating large predators. Every bite can yield a monster.
• Surfcasting: From deserted beaches on the Atlantic Ocean. From snapper to bull shark: every cast is a surprise.
• Fly fishing: Technical and challenging. When a horse-eye jack or barracuda takes the fly on the flats, the experience is unparalleled.
• In the Bijagós, every fish is a legend.

• The strength of the Bijagós lies in the enormous variety of fishing spots:
• River mouths and mangroves – natural nurseries full of barracudas, jacks, cobias, and otoliths.
• Rocky reefs (“patates”) – classic hotspots where predatory fish concentrate.
• Bays and lagoons – shallow and clear water, perfect for surface fishing and fly fishing.
• Narrow passages – strong currents, lots of action, and the chance to catch big fish such as cobia, leerfish, and sharks.
• Drop-offs and rocky plateaus – ideal for jigging and bottom fishing for heavy opponents.
• Wrecks – limited but highly productive spots for jacks, snappers, and cobia.
• Beaches and sandbanks – perfect for surfcasting with surprisingly large catches.
