Hello all,

My wife and I are off to the Gambia 31st Jan for 2 weeks staying at kololi (holiday beach club). While the lady is sunbathing at the pool Im gonna be beach casting at sanyang & Tanji during the day. Any one else out there during this period? Would be good to share 4x4 costs etc.

Have a good trip - I got back mid December. Look forward to hearing how you got on. They say the beach just outside your hotel can be productive, especially in evening. Captain Fish being caught there when I was there last month. If you get the chance do the Roots trip - great day out to see the real Gambia.

I just hope its gonna be as good as in previous years.... Ive had some lovely Guitarfish to 25lb, Lady fish best 14lb and stingray not sure how heavy but me and a friend over 3 days had 12 whoppers all ripping line from the multipliers (never use your thumb to try and slow them down whilst they run it BURNS), I guess they had to be in region of a least 40lb each... some fish to try and lift.

Fingers crossed

Got back 2nd Jan, caught 36 pound Guitar, ladyfish, butterfish, grouper, catfish and others i dont know there names.

Fished to the right of kotu point. (Call in at the Kotu Point Beach Bar, ask for Morgan, he is a great lad. If you see him give him my regards. If you need prawns and bonga fish for bait, he will get them for you).

Loved the whole Gambian experience, will return again soon.
I used Tom and Assan as guides as recommended by stonefish. We had agreat day's fishing.
I caught more from shore than of the boat.

Hope you have a good time.

Regards

Glen.

Sounding quite promising is it rough ground near kotu point? and where exactly is it? I stayed at Kombo Beach Hotel many years ago so I know this area. Ive only ever fished Tanji, Sanyang & denton bridge.

If you are sat facing out to sea from Kotu Beach Bar.Go left down the beach about 50m. It is sand there.
If you ask Morgan in the bar, he will tell you where i fished. Just ask him where did Glen fish.

If you don't go far enough down the beach, you will get snagged by the rocky reef.
