Fishing in Senegal

Senegal offers fantastic fishing for enthusiasts as well as holidaymakers with a casual interest, from the Nile Perch in the Senegal River to the abundance of Sailfish and Marlin in its offshore waters.   Deep sea fishing can be arranged in Saly whilst more relaxing trips can be arranged in the creeks, rivers and mangroves of the Sine Saloum Delta.  Most hotels organise such trips either in small pirogues or motorised boats.

In Senegal's offshore waters you can target a variety of fish from May  to November: Sailfish, Dorado and Yellow Fin Tuna are abundant between May and June and from September to November huge Blue Marlin stalk the Senegalese coast; fish of 800lb plus are certainly not unusual with fish well over the 1000lb mark being caught every year. Inshore trolling, Jigging and Bait fishing really comes into their own from November to June. Senegal has a much more established and better organised sport fishing set up than neighbouring Gambia, because of its easy access to deep water, boats tend to be larger, of a higher quality and are normally twin engined for security.  

You can book a day's fishing through our representatives in Senegal, but if you are looking for a complete fishing package there are many things to consider: tides, location and seasons will play a huge part, therefore we recommend you contact the specialists World Sport Fishing.
