Why choose The Guides Company for Tarpon fishing in Gabon?
- After years of exploration through these remote and exquisite locations, we have consistently landed large tarpon ranging from 40 to 280lbs on the fly.
- We are a specialized guiding outfit boasting the most experienced guides in the entire West African region.
- Our guides specialize in targeting Tarpon on fly as they are truly a magnificent fish to target on fly.
- The fishing is done from 21-foot Pro V Orca flats skiffs, equipped with 140hp Suzuki four stroke outboard engines and one guide for every two clients.
- Whilst the trip will predominantly focus on Tarpon, these waters however, also host a large number of other challenging and dynamic species.
The Fishing
The sheer number of fish that frequent these waters is unsurpassed. Most weeks we land and hook several fish over 200lbs and sight cast to laid up fish that are 7 plus feet long.
Jack Crevalle and Long Fin Jacks are both targeted with floating line with poppers and streamers. Giant African Threadfin are targeted with 500 grain sinking lines with closures and baitfish patterns. For Cubera and Red Snapper, we use floating intermediate and sinking lines with deceiver style patterns.
