Surf Fishing
The Linene area is best known for its consistently good catches of large game fish from the beach. This is due to the close proximity of deep water to the surf line, and the strong currents coming in and out of the multiple estuary mouths. These currents carry a great deal of food and create favourable conditions for game fish within easy casting distance of the beach.
Great success is had from our beaches with light spinning tackle, salt water fly fishing, heavy spinning and bait/live bait fishing. Night fishing from the beaches with bait or live bait also produces some big GT’s and monster sharks.
Species that can be expected to be caught from the beach at Linene include: Giant kingfish, King mackerel, Queen mackerel,Yellowspotted kingfish, Bludger, Blacktip kingfish, Bluefin kingfish, Bigeye kingfish, Queenfish, Springer, Bonefish, Stumpnose, Sotted Grunter, Cock Grunter, Largespot Pomapano, Longfin Pompano, Blacktip shark, Giant Guitarfish, Bowmouth guitarfish, Zambezi Shark, Honeycomb ray etc
Concentrations of Kingfish are higher during summer, when spawning takes place. Large adults are solitary, smaller fish are often seen in groups, in the waves and estuary surrounding the resort.
The Lighthouse reef:
The lighthouse reef is a good low tide fishing spot. Plugs and spoons can be thrown off the reef itself at low tide, as well as over patches of reef to the South. This area is home to many big king fish, which will test your skills and tackle to their utmost. The deep channel directly in front of the reef is also a great spot for light tackle lure fishing or fly-fishing. This channel is roamed by various species of kingfish, spotted pompano, queenfish, bonefish, threadfin and a couple of snapper species. Access to the lighthouse involves being dropped off by boat up the estuary at Pescada's dive camp and walking 7km down the beach. This walk is not for the faint hearted! Plan this as a day trip and arrange a packed lunch the night before with lodge management
