FISHING
Paindane is a paradise for all deep sea anglers with unrivaled catches of gamefish and billfish with the ideal fishing area only 300 meters from the launch. Pinnacles with shoals of monster kings, Cuta, Tuna and all the other Pelagic species are waiting for you.
ROCK AND SURF
DIVING AND SNORKELING
The Paindane Reef offers the best diving and snorkeling sites in Mozambique....
With many world renowned reefs within easy striking distance, Paindane rates as one of the best dive spots on the African East Coast. Manta reef is unique and has been rated as the best worldwide, with excellent visibility and virtually hundreds of mantas that have made this reef their home.
The coral garden lies inside the Paindane reef in 2 - 3 meters of water, and is rated by Mike Slater (Guide to Mozambique) as one of the very best snorkeling spots of the African East Coast. On a good day, visibility extends to as much as forty meters, with thousands of tropical species to be viewed by the entire family.
Jetski, Hobbycat, Paddleski and boardsailing enthusiasts enjoy the safe launch at Paindane and the fact that you sail directly into the backline and deep waters of the Mozambique Channel, without any surf to contend with.
For those who are not into water activities, long walks along the pristine sun bleached beaches, shell hunting, swimming in the warm tropical waters, tanning in the basking sun, or sipping an ice cold beer in the beach bar can all be enjoyed.

PAINDANE FISHING AND GAME FISHING CHARTERS
The resort has two fishing boats with all equipment available.
A word from the skipper
"It is my intention to give you a value for money fishing experience. We wil target all the game fish species (King Mackerel, Greater Barracuda, Tuna Kingfish). It is not uncommon when targeting these fish that a Sailfish could be hooked, which is an amazing experience in itself and to witness a Sailie in full flight will reward you forever."
Cost per day:
R3 500-00 for plus minus 5 hours.
Up to 4 anglers per charter.
All fishing equipment supplied.
| GENERAL INFORMATION |
|
| Indemnity: |
All anglers must sign an indemnity form before launching. |
| Launch times: |
As advised by the skipper of the boat. |
| Launch procedure: |
All crew to board the boat before launching commences, and life jackets must be worn. |
| Beaching procedure: |
Once the craft has beached and the boat has been loaded on the trailer, and parked at the beach bar, only once this is done, you may remove your personal belongings and fish. |
| Equipment: | All provided for by the Skipper, any equipment or tackle lost will be charged to the angler. |
| Bait: |
It is not always possible to get sardines in Mozambique, therefore prevailing bait such as Karapou, Kanakawa, ect. will be used to supplement sardines, when they are not available. |
| Weather: |
Ski-boat fishing is dependant on good weather. Should inclement conditions occur after launching and in the skippers judgement it is not safe to stay at sea, the skipper will beach, and the charter will then be completed. Factors that will be taken into consideration are:
|
| Anglers obligations: |
It is the responsibility of the angler to ensure that they are in a fit condition to spend up to 5 hours at sea. Please note that excessive alcohol consuption the previous night, will render you and spoil the day for fellow anglers. |
| Beverages on the boat: |
Please provide your own snacks and drinks for the day's fishing. Alcohol spirits will not be allowed on board. Maximum 2 cans of beer per angler - it is not a booze-cruise. |
| Tag & release policy: |
I realize that it is an anglers dream to boat a Sailfish or Marlin. But due to the fragile stock of these beautiful fish it is my policy to tag and release any Sailfish which is estimated to weight less than 25 kilograms (Marlin - 50 kg). The angler will be able to photo-estimate it's length in the water and then release it. With a photo and an estimated length and weight a model can be made. |
| The rules out at sea: |
|
| Cost per charter: |
R3 500.00 per trip for more or less 5 hours. |
