John & Ken Rodwell have been fishing these waters for many years successfully and have been very well recommended by our clients. The Kenya coastline has the finest fishing in Africa, as the many All-Africa Sporting Game Fish records set here by a wide variety of catches testify. September and October are the months for good catches of Tuna and Wahoo, whilst December to March is recognised as the best season for sailfish and marlin although billfish are caught throughout the year. You can hire boats, which are fully licenced, insured and equipped either for four or six hours of fishing. If you catch fish Mr. Rodwell would not mind giving it to you.
