THE BEST Hosted Fishing Destinations

Every year our hosted trips become increasingly popular and sell out very quickly. This is due to them being cheaper than travelling as a single angler, the expert advice, the experience of our hosts, and the exclusive destinations we have. Below we have listed our favourite hosted trips, in no particular order.

Crocodile Bay fishing resort – Costa Rica 

Every year our customers achieve unbelievable results on this hosted big game fishing trip.  Many personal best Marlin and near-record sized Roosters have been caught by anglers who have joined us on this fishing holiday. 

The fishing on offer at Crocodile Bay is very varied and appeals to many different fishing types from fly fishermen to lure anglers. Offshore fishing offers many different options too, including trolling big Marlin lures and rigged baits for the Billfish. Whilst fishing offshore you will come across huge shoals of Tuna and Dorado which can be caught either with lures or by fly fishing and the standard trolling.

Mefjord – Norway

The fishing around in Mefjord benefits from a huge run of Skrei Cod during the early season. The Skrei Cod then give way to huge shoals of Coalfish that push in the fjords searching out bait shoals to feed on.

As the season progresses the Halibut then start to wake up and this is a perfectly located camp to take advantage of the grounds that Halibut look for. Other smaller species can be found in this area and well worth targeting including fish such as the Scorpionfish, Plaice, Dabs, and the lesser-caught Tadpole fish. Sea fishing in Mefjord really does offer lots of potentials to tick many species off your lists.

Palmas De Cortez – Mexico

Our Palmas De Cortez Mexico destination is one of the hottest big game fishing destinations around the world. For over 10 years we have been running hosted trips to this destination and each year it just gets bigger. The offshore species will include Marlin, Sailfish, Tuna, and Dorados. These can all be targeted on the same day which is a major pull for the sea of Cortez.

The inshore fishing at Palma De Cortez is excellent. You can expect to catch Roosters, Jacks, and Snappers. Occasionally the Dorado come in very close to feed on the huge inshore bait balls. Along with all of the above, if you decide to fish the many reefs you will also catch many different types of Snappers plus the very hard fighting Amber Jacks which grow to a very good size.

A – Norway

This trip will be hosted by one of our guides and he will be with you every step of the way helping you to get the most out of your sea fishing holiday. They will be driving the boat, leaving you free to look at the stunning scenery. On the day you arrive, our host will sit with you and go through all the tackle, showing you how to tie knots, how to set up rigs, and more importantly, what to do when you catch that fish of a lifetime.

The waters around these Islands are very rich in nutrients meaning they are very rich in fish stocks.

Secure Lodge – Bolivia

Fishing each day is based on two anglers per motorized dugout with an Argentine fly fishing guide as well as one or two native boatmen. Each day you rotate between the sections of the river. There are three main areas called upper, middle, and lower. Each offers different styles of fishing. Along with this, there is the 2-day camping section on the upper Secure and also excursions up the two main creeks subject to water level.

Secure Lodge is located in an Indigenous Territory and a National Park where the Golden Dorado catch and release fly fishing activity is solely allowed. The landscape is incredibly wild and remote. The rivers where we fish are the headwaters of some Amazon tributaries, and its gin-clear currents run through jungle and mountains. This is one of the most pristine environments of the world to combine the stunning wildlife and amazing fishing this will be a holiday you talk about for a very long time.

Baboon Point – Mozambique

For many years now, Sportquest Holidays has been leading the way regarding new destinations, and this destination in Mozambique is going to set the shore fishing market alight. For many years, we have been searching for such a destination that offers anglers the chance to do battle with colossal GT’s without the need to be on a boat, and we would like to introduce you to Baboon Point Lodge in Mozambique.

In such areas as Bazaruto Archipelago, Incha, Nacala and the Quirimbas Islands, offshore fishing is second to none with a massive run of big Black Marlin. The run of Black Marlin is the main draw for so many anglers and not to mention the super hot fishing from the shoreline for such species as the huge GT’s, Pompano, Barracuda, tons of Skate and Rays. A little less known species for this area is the Bonefish, and they get big.

The Tented Camp is around 160km from Vilankulo Airport, and with 100km of the drive being on the main road and the last 60km being off-road, it is a true adventure just getting to the camp. The use of some 4X4 vehicles to drive through the African bush truly adds to a great experience.
