Sette Cama, Gabon Fishing Report 1st October 2024

Sette Cama is often known for its Tarpon, Snapper, Threadfin, and Kob fishing from the shore, but it’s also a great place for Bull Shark fishing. This area is renowned for big Bull Sharks, offering anglers a serious challenge and a chance to test their strength. Fishing for these sharks with the right gear can provide exhilarating experiences on the water.

Last week at Sette Cama, our camp in Gabon, one of the anglers landed a real giant! The guides wrote…

Last week, we were fishing in the surf near our camp. We used a live bait and let it swim about 200 meters offshore, following the current to keep it at a 90-degree angle to the shore. After about 10 minutes, the bait got picked up, and we tightened the line.

Initially, we thought we had caught a small shark as it quickly came within 50 meters of the shore without much resistance. However, as it reached the back line, it made a powerful run, peeling off 300 meters of line in a single go.

After an hour and 20 minutes, we managed to bring it back to the back line, where we struggled with it for another 30 minutes. Finally, with the help of the waves and current, we were able to wear the shark out. After two hours, we landed a stunning bull shark weighing approximately 273 kilograms. The circle hook was perfectly set in the corner of its mouth, making it quick and easy to remove. We took a few pictures and then released her back into the ocean, where she swam off strong.

What an epic fish!
