Tarpon Fishing in Gabon West Africa Tarpon fishing in Gabon West Africa has been a part of my life for longer than I realised at the time. I have been fortunate to spend a significant part of my life in Gabon. From the early African Waters days, back when we were still Tourette Fishing setting...

The structure held fish. But the wind had other...
Sette Cama Gabon fishing Sette Cama Gabon fishing is rarely predictable. Some seasons the tarpon arrive early and settle into the mouth quickly.
