Sport fishing activities from Rio Longa lodge caters for any type of fishing. Rock and surf fishing off the beaches and around the river mouths, with either bait or lures, concentrate on species like tarpon, cob, cuberra snappers, jack trevally, threadfin, large sand sharks and a variety of predator sharks. Light tackle and fly-fishing off one of the semi-rigid inflatables or the barge target species like tarpon, cob, and grunter, several bream species and the ever-present catfish. Day excursions to the Quanza river, world famous for record breaking tarpon, threadfin and jack trevally, offers the sport fisherman the opportunity to test his skills against these worthy adversaries. Deep sea fishing off the 26-foot ski-craft targets those warriors of the deep like dorado, sailfish and marlin. </font> </p><p align="justify"><font size="2" face="Verdana">Guided only by stories and accounts of yesteryear, the sport fishing knowledge regarding the area, tackle and species available is currently limited to the efforts of a few adventurous fisherman and the challenge to any visiting fisherman to add a another piece of the puzzle remains.</font></p></td></tr></table><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td width="42%" valign="top"><div align="justify"><font face="Verdana" size="2">The best period for fishing is regarded to stretch from October through to April as the floodwaters arrive during April and drastically effects the watercolour and temperature.
