The lure of the lure turns dreams into reality for fishermen in Tanzania; being able to cast into deep blue waters until feeling the thrill of a sure-thing bite before wrestling with sailfish or a giant marlin, a barracuda or a yellow fin tuna before pulling it on board the vessel for yet another fishing victory. Tanzania has a number of excellent opportunities for deep sea fishing, with private boats and tour operators specializing in taking guest anglers out to sea for their fill of the adrenaline. There are also mainland fishing spots, especially in Dar es Salaam, Tanga and Pangani, where fishermen can cast off and hope for a golden bite.
