Turtle Bay Camp is geared to cater for shore-anglers who would like to sample the virtually unexploited stocks of coastal fish that the area offers. The inshore area in close proximity to Turtle Bay Camp is a diverse mixture of rock reef and sand, which provides the ideal habitat for a wide variety of fish. Record-sized Giant Trevally (GT’s) are caught by spinning or fly-fishing.  Those who prefer to use bait will be well satisfied with their catches of GT’s as well as a variety of other species. The calm sea and weather conditions allow for light tackle. Turtle Bay Camp has Tag and Release, and research programs - all fish caught are released if not required for the table.
Although excellent catches are made within walking distance of Turtle Bay Camp, kayaks are supplied for fishing excursions further around Kalakajor island. Fishing tackle is not provided by Turtle Bay Camp, so please bring your own tackle. We will assist you in planning what you need when booking. Light bass-type and fly-fishing tackle is NOT provided and should be brought by anyone wishing to experience the great sport offered by large fish on this gear.
Following a two-minute walk towards the right of the camp a deep channel can be found running along a shallow rocky outcrop. Good-sized kingfish patrol this channel during the pushing and dropping tide, and good fun can be had on a 9 or 10-wt outfit. Several similar looking rocky outcrops are present around the island, where plenty of fish can be caught, including, bluefin kingfish, snapper and long-nosed emperor, among others. A prominent reef running out with a 90° angle from the southwest side of the island is lined with a fan-shaped turtle grass flat on the northern side and a deep channel on the south where large permit can be found, good time to fish this area is during changing tides.
