I'm also planning to do a bit of beach fishing and once again would greatly appreciate ant tips regarding bait , best places to try etc.
If you can could you also give me any idea of the prices I should expect to pay for a days fishing with the local guys. I have already booked a trip with the tour operator which has cost me £37 and is described as Creek Fishing...

How did you arrange your fishing trips ? Any contact details etc..?

Anyway , look forward to hearing from you soon

Kind Regards

Hi mumf
I know that Richard Sheard at worldsportfishing is doing a weeks exploratory trip with his 2 9 metre sportfishers dates 14th until the 21st December where you only pay for fuel and tips he will be trying out some new wrecks reefs and also trying some billfishing
last time i was there i used wildgambia which is run by Bob wilde and his guide Fafa they do beach as well as boat fishing
you could also take a look at hookedongambia and also africanangling
if you need any tackle these guys mussa and taffa are based where you will be staying and there tel no is 02207722165 or google mokingfisher@yahoo.com and last but not least and i have never used them myself every body loves these two guys Tom and Assan tel +2207781160 and my guess is they will be busy but i am sure that they will be able to assist you in your fishing
ps dont forget to haggle and i always tip my guys 10 euros a day and that is a lot of money out there
I hope this helps tight lines and dont try to be clever get yourself a guide but also remember Gambia is not the place it was but there are still fish to be caught
good luck Simple
