Fishing with Matthias on the Smoker

Located in Mindelo, São Vicente - an island in the northern Cape Verde archipelago - this Fishing charter is probably one of the best Boats for your next big game fishing adventure. The Fishing day usually lasts 10 hours and if the fishing is good of course we extend the day. We usually leave the harbor between 6 and 8 a.m. depending on the fish activity, tides and preferences of our clients. Our main target is the Blue Marlin. We practice a lot of stand up and pitch bait fishing is always a great challenge for both Anglers and crew. Besides the large number of Blue Marlin, we also catch Wahoo, Tuna, Sailfish and Shark in Cape Verde. The peak season for Marlin fishing is usually from April to early July although it depends on many factors such as currents, water temperature, winds, bait etc. From July to November the Marlin fishing may decrease in intensity, but still the chances of hooking a Marlin are high (especially when compared to the Canary Islands, Madeira & Azores). At this time of year we combine deep sea fishing with jigging as the weather is calmer and jigging in areas normally inaccessible due to strong winds and swell is a privilege! The Boat Smoker is a 37ft Bertram and has 2 450 hp Cummins engines that will get you quickly and safely to the best fishing areas in São Vicente, San Antão or Santa Luzia. On board we have 80 / 50 lb Shimano Tiagra reels, Rupp Rigger, Pompanette fighting chair, Custom Chair and Stand Up rods from Texas (USA), fighting belt for chair and stand up, Bluewater, Makaira and Black Bart lures, Moldcraft Super Chuggers with Ballyhoos, jigging rods with Shimano Stella 20000 reels, 30 lb TLD Shimano with Westin rods, Dredges and much more!
