FISHING
The channel exit between Santo Antao and Sao Vicente is a great spot for "blue marlins", very well known by international fishermen.
Blue marlins captured at S. Pedro, spot which is protected from the dominant winds, made the archipelago known worldwide. Catches averaging 200 to 300 kilos are common, some specimens exceeding the 500 kilos mark. The first catches are generally done mid-March and the season runs till the end of November, with some variations due to the temperature changes. The significant quantity of Wahoo is also an element of fishing in Cape Verde. Big yellow tunas (yellow fin tuna) and sharks can also be found.
For fishing amateurs there are many varieties of grouper (“mérou”), but also “sérioles”, toothed, “émissoles”, lines and crabs. Big drag fishing and small drag along the coastline can be practiced all year round, although December and January present a high probability of rough sea.
