Thanks Ash, will do.

Darryl, don't worry, any billfish will be C&R. If I happen to land a nice wahoo or tuna, I may be tempted to catch & fillet.

John, I have not been there before, but it seems that Lamu, Malindi, Watamu, Kilifi, and Shimoni are places to explore. I saw the news report on YouTube from earlier in the year so I'm guessing the area around Lamu will have more military and police and will therefore be the safer place on the coast.

As for small magical places disappearing, it is what happens when word gets out and technology spreads. If your friend has any info, be it dated, I will listen.

Mike, thanks for the info and well done. Were you fishing the Pemba channel by chance? It sounds like the small boats have a good possibility for a lot of fun.
