The local fisherman have basically raped the outlying reef surrounding the whole of the East coast , but you can still walk out to the surf zone at low tide and give it a bash , just watch out for the urchins!
Machamvi watersports resort (about 15 min up the coast) runs a fishing charter contact Dave Lange +255 784 75 8633 p.s their tackle needs some tlc and I have never fished with them.
The most experienced charter company on the island is run from Nungwi (1.5 hrs away)
contact, I fished with Gerry for almost 4 years and can thoroughly recommend him.
