Dakar is served by twice weekly flight from New York. Air Afrique flies modern jets featuring superb cuisine and comfortable seating. The flight from New York to Dakar takes only seven hours. There are several sportfishing operators in Dakar. The Air Afrique skippers and crew are knowledgeable and very hard working.
Most skippers prefer to fish bait.
They will jig live bait if possible. Several Air Afrique skippers understand the special needs of fly anglers. As you would expect, the weather is reliably hot. During the rainy season from June to October daily rains cause high humidity coupled with high heat. Daytime temperatures can range from the high eighties to one hundred degrees.
