The Gambia – West Africa
Fact file
This friendly West African Country can offer the travelling
angler and his family , the opportunity to sample fantastic
Beach fishing , along with good quality hotels and stunning
beaches and weather. All the usual holiday excursions are
available for those non fishing days and the hotel entertainment
