TIGER FISHING
The tiger can be caught by a variety of methods such as trolling, spinning, drifting and bottom fishing and one can also use live bait or fillet. However, the best dead bait is without doubt the Kapenta. The small sardine (kapenta) was introduced into Lake Kariba some 10 years ago, on a commercialised basis to provide protein for the population. Kapenta account for more than 50% of the tigerfish’s diet. Primarily a summer fish on the lower river, but on the Upper Zambezi July and August are prime months
