Fish species caught
Marlin

Black, blue and striped marlin are all found in Fiji waters though the predominant species is the blue marlin which is caught all year round.

Black marlin are relatively rare and tend to be seen when trolling baits along the outer slopes of the barrier reef. Though rare, all blacks seen here in Kadavu are big.

Giant Trevally (GT)

The big bruiser of the reef system with a mean attitude and a propensity to head for the nearest coral bommie and bust you off. Some anglers specialize in fishing for GTs.

Wahoo

Every year from June through to October, large packs of wahoo gather along the Great Astrolabe barrier reef. We specialise in hunting wahoo on light tackle.

Trolling lures until we find a pack, we then switch to a couple of rigged garfish (ballyhoo) baits.

Sailfish

Every year from May through to September, large packs of sailfish gather along the outer slopes of the barrier reef.

Often, individual sailfish come inside the reef and are found in the lagoons.

Juvenile great barracuda abound along the outer reef slopes and are often considered a nuisance as they destroy lure skirts and carefully rigged baits.
