    The expected wahoo and Pacific sailfish action fired up in June with good wahoo packs all along the Kadavu island barrier reef and medium sized sailfish to 75lbs forming small packs in the usual hot spots. Bite Me took the womens W-10kg Line Class Fiji National Record with a good sail of over 100lbs and single fish over this size are fairly common right now.The windy weather so far in July has made for difficult light tackle fishing but with Kadavu island's big lee shore, nobody has gone home disappointed with a number of other light and ultra-light tackle Fiji National Records on wahoo, GTs and Yellowfin tuna falling to visiting anglers.

The drift net fishery was gone, and the ban was effective as only one net-marked fish was reported out of the 802 caught on the fishery for the season! Even more encouraging was the large increase in the number and overall size of the fish running into the river. This was coupled with a large increase in the percentage of fish taken on the fly and also the number of fish released alive back into the river. The improved runs should also be seen in western UK fisheries, notably in Wales & Wessex. A month by month summary can be read in the full article (click the read more link)

  • Fiji Fishing Report – August 2007
    We are now well into the winter wahoo and Pacific sailfish run but this year continues to disappoint a little. The large packs of marauding wahoo that congregate along the barrier reef are fewer in number than normal. For the waters around Kadavu Island- Fiji Islands Charter Operator – Matava Resort Gamefishing Boat Names – Bite Me (Offshore) and Offensive Tackle (Inshore) Average Water Temp – 25.5 Average Sea State – Wind chop to 6ft, Occasional groundswell to 4ft Average Winds – Breezy to 20kts mostly ESE Water Clarity – Good inshore, good offshore We are now well into the winter wahoo and Pacific sailfish run but this year continues to disappoint a little. The large packs of marauding wahoo that congregate along the barrier reef are fewer in number than normal. Though packs are being found in some of the usual places, some sites that normally hold wahoo packs are just not firing up yet. The average wahoo size is also lower than normal at about 20kg rather than 26kg though some big solitary fish have been seen. The sails have also been down in numbers though some very nice fish to 60kgs have been tagged & released. Normally the average sail pack consists of about 5 to 6 fish but this year, so far, sails have been raised as solo fish or in pairs. It may well be that the late fall in water temperature is leading to a late season here and September may be the peak month rather than the usual July / August. The upside though is the blue marlin fishing. Normally fairly quiet at this time of year, there seems to be significant numbers of blues close in to the reefs ranging in size from 80kgs to 200kgs. During the recent Pacific Harbour Tournament, charter boat ‘Opulence’ hooked up a blue estimated at 600lbs on 15kg line class but the fish was lost. ‘Bite Me’ had a blue of about 150kgs free-jumping behind the spread but couldn’t get a shot. Another competitor on ‘Catalina’ was spooled on 24kg before the deck could be cleared. There are clearly some good sized blues out there in the mix. The yellowfin are coming through in waves so one week they are everywhere and the next, hard to find anywhere other than the Kadavu seamount. This area always holds tuna. Quite a few mahi mahi around with the average size around 10kg though some nice fish to 20kg were weighed during the recent tournament. The GTs are still active in the surf zones with a lot of smaller fish to 15kg giving great sport on 15kg line class. Summary Water – Still slightly warmer than normal but continuing to fall slowly. Weather – The usual winter trade winds often making it choppy Blue Marlin – More around than usual and some big ones present Sailfish – Ones and twos in all the usual place Wahoo – Not a great year so far but still good wahoo fishing by anyone’s standard Yellowfin - Here in good numbers but can be patchy as schools move throug Mackerel – Plenty of small ones inshore, the bigger guys now hitting ballyhoo rig Mahi Mahi – Yes, lots to 20lbs and some bigger fish showin GTs – Excellent popper casting fishing at the moment but the weather sometimes interferes Captain Adrian Watt Director, Matava Resort Gamefishing, Tel: + (679) 333 6222 or 333 6098 www.GameFishingFiji.blogspot.com www.Matava.com
