Yarraone Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Well I am back home and it was another great year in Fiji.. I managed 4 half day trip fishing and 6 dives amongst the day of relaxing.Weather was great apart from the 4pm afternoon showers. After seeing my local guy that I always fish with it was on.. The reports were not that good , but the locals say I am a lucky fisherman and always bring the fish. The fish caught , I give to the village to feed them all.. Day 1 started a little slow but the it fired up and after only 3 hours we had 4 mahi Mahi and 4 tuna.. Day 2 was incredible, I lost a huge yellow fin, but boated 1 good 15kg yellow fin and ended up with a total of 18 tuna of mixed varieties. Day 3 I took a young boy with me that wanted to fish for the first time. It gave his parents some much need time alone.. Lost 2 big mahi Mahi but we boated a good mixed bag of mahi mahi, rainbow runner, barracooda and tuna Day 4 was my last chance and the weather had blown in but I was sure it would pass, so out we went. 2 hours went by nothing. Then the sky cleared and we were on. tuna were coming in hard and fast. It was a mixed bag all good fish over 2 to 3 kg most of them. Then we got a good Mahi mahi..This just topped my day.. The here it was a very solid hook up and then ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ in a big way.. It was on the big rod with a tiagra 50W 24kg line... All of a sudden during the scream "SNAP" The line had so much recoil it came back at me and I was covered in about 50m of line.. we were geussing big YFT.. All up this last day we still boated 24 tuna and 1 mahi mahi.. I am in FIJI every year around valentines day .. I stay on the coral coast.. PM me if you want more info.. Hope you enjoy the pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paikea Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Great post and pics. We usually do to Denarou Island every second year where we stay at Worldmark however they refurbished the place last year and now we have to book 2 years ahead. Denarou is good with plenty of places to visit and a harbour that has charter boats operating. Never tried them but from all accounts they are very pricey. The Coral Coast sounds good, how do you get there after landing from Aus? And what accommodation is available? Cheers Paikea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
