Ryder Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Hi Raiders, Just home from 'not another fishing holiday' in Fiji. We stayed at a small Eco resort in the north east islands. It was devistated in February by Cyclone Winston. Rather remote. No phone, no hot water and no fishing in front of the resort. Marine Reserve. I found a small bay where I could fish the flats and drop off nearby. Casting metals on 10lb gear I picked up some variety. Trevally, Coral Trout, Queenies, Snapper, etc. The largest Trev went 65cm to the fork, great fun on light gear. I kept anything I thought was plate worthy and handed it over to the kitchen. Saving the small group of guests from Death By Chicken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowie Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 A few nice fish regardless, and much better than here at the moment. Most fish are edible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdanger Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Man, how good is Fiji!? Always pays to pack a rod and I'd be very happy with that class of fish, especially while on a leisurely holiday flick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spearer1 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 I'm going to Mana Island in October, what do you recommend I take? I've got a Freams 4000, Catalina 5000H, certate 2500.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryder Posted August 21, 2016 Author Share Posted August 21, 2016 I went with a shimano exage 4000, spooled with 10lb Braid and a raider travel 703 rod. Plus a half dozen metals, slices, knights and raiders.25-40 g This wasn't a fishing holiday so I kept the gear to a minimum. Dived to retrieve a couple of lures and caught fish on the local chook feather jigs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
