Charter fishing in Fiji with Derek, Carly, John and Brendan.

No snorkeling today with Derek and Carly, just good old fashioned trolling. 
We got word that the Wahoo and Spanish Mackerel had arrived in Fiji and were on the chew. 
So, with trolling gear in hand and a full tank of gas off we go. 
The weather started a bit iffy but soon the sun was out and the sky cleared up. We had a bit of wind chop all day but nothing we couldn't handle. After all, the trades in Fiji can blow 25 knots for a week straight. 10 to 15 is nothing, just keeps you cool in the sun.

Waiting for the bite.

First on board a Barracuda.

Derek with his first Wahoo still showing its colors.

Carly with her first Spanish Mackerel.

Rosie with a Long Tom.

Brendan with a nice Spanish Mackerel.

John, that's not a guitar.

Only in the tropics.

John with a Bluefin Trevally.

We had a great time with these guys and can't wait for them to come back to Fiji and fish with us.

Until next time

Hi there,

Good haul!

Wahoo are on my fishing bucket list.
And Rosie's Long Tom is a monster!


Have a good day.

Good post. Thanks for posting this content. I feel Mackerel are much more than bait fish. If you catch them at the right tackle, Mackerels can be real fun to catch. Mackerels are found in clean sand surface beaches and shallower beaches too. If you set out to catch Mackerels on one of those luxurious deep sea fishing charters, watch for signs like birds diving into the sea which indicates the presence of Mackerels close to the surface. Watch for packs of Jellyfish that indicate a warmer water band which holds Mackerel. Dawn sees the Mackerel on the seabed level, rising higher in the water level as the day progresses. This post clearly shows the joys of catching Mackerel. Kindly publish more such blogs which include fantastic pictures such as this one.
