Fiji Diving, Fishing and Accommodation - Matava Resort, Kadavu
"...skipjacks, yellow fin and giant trevally were fish we landed. The cooks did magnificent sashimi, kokoda, smoked fish and steaks... I will be back to fish again..." Neville Hall, New Zealand
Superb blue water game fishing awaits you at the Great Astrolabe Reef and nearby continental shelf drop off. Anglers who want to spend an exciting few hours or those sport fishing for the first time can do so by trying their hand at catching walu, barracuda, trevally or mahimahi and maybe catch one for the Barbecue that night.

The keen billfish angler or those eager to experience big game fishing can step up the tackle and head off for the chance of marlin, sailfish or tuna and the best stand up and fight experience they are likely to have. We do not take billfish trophies - the policy is catch, take the picture and release to fight another day.
A 20ft whaler game fishing boat in center-console design is operated by the resort and is available for exclusive charter to our guests. The recommended party size is four however 6 can be accommodated. With a maximum speed of 35 knots it will have guests fishing the outside barrier reef and continental drop off within 10 minutes. There is no toilet on board, however the boat carries full electronics, Fishfinder, GPS, Marine VHF Radio, life jackets, flares, air horn, EPIRB and a stand-by engine. A safety briefing is given to all guests prior to departure.
