Fishing methods used in Fiji

Heavy tackle on Bite Me, Fiji Kadavu island sees black, blue and striped marlin however the predominent species targeted and caught all year round is the blue marlin.

Ranging in size from 150lbs to 1,000lbs they can be caught trolling lures, tuna skip-baits or livebaiting.

Light / Medium Tackle

We consider 8-10kg (16-20lb) line class to be light tackle around these waters and for general fishing 15kg (30lb) line class is mostly used.

Ultra Light Tackle & Record Hunting

Nothing compares to fighting a gamefish on ultra-light tackle. When you are hooked up on 4kg line class to a little 10kg yellowfin tuna and the fish laughes in your face and peels of 200 yards of line, then you realise what its all about.
