Deepwater Jigging

Deepwater Jigging

With 75 miles of outer barrier reef slopes, Kadavu Island offers a host of deepwater jigging opportunities for the jig and bottom fishing specialists.

75 miles of untouched outer barrier reef slopes, drop-offs and seamounts. Kadavu Island's deep waters are virtually unexplored.

The outer barrier reef slopes plummet from the breakers down to depth of 1,000m within sight of the reef.

We only recommend jigging anglers book here during the summer months (December to May). Summer time usually means calm weather, ideal for deepwater jigging.

We fish the 80 to 200m contour lines for Amberjack,  GTs, black trevally, emperors, grouper, rosy and green jobfish, bream and deepwater snapper such as opakapaka.

The variety of fish species down there is huge however our main target is the Dogtooth Tuna.

Anglers need to come prepared. Although we carry some light / medium tackle jigging gear, we do not carry heavy tackle.

If you want to target the monsters here we recommend you bring your own heavy tackle jigging equipment.

In good weather we can sometimes run out to an offshore seamount that rises from a depth of 2,000m to just 145m.

Fishing here is extreme in every respect. We recommend a minimum of 80lb braid and reels capable of 20kg of drag.
