The Fishing
Black Marlin Blue Marlin Striped
Marlin Sailfish Wahoo Yellowfin
Superb blue water game fishing awaits you around the Great Astrolabe
barrier reef, oceanic pinnacles, 4,000m deep trenches and nearby sea mounts.
Bite Me can be trolling in 1,000 meters of water within 10 minutes
of the resort for big Pacific blue marlin or working light tackle along
the outer fringes of the barrier reef for sailfish, and Kadavu's
famous monster wahoo.
Our specialty is light tackle Switch & Bait fishing for Pacific Sailfish.
We are more than happy to teach his exciting form of fishing to first
timers. We used this technique to take the 8kg and 10kg Fiji National
Records.
The Gear
Penn International Shimano Reelax
Pakula Wellsys
We carry Penn International 30lb, 50lb and 80lb big game trolling outfits
for those seeking chair or stand up and fight billfish. We also have Shimano
8kg and 10kg gear for the light tackle enthusiasts or those guests wishing
to make IGFA record attempts.
In addition we carry casting rods for the popper crunching GTs as well
as deep water jig outfits to find those deeper reef dwellers such as dog
tooth tuna, coral trout and black trevally.
Bite Me is outfitted with Reelax outriggers and 80lb game chair,
Simrad sounder/plotter/radar with autopilot and a teak cockpit for your
ultimate safety and comfort.
The Praise
"it
has been well documented in fishing magazines that these islands not only
produce an amazing variety of tropical gamefish, but also that the fish
seem to come in exceptionally large sizes"
"The huge black marlin and enormous wahoo we ran up against were
enough to convince me that the potential for records there is virtually
untapped!"
"...it seems the wahoo only come in two sizes - big and
bigger !"
"Our overnight stay at the pretty Matava Resort was a wonderful
experience and here traditional thatched Fijian bures set among the lush
hilly rainforest offer magnificent views of the lagoon and fringing reef"
