Fishing the South Pacific

Tonga, Vanuatu, Fiji, the Solomon Islands and Niue are among the hotspots, both fish and weather wise. Because of their temperate climates, these island destinations have the water temperatures to attract the big fish all year round. While some species are more prevalent than others, there is always something awesome out there willing to have a shot at your gear.

Fishing in the Pacific can be as simple or as involved as you want to make it. And angling in these waters does not just stop with marlin and tuna. Sailfish, wahoo and mahimahi (dolphin fish) abound in the same waters and they can be more than a handful on light tackle. And what could be more fun than targeting them on your own tackle!

Sailfish are renowned for their aerobatics, their big sails slashing in the sunlight as they dance across the water. Wahoo have a blistering first run. You have probably heard the term ‘watching line melt from your reel ’ – wahoo fishers probably coined the phrase. Likewise, few who have witnessed a big bull mahimahi ‘pounce ’ on a lure will ever forget it, not to mention the great account these colourful speedsters give of themselves once hooked up.

While trolling is the tried and true approach to catching these species, anglers who want to take a more active approach should not leave the South Pacific without experiencing the thrill of casting poppers and jigs to the likes of dogtooth tuna and giant trevally. Imagine a kingfish on steroids and you have an inkling of the pulling power of these two species, ‘doggies ’ especially. One of the most spectacular sights in fishing is watching a big GT inhaling a popper off the surface and racing away with a huge splash. However you like your fishing, there is a myriad of piscatorial experiences awaiting your pleasure, so why not sample something a little different this year?

Now that you are hooked, how do you get there? Your first stop should be Dive Fish Snow Travel, whose expert staff have checked out all the destinations and can give you the genuine oil.
