Mark Brewer’s Fishing Reports: Fiji an Ideal Destination for Fishing Holidays

The Love of Mark Brewer: Fishing in Fiji 

After my recent trip to Fiji with Mr. Oak, I have formed an opinion that there are no other places on this Earth that can match the untouched beauty of the Fijian island named Kadavu. Kadavu is isolated not only from other countries but from Fiji itself. It is a very short ride from Suva or Nadi. You can hire a boat to reach this island. The island of Kadavu is surrounded by the Great Astrolabe barrier reef, which is the fourth largest of its kind. The sea floor drops to 500 meters from the edge of the reef. This Pacific Ocean embedded island is an abode for varieties of tropical species of fishes. Game fishing is popular in this island and fishes come to this island as though drawn by a magnet. You will find rarest species of fishes in these waters. I (Mark Brewer) was left awestruck to view such a colorful population of fishes at Kadavu.

When the winter arrives at these islands there are baits everywhere. Mackerel, Skipjack and tuna are ideal baits for the fishes. In June, the marlin fishes show up and in July the packs of Pacific Sailfish and Wahoo arrive. It is easy to get your share of catch among such a large fish population. You can even rent boats for fishing which will land you right in the middle of dense fish population. When you emerge in deep waters you will find bunches of blue marlin, black marlin and Pacific Sailfish. Boat fishing can give you rich rewards. There are big fishes dwelling in these Pacific waters. My friend, Mr. Phoenix once caught a huge Sailfish.

In the fishing season, Kadavu is packed with fishing enthusiasts. So, if you are wishing to go fishing to this Fiji Island than my (Mark Brewer) advice to you would be to book all the necessities sometime prior.
