Vanuatu/Fiji

[Nabba1]

Heading over to Vanuatu for 7 days and Fiji for 3 days at the end of August this year for my 40th with the misses. Part of the deal was to have a couple of fishing charter trips.

Just wondering if anyone has been to either place and had some good trips they could recommend? Just a day trips. Going to Santo and Villa in Vanuatu and Nadi in Fiji.

Also does anyone know if its worth taking a rod/reel over with some lure etc to maybe slip down the beach late arvo and throw some stick baits around etc??

Cheers

I went to Vanuatu and other islands near there on a cruise ship.
I had a little travel rod and reel ; some soft plastics and small lures.
Each place the boat stoped I tried my luck on the water ; either from jetty or charter boat.
The best experience I had was fishing from a dug out canoe with a out rigger ; caught heaps of Trout which they don't keep.
The bait of choice was banana plant root to my surprise.
Caught a massive Wahoo on 1000lb line and a home made lure . [ Battery terminal with lolly wrappers cabled tied and huge hooks that got straightened a few times ]
Iám sure you'll have a blast whatever you choose to do

Cheers Graham
