Koro Sun & Lolomalangi. This was a fun time for us as there were a abundance of fish, & we could guarantee we would catch fish. When the long liners started to come in this quickly changed.</p><p>During our 25 years we have met a lot of interesting people, Had a lot of fun & caught a lot of fish. With Covid we aren't sure of the future, Searov is up on the hard & Terry is doing maintenance on her so it will be a waiting gamefor us like a lot of people around the world.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

It's been a while since we have been out as Terry has been busy painting the boat & we have had 2 cyclones pass by already this season.<br />
The seas were nice & calm as we headed out, but there was nothing to be seen as we made our way to one of the sea mounts, after a couple of hours we decided to try the other sea mount as this one was dead.<br />
<br />
As we got closer to the other mount we could finally see birds & signs of fish!<br />
Soon there were big Yellow Fin heading our way jumping out of the water.<br />
<br />
Bang the first line goes off, Terry grabs it & tries to take it out of the holder as another line goes off, I come down to try & help but the other 2 lines go off so had to climb back up to keep the boat straight.<br />
<br />
Soon one line snaps taking line & lure with it, not long after the other 2 lines go slack.<br />
Terry finally manages to bring the remaining fish on board so we at least have lunch. We saw the school now working away from us, but as soon as we reached the spot, they are gone.<br />
<br />
We slowly made our way home & picked up a nice barracuda on the way home, this is great as barracuda are nice eating in Fiji. Saw nothing else so were really lucky to get at least the one Yellow fin.<br />

<br />
This morning we were able to take a couple across the bay to one of our favourite spots. It was a nice relaxing day for all of us.<br />
<br />
As we motored back up Nakama creek the dredge was busy dredging all the area between Nawi Island & the navigation channel for the company that own Nawai Island.<br />

<br />
Gosh didn't realise it has been months since my last entry.<br />
<br />
Haven't done much fishing as we had the haul out in June, that took a couple of months, then we had cleaning up.<br />
<br />
After so long being up it took its toll on all the paint, so now more work to make her look loved again!<br />
<br />
Decided to take her out yesterday just to give the engines a good run after being on the hard for so long, it was a beautiful morning as we left the Copra Shed Marina, we headed out to the seamount to see if anything was working?<br />
<br />
About 10 mins after the lines were in the water we had our first double strike, got the first yellow fin tuna in then to the other line, all of a sudden it went screaming out then snap. A shark had taken the tuna, lure & line.<br />
<br />
All lines out again & so headed to where the birds were working, wasn't long before the line went screaming out again, I had to rush down to help Terry to bring in the other lines so as not to cause a tangle.<br />
<br />
Terry played it for about 10mins then knew it was a shark, after another 5mins he had it to the boat but all of a sudden the shark found new energy & took off again braking the line with the lure still in its mouth.<br />
<br />
That was enough having lost 2 good lures we decided to go back home, we had lunch & the engines had a good run so it was a good day.<br />
<br />
On the way home we ran into a large pod of pilot whales, such a wonderful sight to see these huge creatures swim so gracefully through the ocean, some getting so close to the boat I could almost touch them, unfortunately I missed those shots.<br />

Needed to take Searov out to charge batteries & as it looked like it was going to be a fine day decided to carry on a little further.<br />
<br />
There were a few birds flying around inside the harbour but after chasing them for a while decided to try the seamount.<br />
<br />
There were lots of patches of birds working but nothing seemed to be coming up, then the outer line went off took it out for a short while then nothing, whatever it was did not hook on!<br />
<br />
There were lots of dolphins around so decided to try somewhere else.<br />
<br />
Soon there was something on the line & it went roaring off, then I saw a Marlin jump to the right had side of the boat.<br />
As it was just Terry & I on board all hell broke out. Terry had 5 lines out so these had to be bought in first.<br />
<br />
Finally just over a hour & and a half it was close enough to gaff, it was nearly dead so couldn't release it. Once the gaff was in, it was now time to pull it onto the duckboard, this was a major feat and had to be done very quickly as sharks were beginning to appear under the fish.<br />
<br />
Finally it was on & we slowly headed home while Terry secured fish. It was a black about 95kg.<br />
<br />

<br />
Such a beautiful day in Savusavu this morning, just the day to be out and about on the water.<br />
<br />
Been a while since we have been out so will share these photos instead.<br />
<br />
Have a wonderful day.Savusavu Fishinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06941919705873630636noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3400347414401533635.post-89569808724280989972018-04-06T10:56:00.000+12:002018-04-06T10:56:13.722+12:00Wet weather<br />
<br />
It has not been a good few months, we have had a awful lot of rain over the Fiji Islands causing some of the worse flooding on Viti Levu around the Nadi, Lautoka, Ba & Rakiraki areas.<br />
<br />
Households loosing everything as the floods raged through the towns, fortunately only 5 lives were lost, but people are now left with nothing, & no fresh water to drink.<br />
<br />
Yesterday on Vanua Levu, Labasa & some villages along some of the coastal roads in Savusavu that are near rivers, were flooded, farmers loosing all their crops.<br />
<br />
Haven't had much work this year one of the worse for us, hopefully it will pick up soon as we are over the cyclone season, the report coming in is fish is very hard to find?<br />
<br />
Went to buy fish & chips from our local & ended up with chicken & chips as there wasn't any fish!<br />
<br />
The sun is trying hard to come out from behind the clouds so hopefully we will be able to dry out the soggy ground, & get the grass again.<br />
<br />
Some photos taken on a fine day when we took Searov out to charge batteries.<br />

<br />
As we left the dock on Sunday we weren't very hopeful as the last couple of charters fish has been hard to find & we only ended up with 4 Skippie's, not a bad size but not Yellow fin!<br />
<br />
It was a beautiful calm day out on the ocean but like the last charters, bird life & fish weren't around, headed to the Koro sea mount, nothing around so we headed towards the reef.<br />
<br />
We were getting really desperate to find some life, so decided as a last bit to try a place where we have caught fish when none of the other places have produced.<br />
<br />
Thankfully, as we drew closer Sam asked what that white thing in the water was? It was a bird & as I looked ahead with the binoculars I saw a mass of life, both birds & fish.<br />
<br />
It was great to see all the Yellowfin jumping out of the water, we finally got 6 in the boat but lost 3 fish & lures. Time to go shopping for new lures.<br />
<br />
Now it was time to head home, as all of a sudden it all went dead.<br />

Hello Trevina,<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Sorry for the delay in my response. Here are some photos and what I would like to add to the blog.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Thank you again for the experience!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
"My boyfriend and I had the pleasure of spending the day at sea with Trevina and Terry on Jan 6, 2018. Although, I got a little ill from being out on a boat for the first time, these two made sure the experience was wonderful. We met with them in the early morning and watched the beautiful Fijian sunrise. After some time, we caught a yellowfin tuna! I am thankful to have met such kind people, and I am happy that we got to enjoy Fiji from a different persepctive.<br /></div>

Vinaka vaka levu,</div>

Thank you both for the very kind words.</div>

What a lovely sight that greeted us as we waited for our guest to arrive for their charter.<br />
<br />
Over the last few weeks there has been such a foul smell coming off all the Mangrove that the developers on Nawi have destroyed, last week our guest complained about the stench. It is a sad sight to see Mangroves that took hundreds of years to grow to that stage destroyed in a matter of weeks.<br />
<br />
Anyway it was a great day on the water, Lisa got her wish & saw whales & Will got his fish, a nice Sailfish, and we all enjoyed the morning on the water. <br />

What a day to be out on the water, seas are flat calm & a great sunrise to great us.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The day started slow but about 9.30 we got into a school of yellowfin, got 8 into the boat & 2 Rainbow runners, lost a few fish along the way & Gary also got to play a shark, which had taken 2 of our lures but thankfully we got one back before it snapped the line.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All this & no photos to show, somehow we got talking having a few beers, then sorted the fish forgetting we hadn't taken photos! </div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I just wanted to say a big thankyou once again for a great couple of trips you guys never fail to get me onto some fish and that was proven on both trips this time with 8 yellow fin and 2 rainbow runners (unfortunately someone forgot to take some photos) on the first trip and then a nice 10kg Mahi Mahi on the second trip (my first one of these) so it was great to catch it with you. I always look forward to coming out with you and having a chat over Terrys great coffee (haha) and Travinas hard boiled eggs and cheesey bread. Hopefully I will be back out there next year and catching more fish. Once again Vinaka Vaka Levu and hope to see you soon. Can I have a mailing address for you as I am sending Terry a little Xmas present.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

Finally we managed to get out on the water again, and a great day was had by all.<br />
<br />
We had a Marlin on for a few minutes but it threw the hook & was gone, then we had a Mahimahi do the same thing, one of the clients hadn't fished salt water before so didn't keep the weight on the line so lost another one!<br />
<br />
Thankfully we got 2 to the boat before we set off for home, it was a fun day & the sea was such a beautiful blue.<br />

We have lost about 4 charters over the last month because of the rough sea conditions, thankfully it did calm down on Friday so we did manage to get out pass the lighthouse</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There wasn't much around when we got to the seamount so went looking, we did come across some yellowfin, managed to get one to the boat but pulled out just as Terry went to land it.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Managed to get 2 Mahimahi and 1 Wahoo into the boat so we had something for dinner.</div>

<i>Finally the winds calmed down enough this morning so we could do a charter, we left the dock a little after 6.30.</i></div>
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
<i>As we got towards the light house there was still a sea so Terry started to put the lines out as it is calmer in the harbour, once lines were in the water we headed towards the seamount.</i></div>
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
<i>It was close to a hour & no birds or fish were to be seen, then off to the left I saw a few birds so headed towards them.</i></div>
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
<i>Once we reached the birds we could see a big workup, something we haven't seen for a while, our first strike was on 4 lines, we lost 1 as there were only 3 people on the deck, but 3 in the boat was a great start.</i></div>
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
<i>We ended up with 6 yellow fin 3 about 23-25kg the first 3 smaller, we had all the fish in the box by 9.15am, & finally able to relax & take a breather.</i></div>
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
<i>The ice box was full & being a hot day the ice was melting fast so headed home slowly trolling, in case a Mahimahi came our way.</i></div>

<br />
<i>The last wee we have been busy keeping a eye on the Cyclone Ella that was heading our way.</i><br />
<i>Searov was put on our cyclone mooring & everything was made as safe as possible in preparation.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Yesterday, the good news was received that Ella was heading north of us & was now a Cat 1 so we are finally out of danger, this was a huge sigh of relief to everyone as people are still living in tents in some of the villages after cyclone Winston last year.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Tomorrow we will bring Searov back to the dock & hopefully be able to charters again later in the week.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Some photos taken yesterday, as the weather cleared up.</i><br />

<br />
On Saturday we finally put Searov back in the water for her usual checks & anti fouling, so took her out on Sunday for her first charter<br />
<br />
A young couple been married a week from the USA. Today we had just a slight swell but they were coping with it,<br />
<br />
About 15mins into fishing one reel went reeling out & out the back we could see this Marlin jumping, well the usual panic happened then Heather got into the chair to play her fish. For a small person she did remarkably well it took her 50 mins to get it to the boat.<br />
<br />
As it swam alongside the boat Terry said it was probably only about 80 kg so we should release it, Heather was in agreement so after a few photos it was let go.<br />
Not too long after the reel went off this time Andrew was in the chair & it wasn't long till we had a nice Wahoo on board.<br />
<br />
Today we had a couple from Russia, normally in these rough conditions we wouldn't have gone out, but there was happy to go & have fished all over the world so were use to these conditions.<br />
We ended up with 2 Wahoo & 1 Mahimahi, which wasn't too bad for the conditions.<br />
<br />
Hope this weather calms down a little so we can get out again. it has been blowing 20 knots since we came home!<br />

<br />
We have been out a couple of times but haven't any photos of fish to show.<br />
<br />
On one of the charters we were having a slow start until 9.30 when we got into a school of birds & fish, our first fish was a skipjack tuna. The school just kept on moving so fast it took a while to catch up, but nothing was hooking up so decided to find something else.<br />
<br />
About a half hour later we came upon a massive work up, withing a few minutes we had a hook up which John took, Terry started to bring lines in then we had another hook up, Terry played this one for about 10 mins before it snapped the line.<br />
<br />
John had something big on & it was taking him a while to try & gain some line back as the fish nearly spooled us, as soon as line was gained it would spool out again.<br />
<br />
It took about 2 hours to finally gain some line for Terry to try & trace it, the fish had other ideas, another 1/2 hour & we were no closer to tracing it, as soon as Terry started to trace it it would just dive under the boat taking line out again.<br />
<br />
In all the years we have been fishing we have never seen anything so powerful, John just had to hold the rod tightly when it did its dive as it was so powerful he couldn't move it.<br />
<br />
We know it had to be a yellowfin as I saw massive big ones as I steered the boat to the workup, but unfortunately it snapped the line before we could get it close enough to see the fish & size of it, we did have colour so it wasn't a shark.<br />
<br />
After 2 1/2 hours it was a disappointment but as John said, it had put up a good fight so deserves to get off!<br />

Have had a couple of charters over the last few weeks, the first one we caught 2 yellowfin but lost 3 lures to big fish, still bringing 2 in made the clients happy.<br />

<br />
Our last charter started out on a beautiful morning, the moon had just gone down & as we got the boat ready the sun came up, seas are calm so should be a great day.<br />
<br />
It was a slow start to the day, saw a lot of Dolphins right at the boat, but no sign of bird or fish life. Just before 10 we hooked a Marlin, the line started to reel out as the Marlin started jumping out of the water at the back of the boat. Kyle jumped into the chair & started to work the rod, again another lot of line peeling out as the Marlin raced across the back, this time nearly spooling us.<br />
<br />
It was a hard job trying to bring line back in, as soon as we gained some it took off again. This went on for about 45 mins & finally looked as it was near the boat, when suddenly the line went dead! After all that hard work it was gone.<br />
The lure must have been just on the beak & not hooked properly.<br />
<br />
Again the lines were set & we began our search for fish, soon a big school of birds were seen on the horizon so made our way to the action. It wasn't long till we had a double hook up, it took some time bringing the fish in working them at from opposite sides of the boat. <br />
<br />
Once the fish were in we started to look for the birds but they had travelled a long way away from us, caught up to them but this time the fish went down so decided to call it a day & headed home.<br />
<br />
Thankfully we have fish for dinner & it has been a lovely day out on the water.<br />

<br />
Happy New Years to everyone ,hope 2017 will be a better one then 2016 for most of us living in Fiji after the Cyclone in February.<br />
<br />
Thankfully the year ended on a nigh for us thanks to a lovely couple from Melbourne Australia.<br />
<br />
We left the dock a little after 7am heading out to the sea mount, a little pass the lighthouse Terry started putting the lines out, it wasn't long before one of the lines went screaming out, then nothing, whatever it was that took the line decided it didn't want it!<br />
<br />
A little further along we hooked up again this time it stayed on & it was a nice Mahimahi, then a fairly decent size Barracuda. <br />
<br />
Arriving at the sea mount was a little disappointing, not a sigh of any life at all no birds working & no sigh of fish, we did the usual runs to see if anything was working somewhere in the area but there wasn't.<br />
<br />
Thankfully birds were finally spotted so we headed to the area where we picked up another barracuda, then we go into a school of fish, at first the fish wouldn't take anything we put out, then we got some hits.<br />
<br />
We ended up with a nice Yellow fin & 3 skipjack tuna so in total 7 fish, wasn't great but not a bad day.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately I didn't get photos but have been promised that the photos would be sent on once they get home.Savusavu Fishinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06941919705873630636noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3400347414401533635.post-25265462526700996182016-11-28T09:53:00.002+13:002016-11-28T09:55:13.268+13:00Karen with her Mahimahi<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Managed to get a good look of the Supermoon last night once the cloud moved away, didn't need any lights on outside with the amount of moonlight.

Gosh it has been a long time since my last entry, time has really flown pass this year more so because of Cyclone Winston.<br />
<br />
Not sure what is happening to the fishing over the last few months, there isn't the fish we had last year around, maybe it is just late arriving?<br />
<br />
Have had a few charters, lost a few good lures to sharks & a couple to unknown fish.<br />
<br />
This morning 21 years ago we were on the water heading for Savusavu so had to go out today just to remind us of it, & we couldn't have picked a better day.<br />

This was taken as a visiting cruise liner was entering Savusavu Harbour while our local ferry was departing, also local fishermen loading up with ice for a day out on the water.<br />
Have a great day.<br />
