Karen with her Mahimahi

             Here is Karen who is visiting from Japan with her fish.

Supermoon in Savusavu

 

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. 

Beautiful Savusavu Morning

Gosh it has been a long time since my last entry, time has really flown pass this year more so because of Cyclone Winston.

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?

Have had a few charters, lost a few good lures to sharks & a couple to unknown fish.

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.

Last Wahoo we caught a couple of weeks ago, it made a few good meals for out customers.

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.
Have a great day.

Fishing in Savusavu

 

What a great few week we have had, not only has the fishing been good but Fiji 7's rugby team have won a Gold in the Olympics. 

On one of the charters we caught a lot of small Yellow fin Tuna it kept the boys working hauling in the fish as we had gotten into a school, it was a lot of fun but unfortunately when we got to the dock, beers were bought & so with the excitement, forgot to take photos before we started to give the fish away to friends.

On the charter with Lee, we landed a very nice Yellow fin Tuna after some hard work, but lost a big Marlin, it peeled out line & as Lee started to work it in it snapped the line taking our new lure with it, oh well at least we were able to see the fish as it did some lovely jumps.  Later on Lee also hooked up a big Bronze Whaler shark, which he managed to play to the boat then also snapping the line & again taking another lure.
He had a amazing day as his wife also managed to land fish another 5 small yellow fin, so that was also a great day out on the water. 

On one of our charters, line managed to get round the props so Searov had to be hauled out again on Monday as one of the Hydraulic  Rams started leaking fluid, so no fishing for us for about a week till everything is fixed.

Mahimahi

These are photos that Alan has sent us of his catch.

We have managed to take a few charters the last few weeks as the weather has been good. fish hasn't been plentiful, but a few of the fish have been of a decent size.  the biggest Mahimahi caught by Alan weighed in over 20kg.

On the Friday charter there were so many dolphins out there. rounding up the bait fish, some jumping out of the water & then coming down with a splash to stun the little fish.
We did manage to catch some a couple of yellowfin tuna that was amongst them, & also realized a few really small ones, hopefully the bigger ones will arrive in soon.
