Fishing On Searov.

26th October.

We haven't managed to go out this week, so here are a few pictures that were taken on one of the charters that we had a couple of weeks ago.

	We had a bronze whaler shark on, & luckily it snapped the line, just at the boat.
	We ended up with a few Mahi mahi, yellow fin tuna, a very nice rainbow runner & a couple of barracuda.

More On Koro Trip

4th October


This is another picture taken at Koro Island. This shows the strip of beach to the right of the little village, that our guests visited.



Here is Terry coaching Michelle, on how to bring the fish in closer, so he can gaff it.





Job well done Michelle, that is a nice Mahi mahi.

School Of Trevally

Sunday 14th October

We were down at the boat about 5.30am, to get ready for our charter.

	It was a beautiful clear morning, not many people around at this hour.
	While waiting for our guests to arrive, to go out fishing, we watched this school of Trevally.
	They were circling underneath the boat.

Trip To Koro Island

Sunday 4th October.

We had a week of strong winds & heavy rain, so when we were asked to take a family from Canada, to visit friends on one of the villages on Koro Island, we were a bit hesitant.

Come Sunday morning, the wind had dropped, & the seas were a lot calmer.
Koro is about 30 miles to the south east of Savusavu. It used to be a big copra producing island, but since the drop in the price of copra, a few plantations have been cut up, & sold off, as freehold blocks, to International buyers.

On reaching Koro, the family were picked up by their host for the day. We stayed on the boat & enjoyed the beautiful calm clear waters, of the bay we were anchored in. While waiting for the family to return from the village, we were entertained by a couple of Turtles, that kept coming up to the surface, then diving back down to hide under the rocks.

It was truly another wonderful day on the water. Even better, on the way home we put a couple of rods out as we approached the Koro Sea Mount & caught 3 nice Mahi mahi. Now we have dinner!!

The trip to Koro Island from Savusavu takes us 2 hrs one way, so with the 4hrs waiting, it was a long day. We were glad to get home for a shower.

Rodney's Wahoo

30th September.

We have been busy this week anti flouling the hull of Searov, as there aren't any places in Savusavu to pull the boat out, we have to beach her, wait for the tide to go out, paint her, than refloat her at high tide.




We had very high tides this week, so it was the best time to do this job, it usually takes us 2 days as we can only do, one side at a time.




These photos were sent to me by a couple from Australia, who we had taken out in June of this year.

We caught a lot of Wahoo this year but also lost a lot of lures.

More Photos of the Whales

23rd September 2007

Just a few more photos of the whales, that we saw on our last fishing charter.

Wish my camera was able to just keep taking photos , there was so much that I could have got!!

Fishing Charter turns into Whale watching

21st September 2007

We had a fishing charter this morning from a couple staying at one of the local resorts.
We started out just after 7.00am, it was a beautiful clear morning, but we knew it would be very hot later as there wasn't a cloud in the sky.

Out there, nothing was working in the usual spot, so went towards, what I thought were fish breaking the surface. It wasn't fish, just big pods of Whales & it stretched as far as the eye could see, they seemed to be in groups of 5-7 but just everywhere.
We did manage to catch 5 Mahi mahi & skipjack tuna but the sight of all those whales was really what made the day.
