Fishing in Vanuatu

John, Lucy and Bob do a lot of fishing in Sydney. Bob is even heavily involved in teaching children to fish in his spare time so they were keen to get into some fishing in Vanuatu. As you would have it things were a little slow. Day one we had a marlin climb on only to jump over the line and cut itself off.  Later in the day we caught a few small yellowfin, rainbow runner and a shark which we released.

Day 2 fishing in Vanuatu was a little better with 5 small yellowfin and a couple of bonito, a wahoo and Lucy caught her mahi-mahi however a little on the small size so it was decided to go and cast some poppers at the reefs closer to home. We had 4 bites and boated a blue fin travaley and a good G.T.which were both photographed and released.

Thanks for coming fishing in Vanuatu.

Fishing In Vanuatu

I have the good fortune to operate 2 charter boats here fishing in Vanuatu and we run them both for over 200 days a year. Some guest are great and some are even greater to work with.

One of the nicest people and avid fisherman that I have come across for a long time is Rob that I had the good fortune to take fishing recently. Rob was to go out on Wild Blue
for an 8 hour charter however we had a cruise boat arrive a day early so I upgraded him to Shogun and had the pleasure of taking him to the F.A.D for some trolling, jigging and some drift baiting. We had a great day, nothing overly big however a good variety. Rob went on to do another day and a half on Wild Blue and caught a good variety of fish. Unfortunately we didn’t get him a marlin but I’m sure he will be back to do some more fishing in Vanuatu.
This guy is the keenest, most patient fishing fanatic I have come across in years. Thanks for coming Rob. As his tee-shirt say’s it all “Work is for those that don’t know how to Fish”

Deep Sea Fishing In Vanuatu

With close to 100 cruise boat we take a lot of people out on game and reef fishing trips. On one particular cruise boat visit that was staying overnight in Vila which is rare Andy and Kate called in to our operation as we just returned home from a charter. They checked out our catch for the day and decided to do a 4 hour trip on Shogun the next day.

We took a leisurely run out to the F.A.D and got amongst the small yellow fin with jigs on light tackle and drifted a few baits about and caught some rainbow runners. Nothing overly big was caught but we all had a great fun morning and I saw Andy and Kate’s jigging skills improve dramatically.

Vanuatu Game Fishing Charters

When it comes to Vanuatu Game Fishing Charters there’s not a lot of people that do more than I. For those that know me, you would know that I don’t take holidays and I normally don’t let anyone skipper my pride and joy “Shogun”. Well recently I did both. Leanne and I had our second holiday together in 11 years which was well earnt.

I also left my number 2 skipper Sammy to steer a couple of charters and he did a great job. Sammy and Tommy did an 8 hour charter with the Hughes group and caught a nice marlin. As most would know we tag and release all our marlin however this on had a bad eye injury when it popped up beside the boat so it was decided to take the fish.  We normally give the fish to the hospital or prison in these cases so the fish is not wasted and we don’t gain commercially from caught marlin. This group also caught a great G.T and a few other fish to take home. Well done team. If you need further information on Vanuatu Game Fishing Charters don’t hesitate in getting in touch with us.

Vanuatu Reef Fishing

Vanuatu Reef Fishing can produce monsters. If you have a look through our videos of some of the trips we do there are some huge fish caught. What I find as a skipper its not all about the monsters, its about having a goods time . Sammy took Ryan MacKenzie and Liam Butterfield  out for a four hour charter and the boys had some fun  bottom bouncing on the reef.

I see a lot of people book a charter for 4 or 8 hours and want to take the family out and catch huge fish, this a lot of time requires us to head out wide  and remember you are out in the ocean and a lot of times it ends in tears. The family gets sea sick or bored and the younger anglers get over it all and the days not fun. For the younger anglers take them to the reef and hopefully the fish are co-operating and everyone will have a great day. The smile on these two is worth every moment of what we do. I love my job.
