Fishing

Reefs that are alive and busy…

.

There is a good range of medium and light tackle from 25 kg down. Most of the fishing is TROLLING, but POPPER casting and LIGHT SPINNING has recently gained enormous popularity.

There is no wasted time as the chain of reefs around Gizo Lagoon is right at our doorstep. Ideally no more than 3 people  3 lines at any one time.

This includes all fishing gear, gimble, harness, lures, local guide and boat as pictured. Please note, any lost lures are charged at cost plus 20%.

Fishing equipment consists of Abu Carcia 50lbs reels, Okuma 50TLs – there is alimited choice of lures – if you are a keen fisherman, please bring some of your favourites with you.!

For casting, please bring your own favourite gear.

Many Blue fin travelly have been caught from the jetty at SB Bar.

Poppering has produced Giant Travelly to 60 lbs, light lure casting has accounted for Spottail Bass up to 25 lbs.

Jigging heavy metal has done well on a variety of fish including Dog Tooth Tuna and Yellow Fin Tuna to 28 kgs. Much bigger fish have been hooked jigging but have proved unstoppable on the lighter tackle.

Trolling has accounted for Marlin to 320 kgs, Sailfish to 68 kgs and Yellow Fin to 72 kgs amongst the bigger pelagic. Closer in, Spanish Mackerel, Dog Tooth Tuna and Great Barracuda to 20 kgs are regular catches.
