A tough few days fishing for Grant from Australia. Pretty mediocre weather meant churned up water and a slow GTbite on the poppers.
Offshore the blues that were around have moved off, as have the first of the summer run of yellowfin.
My friends fishing off Nadi however tell me the summer run of yellowfin and marlin is now well into their area and heading this way so we should see plenty of action soon...
With the kind assistance of the New South Wales Department of Primary Industries (NSW DPI) we have started a programme here around Kadavu Island to Tag and Release primarily Dogtooth Tuna but also some Giant Trevally caught and released aboard our gamefishing boats Bite Me and Tease Me.
