The fishing in Vanuatu is best it’s been for ages.

  • Game Fishing, Vanuatu

The weather has been very ordinary for over a month now but for the brave that have ventured out the fishing has been excellent.

We are seeing good numbers of yellow fin up to 35kg with the odd one even bigger. These have been turning up mainly around the F.A.D's with a few schools appearing in open water. Wahoo and mahi-mahi are back in good numbers but the wahoo have been a little on the small side.

The Mahi-mahi have been good sizes with a few 16 to 17kg units being caught. Sail fish are turning up in as close as Devils Point with one of our good days turning up two, one at the point and one at the channel markers five minutes for our jetty. A few marlin are being caught in the 60 to 80 kg range and once again not very far from home.

For upcoming events the Vanuatu Marlin Classic is to be held this year from Port Vila Harbour on the 21st – 24th August with registration on the 19th August. Boats can elect to fish any three of the four days. Major prize to be entry to the Costa Rica World Offshore Fishing Championships in 2016 and there are plenty of sponsors offering other prizes as well.
