Gday guys just booked a holiday in Rarotonga and will be staying at Palm Grove for 11 nights over September 2012...
Im a keen lure and fly fisho and have fished many places and would like to know what the fishing is like around or near the Palm Grove? Are there many landbased options where we can walk the flats and sight cast fish (bones, trevs) etc or are they any reefs that you can wade out to and cast poppers, hards and plastics? We will prob venture over to Aitutaki at some stage for bones with a guide, but would like to know about the actual main island?
Cheers guys
Mitch
Gday guys just booked a holiday in Rarotonga and will be staying at Palm Grove for 11 nights over September 2012... hi mitch, welcome to the forum, some answers in red What type of fish can you expect to catch, im guessing trevally species and a variety of other reefies yes Also who would be the best charter to head out with (sportfishing) popper fishing GT's etc, casting stickbaits to tuna rather that just go out and troll around in circles for 5 hours like some of the companys may do. take your own gear as you are doing, none of the charters have much casting gear and none of them specialise or do this type of fishing regularly. have a walk at the wharf and have a chat to the different operators, tell them what you want to do. you will need to do a private charter or a charter with a smaller boat as the others will be in peak tourist season and will be trolling with group charters mainly for wahoo and tuna. Any info would be greatly appreciated no worries Cheers guys PS: gear ill be taking will include stella 18000 outfit with 80lb saltiga 4500 outfit a light 20-30lb spin outfit a 10lb outfit and a 7weight fly outfit!!! good selection of gear, not much available here in terms of lures, gear, tackle etc, only really limited game fishing gear at a few shops. Again any info would be great... Thanks again Mitch |
