Open Water Trolling — visual story

  1. Six hours offshore. The longest charter we run, and the one that goes furthest out.
  2. Pre-dawn launch. 5:00am, ice loaded, heavy tackle rigged on the way out.
  3. Open-ocean transit. Past the reef line into blue water with the swell running under you.
  4. Trolling setup. The spread goes out and stays out for four hours. Walu, trevally, mahi mahi and yellowfin tuna are all on the cards.
  5. Deep-water action. When it happens it happens fast. The crew clears the other lines and you work the fish.
  6. The long run back. FJD 2,500 for one to four guests.

The day

Six hours offshore. Four of them with lines in the water.

This is the serious one. Six hours, a 5:00am start, and four solid hours of trolling out where the water goes black and the bottom stops mattering.

The run out is longer and the sea state is bigger than on our coastal charter. In exchange you are fishing water that holds larger pelagics, and there is nobody else on it.

Sandwiches are on board because you will want them. Reef fishing can be added on the way back if there is time and appetite.

Best for
Experienced anglers who want offshore water and a full session.
Pace
Demanding. Long day, open sea, working deck.

Questions

Before you book

What might we catch?

Offshore around Nadi typically means mahi mahi, wahoo, tuna and trevally. Nobody can promise a fish — anyone who does is selling something.

How rough is it?

Rougher than the coastal charter. If the forecast is bad we move the trip rather than run it.

Can we add reef fishing?

Yes, on request and if the timing works on the day.
