The early 6am start didn’t help. Unfortunately despite the efforts of the skipper who covered lots of sea miles the fish were not about
Have to say the lack of fish is starting to be a regular occurrence here in Fiji through overfishing and long- lining and the charter costs continue to increase

We travelled for an hour in the boat and then trolled for two hours without a strike . We then bottom fished for an hour without catching anything then trolled again for an hour without a strike and then travelled back to port for an hour.
The reels for trolling were big game fishing reels not sport fishing reels and then for bottom fishing they gave us plastic hand reels where the line would cut your fingers if you hooked a decent fish. The crew were not good with English so there was little conversation. They also charged us for snacks which were a packet of chips of which one of the crew ate more than we did. He also ate some of the food we brought with us
No photos to load as we didn’t catch anything
