Sigatoka Fishing Charters

The start of summer in Fiji, which can be a bit strange for non-locals, and also a great time to use poppers and stickbaits to get GT’s.

Usually the hottest time of the year, get ready for very hot and humid weather, but nice and clear waters all around.

The water temperature is still in the mid 80’s and will remain as such up until April. This is the time to fish weedlines for Mahi Mahi and Billfish.

As the summer draws to a close, there’s still time to do very productive Tuna fishing. You can spot birds hunting for Tuna to make your job easier.

Depending on the weather conditions and sheer luck, you might be in for some warm weather still. If so, use it to find very big Blue Marlin.

This is when winter is due to start if you can even call it such. A water temperature of 70 degrees on the low end is still a good number to work with.

Sailfish season is on, and it’s gonna stay that way for the next two to three months. Don’t be surprised if you hook one while trolling for Wahoo.

The biggest problem during the winter months are SE trade winds, but in such circumstances you can fish the Astrolabe barrier reef.

In Fiji, any time is a good time to fish. Be it using skip bait for Blue Marlin, or trolling for Mahi Mahi, October is as good as time as any.

Schools of Spanish Mackerel can usually be found during November. With a captain who knows his trolling, you can catch up to a few dozen.

December is when deepwater jigging gets really good. The offshore reefs and wrecks are home to many a Dogtooth Tuna this time of year.
