    What an absolutely fantastic experience! Everyone had an incredible day out on the water, bringing home 30 beautiful fish, all filleted and ready to enjoy, with another 20 or so fish caught and released back into the ocean! The captain and deckhand were extremely knowledgeable, experienced and professional, making the whole experience thoroughly enjoyable. An amazing day on the water, plenty of fish and some wonderful memories made! We would absolutely recommend this charter to anyone looking for a great fishing experience in Airlie Beach. We'll definitely be back again!

    Mine and my girlfriends first time sea fishing and her first time all together, we both caught nice fish with stacey grabbing the largest between us, which was filleted for us and taken home to put on the Barbie. Skipper was great and helpful for all ensuring we had a good time. This was our favourite day of our trip and we had done all of the main tourist attractions.

    We tried trolling for big game initially then switched to bottom bashing reef fishing. We caught over a dozen reef fish of at least 6 different species. The crew handled everything from snacks and drinks to baiting hooks, tackle and moving the boat to maximise the fish catching. The crew also shared local Fijian facts and history with us and gave us all the tips and tricks to ensure we caught fish.

    From the initial enquiry, through booking and organising transfers from the resort, Odette couldn’t have made the process any easier. The time on the boat with Tess and Maika was exactly what we hoped for. Great blokes with nearly 50 years of experience between them they made the most of pretty rough seas by finding good locations and getting everyone on board some of the nicest fish we’ve seen as well as giving me the best “one that got away” story with a massive GT smashing my lure near the boat, almost pulling me overboard and bending my heavy duty hook like it was spaghetti as well as exploring and showing us the amazing scenery in between bites. The lunch that was provided was homemade and delicious and the spot we anchored to eat it was even better! We’ll definitely be returning to catch up with the boys and to hopefully add the catch. Vinaka guys, see you next time.

    A Private Sea Trip Worth Repeating – Highly Recommended

    Tõlge inglise keelde: This was our second trip with the Aye Aye Maritime crew. The entire team was exceptionally kind, provided very precise guidance, and gave their all to ensure the sea trip was memorable and that the goal was achieved. Once again, we were very satisfied. We will definitely come back and continue to recommend them to everyone who wants a memorable and experience-rich private sea journey!

Spangled Emperor fishing targets a colorful, hard-hitting reef fish prized by many anglers. These fish live around coral and rubble, where they hunt crabs, shrimp, and small fish. They strike fast, dive for cover, and taste great. That mix of action and table fare makes them a favorite goal for reef trips.

You can catch Spangled Emperor while reef fishing or bottom fishing with bait. Simple rigs with sinkers and a tough leader work well near coral. Fresh strips of fish, squid, or octopus are reliable baits. Light spinning tackle also shines in shallower spots with soft plastics, metal jigs, and stickbaits. Keep pressure on after the hit to turn them from the reef.

Expect quick bites, strong runs, and smart attempts to break you off on structure. This is fun, hands-on fishing that suits beginners, families, and seasoned anglers. Captains often provide tackle and bait, so you can focus on the fight. Wear sun protection, bring a hat and water, and pack a camera for the colors. If you plan to keep fish, bring a small cooler for the ride home.

Before your trip, check local rules for licenses, permits, seasons, and harvest limits. Regulations can change by region and reef, including marine protected areas. Follow current guidance, handle fish with care, and keep only what is allowed and needed.
