Capt. Ilai runs trips out of Nadi aboard a 26' Mako center console. These waters are known for GTs and Mahi Mahi and he will show you how to catch them, whether you're trolling or spearfishing. With years of experience, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!
