Captain
Ilai Khalek

Member since February 2024 Nadi, Fiji
Background
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!

Snorkelling trip not a great fishing trip

VERIFIED   6 Hour Trip โ€“ Unwind Day on April 3, 2024
Not really enjoy fishing. Coz I booked bottom fishing. But it just trolling. However, we enjoyed snorkelling at sand bar.
