WOW! Nevagivup

Jul 30, 2016 Port Vila

Nevagivup has been on a roll, having some great fishing. On the back of a 80Kg Blue marlin which was caught on 8Kg line with angler AJ from outback QLD. AJ also landed some nice Yellowfin Tuna on 15Kg line too! Captain Charles Wheeler has been having sensational fishing for Black Marlin, Sailfish, some big Yellowfin Tuna along with some nice Wahoo. Fly fishing the last few days with Lance from Tasmania, they teased up Black Marlin, Sailfish and Wahoo. Today they tagged & released a 40Kg Sailfish by IGFA regs on 10Kg tippet. Congratulations Lance, a great fish! Thank you to Russ Housby who was the fly fishing guide, awesome job. Both boats out again tomorrow, bring it on!!

Amazing Fishing

Apr 26, 2016 Port Vila

It is hard to decide where to go at the moment as the inshore fishing has been fantastic with plenty of Black Marlin, Wahoo and the odd Sailfish. Offshore has seen giant Yellowfin Tuna and Blue Marlin, take your pick!

Reel Capture Cruise Ship Charter

Oct 28, 2015 Port Vila

Reel Capture ventured out this morning for a 4 hour charter from the cruise ship. They ended up with a Wahoo and tagging and releasing a Blue Marlin. Well done Captain Richard!

Had a half day out with Captain Charles and his local crew. The crew kept us entertained with changing tackle and lures in a professional manner. We caught mai mai went trolling for sailfish and marlin but no luck there my husband and 16 and 17 yo boys loved it and I did to in the end but I am a fair weather fisherman and once I got used being in the swell which apparently was fairly sloppy that day I didn’t mind too much and it was great to see the kids catch a big fish.
