Is there a best time of the year to fish in Fiji? If you come here to surf, winter offers the best waves. Do weather patterns lead to a preferred season for fishing? Is there a time when you won’t enjoy fishing near Namotu Island Resort?
Come When You Please For Great Fishing In Fiji
The truth is that good fishing is available in Fiji year round. There may be days when the weather is stormy and not safe for boats, but no season is ‘bad’ in this season-less paradise. While there are some fish that are more plentiful at certain times, you can always depend on the potential of a good catch. The currents created between islands, along with the structure of reefs and the depth, provide the ideal environment for a large variety of fish.
As any fisherman will tell you, there are no guarantees you will catch anything. The secret is going out at times of day when fish are feeding, often when the tide is either rising or falling. As many a Fiji fisherman has quipped, “The best time of day to catch a fish is when you catch one.”
Meet Your Fiji Fishing Goals
If your goals in fishing are to catch something delicious for dinner and have a great relaxing time in a beautiful environment, you will never be disappointed. Whether you opt for shore or spear fishing, without a boat or trawling in shallow water on the Duck, you can look forward to a pleasant day.
If you are a sport fisherman with your sights set on a feisty mackerel, tuna, or marlin, deep sea charters in Fiji will take you to waters known for these fish. Here the thrill of the chase – and perhaps a note in the record books – are what you seek and you may catch and release it after tagging it and capturing it on film for later bragging rights.
If you are looking to book a fishing charter Lunasea is one of the top fishing boats that most resorts and groups book. For more information about Fiji Fishing Charters and Lunasea go to: http://www.fijifishingcharters.com/
