Fiji Fishing Report: December 2010 - Marlin & Yellowfin Action

http://gamefishingfiji.blogspot.com/2010/12/december-2010-fishing-report-part-2.html Anglers Craig and Nick continued their fishing adventures aboard Bite Me starting off day 3 with the medium tackle trolling gear. With a whole variety of species around at the moment we were hedging our bets with marlin lures on 50lb stand-up gear on the riggers and lighter tackle set off the corners trolling Halco Laser Pros for yellowfin and dolphinfish. First up, a dinner and a nice tastey looking Dolly for Craig Then the Mold Craft Wide Range on the long rigger got swiped at...and then grabbed, loading up with a mystery fish that didn't jump at first. 30 seconds later we found out what it was when a surprise out of season Pacific Sailfish began leaping about behind the boat. A little out-classed on 50lb gear Nick soon had the sail boatside for a Tag shot, photos and quick release. A lovely little Pacific Sailfish around 35kg A quiet afternoon trolling so we swung into the reef to have a quick popper at the GTs and get limbered up for the next day of full-on GT Popping....
