Yeh iv heard that too about fishing rights . But on denarau its owned by the hotels and is private , locals are not allowed to fish there the barman was telling me , kayak rental people also said the same . Felt abit sorry for them really . I gave them one of my rods at the end of the holiday , just a cheapish shimano setup and a box full of lures .
As for rods , i took a rod tube with 2 rods in it both 2 piece . I think the tube is 1500mm long i think , its a cheap rouge one from bcf . I f€%ked up tho because we flew business over and my rod tube was not charged ( extra luggage ) but on the way back we flew economy and the extra luggage was not included ..200 fiji dollars to get it back .. robbing buggers. If it wasnt my t curve my dad bought me i would have left it ha .
I caught all my fish on lures up to 75mm
Most on 55mm surface lures
I was throwing a 100mm popper for ages and had no luck .
There are some huge fish knocking around , on my first session i saw a load of bait fish spook at the end of my rod tip about 3 meter out from where i was stood and a huge gt cruised past . My heart skipped a beat when i saw that thing lol . Never had it tho . Next time i go im taking small hooks to catch some livies ..... then ill get the bugger .
I went in august and it was hot but abit windy , when the wind picks up and i was out in the kayak it got abit murky from the sand being churned up by the tide and wind so i would take really flashy chrome lures with rattles in .. x-raps etc .
