The cooler water that heralds the start of the winter wahoo and sailfish season moved in later than normal leading to a patchy June season start.

The big wahoo packs hovered on offshore seamounts causing somewhat of a headache for marlin anglers but now the season is in full swing with numerous wahoo along the Kadavu Island Great Astrolabe Barrier Reef slopes.

A reasonable 'hoo!

Pacific Sailfish numbers are building along the barrier reef with fish averaging about 90lbs offering excellent sport on the lighter line classes.

Is this 'hoo big enough for u???

The best wahoo so far this month was an 80 pounder but we should soon see plenty over the magical 100lb mark.

The Winter yellowfin run has been a little thin but there are plenty of juvenile skipjack tuna and mahi mahi around the island, good news for blue marlin enthusiasts. Expect to see some nice black marlin released in the next few months with a few big striped marlin in the mix.

Good tag and release!

A late season start usually means a late season finish so we should still see lots of wahoo and sail action well into October.
