Drop lines into the deep blue channels surrounding Fulaga where wahoo, yellowfin tuna, and giant trevally patrol in near-virginal numbers. A private charter from the village boats puts you on some of the least-fished blue water in the Pacific.
What to expect
A local fisherman-guide with intimate knowledge of the Lau channels takes your private group out through the lagoon pass into deep ocean water within minutes. Trolling lures are set for wahoo and mahi-mahi along the reef edge; switching to jigging rigs targets giant trevally in the blue-water column. The skipper reads the current and bird activity to position over fish — a technique honed over generations. Any catch can be cleaned at the beach for the village to share, a gesture of respect that will be warmly received.
Good to know
Pre-arrange through your ToursByLocals guide well in advance — village boat availability is limited. Bring seasickness medication if prone; the outer channels can have an ocean swell. Sun protection (shirt, hat, SPF 50) is essential on open water. Confirm the half-day schedule fits within your port window.
