Bite Me is based at Matava Resort, a AAA rated 3&1/2 star eco-lodge on the South East side of Kadavu Island. Traditional thatched Fijian bures perch on the island's rainforrest covered slopes with private decks offering magnificent views out over the sheltered coral lagoons and Great Astrolabe Barrier reef.

Anglers can choose to work the mangroves, sheltered lagoons or reef edges for Giant Trevally, bluefin trevally, Narrow Barred (Spanish) mackerel, coral trout and a host of toothy reef predators or work the outer reef slopes for wahoo, yellowfin and Pacific Sailfish. Within a few miles of the barrier reef are deep ocean canyons where we find blue marlin, huge yellowfin tuna, mahi mahi and shortbill spearfish.

A seamount lies just 7 miles offshore with nutrient rich upwellings holding large concentrations baitfish and oceanic predators. An hour from the lodge, a remote coral atoll breaks the surface with sheer sides plummeting to depths of 6,000 feet.

Pacific sailfish National Fiji record, W-10kgAnother Pacific Sailfish Record fell to Bite Me last week and New Zealand angler Lyn Salvidge. Lyn and her husband Bruce spent two days aboard Bite Me having some fun with the wahoo and looking to take a ladies National Record back home to Auckland.

Happy to oblige, we introduced Bruce to his first ever wahoo and after a 15 minute fight on 30lb line class, Joe sank the gaff into a nice 60lb fish.

Not a bad start for your first ever wahoo.
