Tease Me is the perfect platform for popper casting for GTs and jigging for dogtooth tuna around Kadavu island’s coral reef systems and barrier reef slopes. With a top speed of about 25kts, she will have you fishing within minutes of departure from the resort.
A normal day aboard Tease Me consists of an early breakfast and a morning fishing session. She then usually returns to the resort for lunch, followed by an afternoon of further fishing, returning to the resort aroud 5.00pm.
She has a crew of one and can take up to three guest anglers but is best suited to two anglers Popper Casting. On board are fish finder, GPS, VHF radio and full safety gear.

The Praise
“it has been well documented in fishing magazines that these islands not only produce an amazing variety of tropical gamefish, but also that the fish seem to come in exceptionally large sizes”
“…it seems the wahoo only come in two sizes – big and bigger !”
“Our overnight stay at the pretty Matava Resort was a wonderful experience and here traditional thatched Fijian bures set among the lush hilly rainforest offer magnificent views of the lagoon and fringing reef”: BlueWater Magazine
