Archive for September, 2007

Let’s get up close and personal with our Captain Charlie Tui. Charlie has been skippering out of Port Vila for the last eighteen years and has many repeat clients that love only to fish with him. Charlie skippers Horizon on our live aboard charters and often takes his clients to his home island of Paama. He knows the outer islands like no one else here and can take you to the most remote place to fish. Charlie also skippers Reel Capture for day charters out of Port Vila. Charlie lives in Port Vila with his wife and 6 kids!

Captain Charlie Tui has added another record to the collection whilst out on a live aboard charter in mid September with the Morris family from Tasmania.

Edward landed a 27 Kg Short Bill Spearfish on 37 Kg line class. Well done Edward, This was also the Vanuatu All Tackle Record!

Stuart fished with us on board Reel Capture for 5 days in September in the hunt for some rather big fish. On the Marlin side, the fishing was very quiet by Vanuatu standards but on our last day we headed up to Nguna to see what we could find up North. We ended up seeing 8 free jumping Sailfish, hooked a lot of extra large Wahoo and got blown away by some rather large Dogtooth Tuna around the 50-70 Kg mark. They managed to make mince meat out of 80 lb tackle. If you are after these amazing fighters, then Nguna is the spot! Be prepared to be blown away as they are awesome to try and catch!

Captain Richard has added a new 15 Kg Men’s Skipjack Tuna to the record books for angler Richard Fogarty on the 4th of September. This rather large skipjack tuna tipped the scales at 10 Kg. Congratulations to Richard as this was his first fishing trip and first record!
