Fiji Islands, South Pacific, enjoy a whole variety of sport fish species, from reef dwelling coral trout to oceanic blue marlin. The catches vary according to the season and fishing place. Basically, there are three types of fishing - beach, reef, and boat or deep-sea fishing.
Deep-sea fishing is fishing that involves trolling deep waters with large fishing tackle. Compared to other types of fishing, this type of fishing requires more equipment, including more line, rods and lures. Rods, reels, bait and tackles are the fishing equipment generally required for deep-sea fishing, and specialized fishing boats are needed for angling, as well as local guides.
Basically, there are two types of deep-sea fishing techniques - trolling and bottom fishing. The fishing technique is chosen, based on the location of the fish. Trolling techniques require keeping the fishing boat at a constant speed of six knots. The bait used is usually a fishing lure that is drawn on a line through the water slightly below the surface of the water. In bottom fishing, the boat anchors in deep water and hooks charged with lures are dropped to the bottom of the sea.
