Kadavu Mahi Mahi

Kadavu YFT

Fishing with local people is quite reasonable but you need your own gear that includes ropes for rod holders.

anyone have any fishing experience from fiji that might recommend a place to catch giant trevally??
No better place than the Great Astrolabe at the the time you'll be there-note though that if you fish with Fijians they kill everything in sight no such thing as C&R it's 100% Catch 'n Eat.

and possibly fish from the shore??
Easy to fish from shore with permission but the crystal clear water calls can make things tough.

Matava has a small skiff for Inshore if you're too shy to fish with locals
