Tonga is an archipelago of 170 tropical islands scattered across a 425 km stretch of the South Pacific just 775 km south east of Fiji. Fewer than 40 of the islands are inhabited. It is the island group of Vava’u in the north of Tonga where its islands rise from the iridescent waters that surround the emerald green islands and their white sandy beaches, that the fishing is at its best.
Troll Vava’u’s crystal clear waters for Blue, Black or Striped Marlin, Sailfish, Mahimahi, big Yellow Fin Tuna and Wahoo. Spear fish or cast jigs or poppers for predators like Blue Fin and Giant Trevally. Virtually all species of tropical fish frequent Tongan waters, and with its vast areas of reef structure, drop offs, canyons and sea mounts, as well as several offshore F.A.D’s, every angler can experience a smorgasbord of tropical fishing. Saltwater fly-fishing is also becoming popular.
