Fishing Charters in and around Gizo.

ECONOMY fishing can be done on either a 8m Oceantech longboat powered by twin 100Hp four strokes or a 22 foot Yamaha longboat set up with a single 100Hp Yamaha, a shade canopy and centre console for walk around fishing. There is a good range of medium and light tackle from 25 kg down.

The Fishing
Most of the fishing is TROLLING, but POPPER casting and LIGHT SPINNING has recently gained enormous popularity

Poppering has produced Giant Trevally to 60 lbs, light lure casting has accounted for Spottail Bass up to 25 lbs. Jigging heavy metal has done well on a variety of fish including Dog Tooth Tuna and Yellow Fin Tuna to 45 kgs. Much bigger fish have been hooked jigging but have proved unstoppable on the lighter tackle.

There is no wasted time as the chain of reefs around Gizo Lagoon is right at our doorstep. Ideally no more than 3 people - 3 lines at any one time. This includes all fishing gear, gimble, harness, lures, local guide and boat as pictured. Please note, any lost lures are charged at cost (see price list of currently available lures at our office at the time of charter).


Big Game and Light Tackle Fishing

Welcome to the exciting world of game fishing in the Solomon Islands. Solomon Watersport offers the only deep sea game fishing in the country and the sport is still very much in its infancy in these fish rich waters. These fish do not know what a lure is and they bite hard and fight even harder.

Fish Galore: Game fish include Blue Marlin, Black Marlin, Broadbill, Sailfish, Yellowfin Tuna, Wahoo, Dolphin Fish, Rainbow Runner, Dogtooth Tuna, Spanish Mackerel, Giant Trevally, Coral Trout, Red Seabass, Jobfish, Sweetlip, Emperor and much more. For the flyfisherman there is Bonefish, Mangrove Jack and Spottail Bass amongst others.
