After several successful BlueWater Readers' Trips in the past, the pressure was on to maintain the high level of professionalism, and of course, to catch plenty of fish during our latest trip to the Island of Kadavu in southern Fiji.

Finding locations to conduct successful BlueWater Readers' Trips is not as easy as it sounds. We always make sure we fish the area and check out boats and accommodation before we offer a package trip to our readers.
One visit to Matava Resort made our choice of accommodation an easy one. This small but idyllic resort with its picture postcard setting was the perfect location to base a trip.

And so it was. July 2005 saw us back to Fiji with eight BlueWater trippers and two partners in tow. The lucky people who joined us on this occasion were Matthew O'Neil from Victoria, Shane Coles, Brett Graham, Brett Riley, Shaun Johnstone and Dean Baudendistel from New South Wales, and Mark Winter and Bruce Nolan from the Northern Territory. Shane was accompanied by his partner Jewel Penaflor and Brett brought his fiancée Rebecca Waters.
