Fiji 3 Day Gamefishing Tournament Returns



I am delighted to report that the Fiji International Game Fishing Association will be running their annual 3 day Tournament in September !
This Tournament is based out of Pacific Harbour so very convenient for visiting international anglers and game boats from Denarau, Suva and maybe even Kadavu ! From Pacific Harbour anglers can fish The Golden Triange - an area bounded by Bequ Lagoon, Vatuleilei island and Kadavu Island - generally recognised as the best gamefishing area in Fiji including sites such as The Golden Mile, The Washing Machine and Cakaulekaleka....
Special accommodation rates are being arranged at Club Oceanus, Uprising Resort and The Pearl Hotel. Currently being discussed is the possibility of some charterboats starting the first day from their home bases....
Great to see this prestigeous Tournament up and running again !
Here is some basic info :
