Una delle attivita' piu' famose che si possono fare alle Fiji e' la pesca sportiva. In questo articolo vorrei introdurre questo argomento che approfondiro' sicuramente in futuro dato che c'e' molto da dire in proposito.
oggi parlero' di alcune delle piu' avvincenti e combattive specie di pesci che si posso pescare nei mari delle Fiji, che metodi sono piu' comunemente usati per queste specie e quando si possono trovare questi pesci nei mari delle Fiji (specialmente intorno all'isola di Kadavu).
