Escape your world. Discover ours VANUATU ISLANDS The Big Fish Capital of the South Pacific
The Lure of the Big Blue Pump, pump, bang! Dogtooth on! All rods buckled over a quadruple hook-up! Brent Delaney Modern Fishing With its deep, fish-rich waters, Vanuatu offers some of the best game fishing for blue marlin on the planet. Vanuatu s shoreline drops off steeply due to its volcanic geography, providing incredibly deep waters close to shore the perfect environment for calm water blue marlin game fishing! With numerous underwater canyons, seamounts, drop offs and FADs, the game fishing action in Vanuatu is non-stop and exciting. However, there is more than just blue marlin on offer; black marlin, yellowfin tuna, dogtooth tuna and XOS sailfish are just some of the other game species that are regularly encountered throughout this archipelago.
Big Fish Paradise In addition to the phenomenal game fishing available, the range of sport fish make Vanuatu a truly world class angling destination. The inshore reefs and FADs all hold a wide variety of sport fish that will put your lighter gear to the test. Anglers have a chance to tackle species such as wahoo, mahi mahi, dogtooth and yellowfin tuna, red bass, coral trout and GTs just to name a few. For anglers who wish to mix their game fishing with some pelagic action, we offer lodge based adventures and extended live on board expeditions, giving you access to untouched areas throughout the islands. Think seamounts that have never seen jigs; contour lines that have never been trolled; reef passages that have never seen poppers... Brent Delaney Modern Fishing
