“While working as a professional crewman and now making fishing television shows, I’ve been pretty fortunate to have experienced some of the best sport fishing destinations on the planet, each being special for a particular type of fish, but to my mind nowhere has such a wide range of quality game and sport fish species as Vanuatu. On a 6 day live aboard trip with Ocean Blue we visited reefs, seamounts, canyons and islands between Port Vila and Santo and encountered blue and black marlin up to 500lb, dozens of yellowfin tuna up to 130lb, dogtooth tuna up to 80lb, countless big wahoo, giant and bluefin trevally as well as a whole range of reef species that climbed on our flies and soft plastic baits. For variety it’s unbeatable and the team at Ocean Blue are the guys to see if you want to experience everything these remote and beautiful islands have to offer.
