RSSThe fish that are mainly targeted on Niue are Wahoo, Tuna and Mahimahi because they are found within 500 metres of shoreline.
Moreover, while fishing, enjoy rugged coastal scenery and the varied marine life including dolphins, whales, turtles, flying fish and sea snakes.
The Wahoo or Paala as its known locally are the speedsters of the sea and have been timed at 78km per hr when striking the bait. So hookups must be instantaneous as they have the ability to both cut down and then reject bait or lure in a split second.
Tuna are often caught just on daybreak but can be enticed to strike at anytime of day when they are on the bite. Mahimahi are difficult to land and control in the boat and usually hunt in pairs of male and female or in small schools around floating objects.
