Fiji has some great spots for game fishing and a number of excellent fishing charters based out of Denarau Marina in Nadi and at Pacific Harbour along the south coast of Viti Levu.

The deep channels around the rich reefs of Beqa and Kadavu in the Southern Islands are one of the best spots for Spanish Mackerel, Marlin, Yellow Fin Tuna, Trevally and Dolphin Fish. The area is assessable by staying on the tiny island of Nagigia right in the Southern Islands at Nagigia Island Resort which offers deep sea fishing or from the south coast of Viti Levu, the main island, where several day charters are available at Pacific Harbour (home of the country's game fishing tournament in August).

Another excellent fishing area is off the north coast of Taveuni, particularly along the 40km reef alongside Matangi Island and Laucala. This offers great casting for the big fish. Matangi Island Resort offers game fishing trips to its guests.

Another excellent area for game fishing is around the southern Mamanuca Group. This popular holiday destination is geared up for tourism and some of the resorts offer their own sports fishing boats including Tokoriki Island Resort. There are several larger game fishing charters operating from Denarau Marina, just outside of Nadi on Viti Levu (just 15 minutes by boat to the Mamanucas) and from Musket Cove Resort in the heart of the Mamanuca Group.
