Samoa

[Anthony Robinson]

Hi Everyone

Thanks for a great forum, really informative, I have learnt a lot so far.

I have just received confirmation that I will be heading to Samoa for work for 12 months starting in may this year.

Has anyone fished for GT's there ??

Can anyone recommend a local charter company to head out with when I get there. I am staying in the capital Apia.

I'll be there for a year so I intend on getting to know the place and the people, and hopefully get a heap of fishing and surfing in.

Any help/advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Cheers

Anthony

Anthony, I was hoping someone else would respond to you as my knowledge of that area is poor, to say the least.

Samoa is not a location which seems to come up at all in GT discussions. My understanding is that the islands have been quite heavily exploited by commercial fisheries.

I am sure you will find some GTs there but I doubt they will be in the numbers and size of what we get in our own waters. Maybe you should get in touch with a couple of the operators there and you can also check it out and let the rest of us know what it is like!

Hi Anthony,I am also working in Samoa but will be in and out.Already looking for some spots to try(from the rocks/shore). Charter boats are expensive, out of my range.I will mostly fish from shore whenever i can.Heading back there in two weeks time.Would like to catch up with somebody who like fishing too.When you get there contact me on +6857748319.I am based in Apia too.There is a few trailer boats to so maybe we can arrange a day out with one of them.
