Knowing how to choose a fishing charter is the single most important part of any fishing trip. 

Brent Cameron shares with us purchasing a local business, Marlin Queen Fishing Charters, and why he left the city life of New Zealand and moved to Rarotonga with his 15 year old son William.

We also discussed living on a tropical island surrounded by blue water, and that our target species are Yellowfin tuna, Wahoo, Mahi-mahi and Marlin.  Running lines trolling and with all of these fish being pelagic, you are constantly on the move. 

We then chatted about F.A.D's positioned around Rarotonga. A fish aggregating (or aggregation) device (FAD) is a man-made object used to attract ocean going pelagic fish such as marlin, tuna and mahi-mahi (dolphin fish). They usually consist of buoys or floats tethered to the ocean floor with concrete blocks. Many species of fish and different types of bait fish gather around FADs.

Lots of great passion and fishing energy in this episode. Enjoy!
