What kind of fish can I catch in Aitutaki?
During the winter months (Jun – Oct), you will be able to catch yellow fin tuna, Mahi Mahi, and Wahoo. During the Summer months (Dec – Mar) you can still expect to catch some Yellow Fin tuna, though they are not as plentiful. Giant Jack Trevallys can be taken by casting into the surf. All year round, you can try your luck fly casting for bonefish. Your best bet is to go with local expert guide Butch Leone. When booking a charter, make sure to ask beforehand if you would like to keep part of your catch, many charter operations do not offer this. Also, do not eat any trevally as they carry Ciguatera, which is a very nasty and untreatable form of fish poisoning.
