Nauru is located in the Pacific Ocean, 42kms from the equator, and over 3000 kms
form its nearest neighbour ( Banabar ) and some 4000 kms from Melbourne. With a
landmass of some 21 sq kms it is one of the smallest nations on earth.
Nauru is situated in the heart of some excellent fishing grounds, with water depths
plunging to 2,000 ft just off the edge of the islands shores and reefs, making the
region very attractive for the major game fish species, and anglers wanting to catch
them.
 The beauty of Nauru and its fishing grounds, is that game fish such as Marlin, Sailfish,
Wahoo, Yellowfin Tuna, Dolphin fish and many more can be caught just minutes from
your accommodation which is also only a few minutes from the marina.
Nauru can be fished from April through to December, with most species being readily
available during that time.
Unique in many ways Nauru can be very proud of its high rating in the Worlds weight
lifting records. With a population of around 12,000 as well as being so remote, its
weight lifting sports people are truly amazing.
For those interested in Australian Rules Football, it is a religion in Nauru. Many
children are named after some of the games greats and it is a must to witness a
game ( or even training ) on this tiny South Pacific Island.

Guide: The skipper and crew have many years of fishing these waters, and have
seen many of the locals hook and catch huge Tuna and Marlin only minutes from the
marina in their tiny boats. The fishing potential is enormous and just waiting to
happen. Marlin within 200 metres from shore is a fact and to experience the island
as a backdrop while fighting a Billfish has to be experienced to be believed.
