Fish Species
Due to the unique geographical nature of Christmas Island, Shorefire Charters can drift along the steep dropoffs as you cast poppers for Giant Trevally, whilst at the same time another angler can be fishing for Yellowfin Tuna on the other side of the boat.
There is a wonderful variety of species commonly caught at Christmas Island, but Mark likes to focus his charter fishing for Giant Trevally, Yellowfin Tuna, Dogtooth Tuna, Wahoo and Sailfish.
