17254686

After two days of no fishing due to foul weather, anglers in the 2016 Steinlager I’a Lapo’a Gamefishing Tournament  will be out today trying to make up for lost time.

So far lots of marlin and yellow fin have been caught as well as select catch and release fish.

The fish tales being shared around the bar by fishermen and women from Samoa, American Samoa and New Zealand, according to those within ear shot, have been tall.


Current standings have Sepp Steffany’s Alia in 1st place, the Fu’a II out of Apia is holding a strong second.

The Fu’a II, owned by Vaughn Simpson won the tournament last year.

This year’s I’a Lapoa tournament has been the biggest so far with over 20 boats ranging from 16 feet to 65 feet in length.

Best of luck to all the participants who have come here from Apia, New Zealand and even as far as Australia.
