Im in Luganville on Santo (I live here ) last week was crappy weather for us too but Wednesday showed signs of improvment and it was enough for me to head out with my brother and cousin just for a Reef bashing session.
Only managed a Coral trout around 4kgs mark + a handfull of other reef species sweet lips, red throats, cods etc. also got smoked a few times by some bigger fish, didn't even get to see what the monsters were But we did managed to pull up a Leatherjacket of some sort ... took a pic of it and returned it.
We only had a half day trip planned so stuck in close, nonetheless a good half a day spent on the water and not at work
We also saw a pair of whales 30 meters from where we were which was a pleasant sight, but I think that ended our run with the fish
The weather turned sour around noon anyway wind came up and it started to rain, so no big loss
The photo shows the leathery and my cousin. You can see the weather we had that day.
But ... besides from that day of decent weather we have been getting hit everyday with 15-20knot southerlys . So I haven't heard of any of the bigger boats going out and getting anything, which makes me jealous of the fish you got put onto by the crew of "In Deep"
Should be getting my Spheros back from Tony at Fishfinders by Friday this week, hopefully weather plays nice and I might be headed out with a mate (on his "bigger" boat) to go for a jig
NB: sorry for the long post
