There is a very good tackle shop on the dual carriageway to Sanur. About 400mts past the roundabout by the river. It is set back so easy to miss. The owner seems to know a bit about the local fishing.
Not too sure about Bali as a big fish destination though I did catch a 35kg Yellowfin a few years ago just a 200mts offshore at Nusa Dua.
If you want to see lots of big fish go to Benoa Harbour. Every day many boats land thousands of very big Blue and Yellowfin Tuna as well as hundreds of Marlin, the biggest I've seen landed being over 400kg. What a pitiful sight to see such beautiful fish minus head and fins and somthing that is totaly unsustainable.
