      Maybe you should start a side biz as a scuba resort…  😛

            I’m dying to know if the fishing is everything you hoped for!  It looks like the adventure of a lifetime.

              I had perhaps my most satisfying fish ever the other evening.  I wandered down the beach from the camp (on my own) to have a few casts, 1st cst I had a big hit which I did not connect with, 3rd cast I had a massive hit and line screamed off my reel, I kept on tightening drag until I managed to slow the fish down (I was seriously scared of been spooled), The only way I could gain line was to walk back up the beach and then walk very fast back again, whilst reeling in.  Long story short, 10 minutes later and 200yards down the beach from where I hooked the fish, I landed a 20kg (approx) Giant Trevally.  Amazing fish. amazing fight, fecked Giles…..

                    Here's a smaller one I caught from the boat being returned….

                    And one of about 10kg caught on the Kanreki Popper….

                      I can tell from your face in the last pic that you're having a shite time and that you're thoroughly miserable. Poor bastard.

                                Love the pics and the catch and release. My kids always want to release and try to catch them again when they are bigger. We do keep some for eating though. Hard to beat a good day fishing.

                                          So far this week we have kept a couple of Bluefin Trevally and a Big Eye Trevally for food. A decent sized Giant Trevally is about 30 or 40 years old, killing one of those is really not a good thing.

                                            I like your version of Thanksgiving…maybe you can turn it into an Iron Heart tradition?

                                            The journey is the objective.
