      Fishing so far has been good, but not outstanding.  We have had a lot of Queenfish, Emporers, Rainbow Runners, Groupers and small Giant Trevally.  My largest GT has been about 12kg and maybe the largest any of us have landed is 25kg.  We start to get excited at 40kg, so we are well off that.

      Yesterday we had dozens of hits from GT's, but most of them were coming up short, and we only contacted about 10 in total.

      Another rod was broken (on a large GT that took from under the boat - basically you are screwed when this happens), bringing the total number of smashed rods at 3 so far for the week (I have not bust a rod, but Szymon bust one of mine for me…...FFS  🙂 )

      Me and Szymon with a couple of Queenies we had yesterday.  When the Queenies are around, I switch to very light tackle - it's amazing fun....

        You can take a man (Szymon) to water, but you cant take the rod out of his hands…

            Is that two turtles doing it?

            @Giles:

            Yep

            @goosehd:

            That looks quite enjoyable and picturesque.

            Whatever works for you…

                          Ahhh, a world without people. That sounds perfect!

                              I'd give anything to be on those islands. almost reminds me of my days in the army with a coastal hook exercise. land on the beach, assault primary target..

                                  I have not been on the forum for about 10 days, this has been an interesting read, to put it mildly.

                                    I just came across this thread as well. Probably the fastest I ever went through this many posts. Thread binging! Happy to read that everything eventually got sorted out.

                                      The water looks incredible! Looks like great fun, even if y'all haven't encountered any monster GT's yet.

                                        Yesterday, we caught a lot of fish.  Nothing massive for me, my largest GT being about 20kg, I had a donkey of a fish attack my lure 3 times close to the boat, but did not connect.

                                        The largest to the boat was for Cyril, about 45kg….
