The Fishing
Solomon Islands. A tropical island paradise in the Western Province of the Solomon Islands. In February 2009. Gavin and Mark jumped on a plane and went there for a week to check things out. They liked what they found - you can fish for:
marlin &sailfish in depths of up to 1000m, then the shallow reefs for mahi mahi, dogtooth tuna, wahoo, Spanish mackerel, barracuda, yellowfin tuna cruise the flats &estuaries for giant trevally, sleepy cod, bonefish, milkfish, coral trout or the freshwat
Weipa - Cape York. Miles of flats fishing over pristine golden sand beaches and crystal clear waters makes sight-casting very exciting! There are many fun (and challenging!) species to target on fly: Of course the mighty Barramundi…
the elusive Permit...and many other favourites: Queenfish, Blue Salmon, Threadfin Salmon, Giant Herring, Fingermark, Golden Trevally, Giant Trevally, Longtail Tuna, Tarpon, Mangrove Jack, Cobia, Grunter, Bream, Saratoga, Spanish Mackerel, Grey Mackerel, Coral Trou
Christmas Island. With crystal clear waters over endless white flats as far as the eye can see - Christmas Island is as close as you can get to utopia for the sight casting junkie...Bonefishing is a shallow-water pursuit done in depths ranging from 8 inches to 8 feet… and the stories you hear about Christmas Island are true, fishing is consistently good every week of the year with lots of bonefish averaging 3-6 pounds, many up to ten!
Coral Sea Atolls. Marion Reef - North. Along this edge we have caught Giant Trevally and less than a kilometre from here to the north, into the middle of this passage, we have had some of our hottest dogtooth tuna and wahoo bites.
We have had sessions here where we have sighted marlin and sailfish, particularly on the outside edge where it drops into the abyss.Coming around to the eastern face and casting back into the coral we have caught stacks of red bass,coral trout and GT’s.
