We started talking about this trip about 6 months ago. For one reason or another, ie: work, holidays etc it felt like it would never happen. After Kitno and myself doing a quick trip down there two weeks ago, I came home with a desire to head back down. There is something about watching the boat next to you throwing 5kg+ snapper over the side that gets you going. Bent rods, reels screaming, yahooing. Yep, it gets you going. Funniest thing I heard all day, bloody tidlers as another 5kg+ snapper heads over the side. Kitno and I sat there looking at each other wondering if we had entered the twilight zone. Biggest fish that day 6.88kg.

Long term thinking that very smart.....) |
