Sounds mean. I assume that you have Anau connections to Araura Enua that would make this possible.

Definitely a market for it, for all the reasons you mention. Hope it goes well and I am keen to go on a trip like this, as you say almost everyone else locally is more focused on trolling and paara.

Samade is a beautiful spot, please keep me updated on any developments.

Atupaka,

Alan

Hi Alan,

Yeah we are super keen to make this happen, in my trips up there in the last few years I've spotted incredible sportfishing potential and we would be very keen to tap in to the huge market that exists in the states for this type of fishing. Reef dwellers such as GTs and Doggies would be strictly catch and release to protect the fishery.

Yea we do have the necessary connections and permissions, and will be entering into partnership with one of the MPs as well as Cook Islands Tourism - bringing in wealthy fishermen while looking after the resources should be great for the local economy ad should be good for the local bonefishing guides as well.

We will certainly keep you posted as I am aware you have deep links to the Cooks, I actually met you on a previous trip up there and you were most helpful and informative so a huge thanks for that.

Cheers
Bryce

Sounds like you have your bases covered Bryce. You can gauge the positive response to this venture on here. I tried to get there unsuccessfully for 4 years and that was from living in Raro, so if you go ahead with your plans, you will do really well and I am sure it would be very popular. As you know, massive potential, especially if you turn it into a 2 hour trip.

Hope it goes well, I am keen as!

See you, Alan
