Thanks Andrew for taking the time to post it up...

Great shots, great scenery and nice fish Thumbs Up

Did Kurt make you up any custom poppers while you were there? Wink

Kurt showed us some of his home spun poppers,he was very appreciative (sp) of your package Thumbs Up..I'm sure karma is going to return all your favours in spades. 
 
You should get yourself over there for some R&R&R&D!

Was there last year.  It's got to be one of the best fish and dive destinations in the world.  Also spectacular scenery and great places to stay and you get looked after better than anywhere else I've ever been. 
Beats Fiji (and all their  resorts) where I took with my kids for a holiday this year hands down.
Definitely got to save up and go back to Vava'u next year.

Bro I can't even get out to White this weekend because of work rosters etc...

I am just keen to see Kurt make up some poppers and catch some fish, that would be payment enough, and Kurt choice photo of your son in the Fishing News you must be proud ! Chur Big smile

SWMBO asked if I wanted to go to Tonga when you said you lot were going.... I thought about until she mentioned she wanted to go to the States in return $$$$$$$$$ Confused  And she wouldn't be travelling to Cape Cod LOL

But I will work towards getting out fishing with Kurt for a GT mission, but first I need to get to Tauranga to catch up with Ben and get some lures swimming...

Thanks for all the kind words, Andrew.  I had a really good time taking you folks out.  Been trying to get out myself, but have not had any luck.  New Trailer arrived yesterday, with no cross members and the wrong ubolts Censored now Have some pretty wheels and shiny metal and a bag of nuts and bolts.....but still no trailer.  

Thanks again Sam for the lure parts.  Fixed one lure already and spun up a couple at a friends shop the other day.  Got to finish them up soon.  Can't wait to see the photo of my son Keith in the NZFN.  He will love that.  Should be a few more weeks before our mag arrives.




Tis better to have hooked and lost than never to have hooked at all.
