Hey Rassie, Early October - the comp is 7-9th Oct but the full trip package in/out of Singapore is 5-10th Oct. If you send me a PM with your email I can send you the trip costs in NZ$. Or you can see prices in AUD$ on the website here, http://rompinbillfishclassic.oceanbluefishing.com.au/packages/ Cheers David ------------- Fishing Vanuatu - Trees & Fishes Anglers Lodge | Vanuatu Mothership Adventures | New Caledonia | Malaysia |

I saw a video of Sam over there a while back, certainly a lot of fish there, 2k Oz for 5 days away, cheaper than a jig trip to the kings

It's really a 4 month window, June/July to end Oct. Monsoon kicks in mid Nov and that's game over for the year. Sails generally have 2 runs a year, a June/July feed on bait fish and Sept/Oct is usually when things really hot up.
