Eiao, French Polynesia - one off opportunity to join a trip of a lifetime

 Some years back I visited Eiao, in French Polynesia.

To this day, it's still probably the most ridiculous trip I've done. You can see my report below.

http://fishwrecked.com/forum/jigging-and-popping-eiao-marquises-group-french-polynesia

For years now, the island has sat totally unfished - with the exception of one recon trip that was out there about 2 weeks ago.

Safe to say, the fishing is just as ridiculous as always. They smashed the fish, including this beast of a doggie landed, not to mention a spooled Stella 20 and JM PE7 on bigger fish.... 

The next people to fish this island will be my group, which is heading out there in February, and we have space available (either one or two spaces) to join.

Flight will depart Sydney on Thursday 9 February and get you back to Sydney on 19 February. Flight cost is A$2050 return.

No tackle supplied - you need to be self sufficient out there. It's a wild place, and a long way from anywhere.

If you are serious about coming and can make the dates, please drop me a message for more details. It is a guaranteed trip of a lifetime!

Cheers,

Dan

When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:

n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or

n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.

 No mate no surf tours out there that I'm aware of. It's like 80nm+ away from the nearest inhabited place and the water is fekkin laden with sharks.
