NC fishing and merry christmas!

hi guys,
Have been away travelling for about a month now, so I haven't had much of a chance to log in or browse the forums. Anyway, here's a small teaser/report from New Caledonia, which I spent a week at up until Christmas eve. Fantastic place with enormous potential for literally everything when the 'bite' is on! The boys from Le Poisson Banane really take good care of you. Unfortunately too tired now to write a full report, but I hope to do one soon.. :)

P.S. A very merry merry Christmas to all, especially to those that I know; Ads, Andy, Andrew, John, Steve, James, Honsu and many more; you know who you are (sorry, the journey back from Malabou to singapore is almost 18 hours and 3 time zones, and have been busy all xmas day, so excuse me for not listing all!). Seasons greetings and hopefully there will be some catching up (and catching fish) when i get back to Perth sometime mid-february. :)

Pretty Lures

Cheers Kasey, hope you didn't damage all those pretty lures.

Hope you caught that horse GT and doggie you've been dreaming about.

32 kg GT is good enough start for a beginner like me
had swipes from two BIG ones, 40-45kg, but c'est la vie :)

planning on going back 2009. Hopefully with better timing. you know how people say 'you should have been here last week?' I said to david, ok, show me the photos, he said are u sure, you might cry. Well, I came pretty close to tearing, as they landed a bagload of 40-50kg fish, topping off with a GT around 54kg, and dropped at least 7 more. Fantastic place to chase record fish.

great place, great people, great fishing.

70lb

Nothing wrong with a 70lb GT! Beats those salmon on stickbaits.

Would have left a nice boil on the surface when you hooked it.
