October birthday ideas please
Submitted by Rik178m on Fri, 2012-06-15 11:07
Hey guys and girls,
Its my 30th bday in October and I want to do something amazing like catching the fish of a lifetime! Problem is I have no idea where to go or what I could catch at that time of year!
Can anyone give me some pointers? It has to be saltwater and put up a good fight! Australia only unless it's really worth a flight.
Thanks

What's the budget?
If you dont mind spending big, then Nomad definitely the way to go. Doggies in Vanuatu a good option also.
Montes is great for a cheaper option.
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.

What fish would I be
What fish would I be targeting on these trips? Budget wise I'm not sure what to expect to pay. Max is $5000 but around 2-3000 would be best. Is that a high or low budget? 2people.

thats a low budget
stay in wa as Nomad would be around the 10000 mark for 2 ppl + airfares and maybe accomodation...... for that sort of money id be goin closer to home...or even a holiday in Gove....... i know its great fishing up there too but then W.a has a lot to offer as well ....... but also on Nomad you'll be gettin your arms stretched catchin huge GTs and alot of other species too...... all arm stretchers!

Birthday
Mine is in October too mate, if you have spare cash i will come with you (hah hah).
As already said if you can't do Nomad, then Montes. Or you could do a drive up the coast and do a day or two charter at Abrolhos, day in Coral Bay- then a few days at Exxy on charters. That is assuming you can get bookings when you need them.

Are you looking at doing a live aboard charter or just want to go somewhere and fish?, maybe head up to Kunanurra and fish the ord for barra ( Macka's barra camp looks good).

Rowley Shoals all day every day
I was lucky enough to do a fishing trip for 6nights/ 5 days out there in 2001 - Yep that long ago but what you'll experience will stay with you forever. Sailfish, wahoo, dogtooth, GT's , Maori Wrasse, Coral trout, Long Nose Emperor, Red Bass, Blue Trevally, Black Trevally, Big Eye Trevally. All on lures - mostly poppers - just insane fishing. Its the type of place that allows you to understand what fishing would be like around Australia before it was impacted upon by humans - so damn good! 24deg C at night - I slept all but one night on the deck - no mozzies etc just awesome.

Yikes 10000 is more then I thought!!
I think the plan is going to be drive the patrol up and do a couple of charters and off the beach/rocks.
I need to do some research on the places mentions so thanks guys.

Good Trade hey!
PS Trust me, you better NOT leave her behind.
Why not go to Exxy/Coral bay and do some charters with captian Bernie on Mahi Mahi II
