What an experience. Didnt really know what to expect at first but we were in really good hands. Cant believe they have produced an environment like they have, top marks to the team at the camp. I managed a huge Tarpon on my last day
Flights were a pain and takes a long time to get there however we soon forgot about the journey once at the stunning camp. wow, what a location the guys there have done a great job. Now the fishing - I didn't realise how fast paced it would be and next time I will be more prepared and a visit to the gym is essential. Running up and down the beach chasing fish is hard work but I enjoyed every minute. Thanks for your hard work
Hi Paul thanks for helping to organise this trip. we were very surprised how well we were looked after, the food at the camp was amazing and the fishing was a little slow at the start of the week but picked up towards the end. I managed to get my Cubera snapper. Thanks and speak soon
What an experience and made me realise how unfit I am. Lots of walking and sometimes running perhaps a slightly less strenuous trip next time
The fishing was very difficult. the winds during the week never died down making casting very difficult especially when faced with big waves. The guides took us to different areas that was a little easier however the fishing was not as good as expected. Perhaps next time we should book further in advance so we can pick better times
I didnt realise how remote this place was. at night time you couldn't hear a thing apart from the local frogs and some weird noises from the surrounding scrub. The guides and staff at the camp are amazing and very knowledgable.
Must take some more lures next time as lost a few and another angler was ever so kind and lent me some of his. Thanks for a memorable trip
my little tip is to make sure you take a fight belt as I came home with huge bruises all round my groin area...... these fish fight hard. The lure I took were a little too small but managed with what I had. More info on sizes would be better
Hi Peter, wow you were right its an amazing trip. we caught lots of different species including a huge shark which took both of us to land. the fight went on for over and hour. I have sent you some pictures hopefully you can use them. You are going to have to work hard to beat that trip but we are sure you will have a go.
speak soon
Thanks sportquest. enjoyed the whole trip. see you all soon
