Looks like the water we get out wide in summer, nice deep blue :D
Man it reminds me of being over there. Those yellowfin would have made awesome sashimi!
Have you been to whatever bar?
Also which boats have you been on?

No to whatever bar . Akura and captain moko. And just been a passenger on a flying fish boat . Man that was crazy 9 wee boats going flat out chasing them down ,then scoping them up in a wee net , somehow one handed in the pitch black . http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...a90ce23b59.jpg

I have had a few good sessions at White Island catching those crazy fish, some don't need to be caught and fly into the boat :D Pretty good deadbait for big kingis in deep waterQuote:

Was hard case as they compete for them with the GTs . Must have seen 50 of them big too . Some times they smash the fly fish right at the net . Very very cool to see

So why the hell are you not hitting the GTs?Quote:

Which includes pretty much any fish that puts up a good fight for its size including Kahawai,prevention is quick chilling so look after your fish always.

Some nice fish landed today . A marlin landed by what looked like a very happy Yong teenage girl . A big Mahi Mahi by some one and a 55 kg wahoo by a spearo. I managed a 10 kg yellow fin.

Wasn't enough time, I should have Done my theory online before I went , & Didn't factor in that our resort had 3 hrs of $10 Cocktails every Night :DQuote:
