    Christmas Island in Oct

    Wish I had more to report or had more pictures. I do a poor job of getting the camera out in general and the weather and the fact I was wading mostly knee to waist deep water didn’t make it easier to pull the camera from my bag so I only took 5 total fish pics. But here one more of a nice bone...

    Christmas Island in Oct

    Ya huff dam got blown out. And we heard sunset/Christmas Island outfitters was permanently closed. The wind from the west was a big challenge and seemed to be a factor on the lagoon flats like orvis and 9 mile the clarity of the water made it impossible to see anything. We spent every morning...

Made for tough...

    Cheeky reels..?

    I have two cheeky limitless reels. I’ve landed bonefish, permit, tarpon, jacks, pinks, coho on them with never a problem. I take care of them like I would any of my salt reels with a good rinse and allow to dry with the spool off.

    Christmas Island Oct 25

    I enjoyed the lodge. It was nice, food was solid view was good. They put me on fish. I liked the fishing program. No complaints. I’m fishing the other outfitter purely because the price for a solo angler is 2k cheaper. Had a fishing buddy with me last year so got the double occupancy price break.
