To quote my buddy: " party is over ", time to go back work !
Camp is set somewhere on the wild side of Nuku Hiva. The program for two days is: shorefishing, BBQ and sleeping… Tough life !
Only one obligation: catch Mahi for our BBQ and bonitoes for the typical Polynesian raw fish recipe.
To summarize: while Mahi and bonitoes were too easy to catch, big GTs just kicked our ass.
We only succeeded to land baby GTs from the rocks and a few teen GTs from the beach.
The big black ones were just unstoppable: when it's too big and too strong … It's just too big and too strong.
What a perfect way to start a new year ! I love my work !
Sinking Temple GUZZI, Slow sinking Temple LAMBO 240 and BALLISTA BULL 160 were the must have for these two days. But now, I must ask Randy to send me some more …
Only one regret: no YFT for the sashimi.
