Heaven on Earth

Ever arrived at that holiday destination only to be disappointed because that picture perfect postcard in the brochure was the only picture possible?  Well I will vouch that this place makes you feel like you are actually walking through the postcard, all the time.  I'm talking about the Cook Islands.  With anything though the further you are away from well worn tracks the more special the places become, so that statement doesn't hold true for the more developed islands in the Cooks.  I guess learning to fly fish might give you a plausible excuse to wade around waist deep in this gin clear tropical water...

Bonefish enthusiasts should consider investigating the Cook Islands in more depth.  It has had a few false starts, they still have issues with the locals netting expansive flats but potential still exists on Aitutaki and Penhryn in particular.  We are talking fewer but massive Boneage. Some of the resorts are amazing.  A few signed photos of Bruce Willis and Co. with thank-you's to the staff for a wonderful stay at Pearl Pacific probably vindicates this.  Tis a romantic place too. As always, the locals are delightful.

I also explored the southern most island in the Cook group, Mangia, with an Australian based fishing agent and co fishing photo journalist to explore it but it's a rugged coast with little flats potential.  GT potential exists however. 

Here's an article, specifically about the Bonefishing on Aitutaki, that saw Gordon Howlett, Greg Finney, Daniel Sefton and I tangle with some of the Cook's best.

As always, shout out for more information about the Cook Islands.  If I can't help, I will find out or I will happily direct you to existing agencies that have been sending clients to the Cooks for years. 

Let's do it!

Blue Latitudes

Early "Kiritimati" Present

With Air Pacific recently reopening up services to what many would regard as the best saltwater fly destination for bonefish on the planet, now has never been a better time to do something about getting this trip on your "bucket list". (aka Things to do before you kick the bucket) The immediacy of the successes and failures of this place transcends the body count.

"Boldly going where Captian Cook has gone before"













Please Release Me

The east coast of Malaysia ranks up there with the rest of the Sail Fishing mecca hotspots such as Costa Rica. Infrastructure that isn't as well developed as other mass marketed locations keeps this part of the world relatively protected from the masses. As a result, double digit catch and release days are prolific.

Drop me a line if you would like to find out more about arranging your customised trip to this and other South East Asian locations......




Bones in Belize

Sometimes pictures speak a thousand words. In the foreground boundless numbers of  bonefish, tarpon and permit lurk and in the background, well over one thousand fathoms of reasons to get here.

Belize has a rich history that non fishos will also love exploring.

So, do you want to get to Belize? Contact me.



Los Roques.

Truly a remarkable place. The expedition to Los Roques lends it self to the perfect trip with the loved ones where you can sell more than just the prospect of world class fishing. You can safely pitch this destination as the "second honeymoon".

With massive expanses of white sand flats, blue lagoons and isolated quays, Los Roques takes you to a place somewhere between isolation and solitude.



Jumper

Early season sails (2010) have gotten off to a great start on the east coast of Malaysia where double digit catch and release days have been the norm. Season runs until approximately the end of October so contact me should you be interested in experiencing some of the best sail fishing in the world
