Was said with a fair dash of sarcasm Brock :D ;) I've got a Nomad trip to Bugatti booked in June, already done a 4 day shoalwater trip in my own boat at the start of the year, off to whistler for some mountain biking come July/August and i'm trying to convince myself that a Fiji popping trip in December is affordable. Plus plenty of local trips hopefully. Doesn't make me a millionaire - actually makes me dirt poor :D :D
Jay Burgess:
What does it cost to do a Fiji trip compared to say NC?
steve sims:
Jay,
I would say that Fiji would be the cheaper option between a few mates given that the Australian dollar is stronger there opposed to the euro
(New Cal) I stayed in Fiji for two weeks and managed to rack up $3500 AUD in fishing charters for only 4 trips.
(3 1/2 day charters) I would definitely say there was better ways to go about it but most of them were sole charters.
I am going to New Cal in the beginning of May for an extended charter with LPB and given the way the currency has gone, it will cost more from when I booked it 12 months ago, but hopefully after the trip the only thing I'm crying about is my sore arms!!! I thoroughly enjoyed Fiji and its people and it will certainly not be the last time I go there.
Also off to Karratha in the beginning of August to fish a comp there.

Travis,
All good mate, we all have to get out of the house & have some fun sometime. i have decided that this is my year to try to fish, Bugatti in 3 weeks, PNG for 2 weeks in June, Bugatti again late July & Cooktown for 2 weeks in early October.
I work, earn money, go fishing. How many of us do it? And then we get a great site like this so as we can share all our pics, fun & experiences with everyone else, in the hope that one day other people can go & do what you have done.
PS: Thanks Luke, Brandon & our main sponsor FishHead, well done
