Popping/Jigging Expedition ideas

(1/4) > >>

Jay Burgess:
G'day guys, gathering info and ideas for a jig/pop trip in 2010. GT popping is my forte but I'm equally interested in the jigging side of things (haven't got to expereince big fish on jigs yet) and want a location where I can target big dogtooth on jigs and also pop for the GTs. I was wondering if Vanuatu might be a suitable location? Has anyone fished here and is there any professional operators people would recommend? Any other destinations you would recommend?

Cheers

Nathan Cefai:
Vanuatu has Doggies (alot of doggies) great to be targgeted with jigging,but on the GT side of things its great but not the best place..Ive fished there and for the hole week of doing a mixture of fishing i think we only got a handfull of GTs..marlin fishing is good also and plenty of tuna and big dollies...

Other members may have help on Vanuatu??..

I would go to Fiji insted of Vanuatu mate..Good doggy grounds around Kadavu and Ono..I have many customers who go there regulary and say they will always keep going there,some have been 4-5 times and love it..People have there on view in Fiji but i love it!!Farely well priced as well!!

Luke Wyrsta:
Depending on your budget, there are a couple of areas where there is a good mix of GT and Dogtooth...

* New Caledonia
* Tanzania (questionable safety issues)
* Christmas Island (Indian Ocean)
* Coral Sea with Nomad (Brandon can comment in more detail)
* Why not look further afield at somewhere off the beaten track - risky but could pay off!

Jay Burgess:
Thanks Nathan for the heads up on Fiji.

New Cal is an obvious choice but it seems like everyone goes there these days and I wouldn't mind something different.
