Komodo Live-Aboard Catch Report

[Andy Rowe]

Hi All,

Posting a few photo's from a recent live-aboard trip we did around Komodo. The group included Jon Li, Jeng, Angus and myself, we had a brilliant trip, fishing was good, company and scenery were great. In general the fish were not big but there were a few surprises and good variety. I'll let the photo's do the talking.

Jon, Jeng, and Gus feel free to add to the report. Thanks for the great fun and memories and a special thanks to Jon for organising and working so hard to put us on the fish.

Cheers
Andy

Hi Brock,

That is Jeng, our Thai buddy, he fished with Jon Li (in grey hat) in the golden days when you were too scared to cast a lure at komodo. He is a great GT fisher and has an awesome sense of humor as you can see. He pimped his 2 Wild Violence rods with new handles and bindings to match his snoopy pants!!

ha cheers mate, thanks all again for a great trip, sorry I didnt get to post my promised prose report (looks like work was busier than I thought on return!)

I second your thanks to Jon for organising the trip, a sensational outing and a very welcoming introduction to livaboard fishing fro GT's for me!

A greeat gang an very memorable times!

For all who havent fished with Jeng, thai + crazy pants + bintang + WV and "No rine out!" = crazy times on a boat.

Look forward to fishing with you all in the near future!
Cheers
Gus

Hi Gus ,

We will fish again next year , this time for big YFT n GT when the monsoon is over n I promise not to run out of Bintangs ! You are one of the best caster I have ever met , I wish I have that power still in me . Gonna be seeing Jeng next week and have a few Singha for sure and possibly make time to fish the barra pond , if both I n Jeng have time while I m over in BKK . By the way , why don't you post the marlin photo ?

For Andy ,
