Jon, the UHL was under utilised unfortunately.

What outfits did you utilise the most?

Awesome shirt graphics, who did the design/printing?

Good trip report - weather looks a bit tough but you can't beat a PE2 challenge!
Love the shirts :D
Just a handful of days before team GB get some action!

Rods used were a range of Carpenters - UHL, EXH, WV and TBL. There was a Komodo Dragon and a Ripple Fisher PE12 as well.

The t-shirts are designed by Maverick's cousin and printed in Miri, Malaysia. We wanted the design to be bigger but given that we only got it done 2 weeks before the trip, it came out alright.

Chris - Maverick had numerous hits on your lures. He's a fullscale convert!

Here are a few more pictures....

Greg, the hookers hit the water but no hits. We tried jigging twice in those 5 days. We caught small stuff - coral trout, several rainbow runners. We did get some sharks I think and lost our assist - phew!

Thanks Jay. Was using a Nikon D90. Bought it for this trip. Its big and chunky but it gives me plenty of options to be creative.
