Now Peter, don't make Luke choke just because he was teasing

Awesome reports and pics Brandon. looks like an unreal trip

[Cy and Kerrin Taylor]

Sweet report Brandon! Awesome to read and great to browse through the Shoalwater captures.

Nomad sounds like a 5 star operation - great guides, fishing, scenery, food etc. They have a great business out there.

The Shoalwater areas look incredible. Looks like there are lots of fishy areas to explore.

Thanks for the great report - can't wait for the segment on Creek-to-Coast!

Top report Brandon, may i ask what date your heading to Shoalwater? Its my first trip with Nomad In Feb 09. only 88 days to go!!

[Brandon Khoo]

Hi Neale - you're on a diferent week to me. I'm on week one which is from January 31 to February 6

[Neale Bird]

oh really? i fly in the day you fly out  ah well i hope you leave some fish for me to get stretched by judging by you report i wont have any trouble there

[Brandon Khoo]

as long as weather is half decent, you won't have any trouble finding fish to stretch you out. You may have a lot of trouble landing some of them though 

[Neale Bird]

Bing it on! 87 days to go

[Scott Maybury]

Hey Neale, I am on the same Shoalwater trip as you next year and, like you, am counting down the days.

It will be my first Nomad trip and my first GT adventure, so I am looking forward to hopefully shaking Brandon's hand for all the online tips he has handed out, and then getting amongst some!

[Brandon Khoo]

Hi Scott - if you want to be sure of catching up, ask Claire to book you out on the first plane.

[Neale Bird]

True! i look forward to meeting ya. im bringing my girl friend with me too (wasn't going to let me spend that much without bringing her along  ) and if its going to be an eye opener for me its gonna blow her mind i think

[Scott Maybury]

Yeah cool Brandon, I will mention that to Claire.

The countdown is on and now I am just hoping for a bit of luck and good weather - the last couple of decent trips I have been on (Weipa and Townsville) have been badly affected by the weather, but next year I have 3 lined up before June - Port Stephens for hopefully my first Marlin in late January, Shoalwater in Feb and New Cal in April, so if I get decent weather on those I will consider myself even with the fish gods

[Neale Bird]

How pricey is New calidonia? i keep hearing alot about it.. or should i go to cocos island instead?
