[Jon Viney]

Nice one Sami and team. Great fish and an amazing place.

[Leo Sorbello]

Wow that place is fully sick !. Photos are simply amazing and with some funky coloured lures just adds to the truly tropical feel.

Those doggies look scary anywhere near those teeth...........

Sami, thank you for bringing us along your quest with photos, tackle and of course backgound.

Regards

Leo
