Title: Jared Jeffries films Vanuatu mothership trip
Post by: David Noble on August 05, 2013, 05:52:02 PM
Hi guys,

A few weeks back we had pro NBA basketballer, Jared Jeffries return to fish remote Vanuatu islands with us. Jared had a great mothership trip popping and jigging with us up in the islands last year and this time he returned with a film crew for his new show, Modern Fishing with Jared Jeffries.

Jared's now taken his passion to the next level, producing his own extreme fishing tv show during his off season, so this trip has been 12 months of anticipation.

Skipper Andrea said they caught loads of dogtooth & GT's which didn?t even qualify for a photo. The biggest doggie landed was in excess of 50kg on a popper. (Jared stands at 6'11 so tends to shrink fish in photo's!)
Poppers & stick baits both did damage, with West Coast poppers & ASWB getting the big thumbs up from JJ. It wasn't all glory however, they got decisively beaten, reefed, sharked & spooled. Every session had epic moments, so can't wait to see the show...

Jared rates this one in his top 3 adventures he's done anywhere in the world, so it's pretty encouraging feedback.

The next trip available is 14-19th October 2013, we have 3 spots left. It's a drive out mothership trip, sportsfishing for all the tropical reefies, namely big dogtooth & GT's on poppers.  Also for a premium trip, the cost comes in well within reach of your average travelling angler.

Some shots to share,
Cheers Dave
