Title: Recommend some awesome dvds
Post by: Tim Kelly on March 12, 2009, 07:26:10 PM: Hi guys

First post here.

I'm planning a trip to ono island in Fiji early next year and a mate mentioned this website. I've been reading through the reports and am absolutely pumped about getting my first gt along with a host of other new species for me.

Before a big trip, I'm sure I'm not the only one who likes to watch a dvd or 5 that are related to the planned expedition. It's kinda like christmas eve for a little kid I guess.

Can anybody recommend their favourite gt/popper/jigging dvds that might satisfy my need?

Cheers
Tim

I'll be fishing Ono Island on next Thursday, I'll post something early April and let you know how it went.

As for DVDs I've been avoiding them. When I've got a trip coming up it always leads to a tackle buying frenzy and watching DVDs is like pouring petrol on the fire.
