Post by: Gordon George on April 28, 2010, 02:31:05 PM

Hay people.

 Keen newbie from NZ after advice for a first time destination to target G.T's, and doggy's.

G'day Gordon and Welcome!

If you're looking to fish for GT's on a budget... then you've chosen the wrong sport  ;D
Seriously though, considering you're from NZ, I'd be looking at Fiji... great $ exchange rate(even against the NZ$ ;))... fantastic location... quality GT's... and there's a few top-shelf operators to choose from.

Cheers Rob

Cheers, Fiji is looking good but I have a thing of not travelling to the same spot twice, the world is too big and soo much needs to be popped.
 But the wife likes fiji and it does look good from the wallet point of veiw.

Thanks

Was looking at Nomad for next June, but I cant wait, wanna look at a trip sooner and buy some tackle, ie stella 20000 + popper rod + jig rod.

 Fiji is looking good, Tonga, New Caledonia is getting up there.

Wana go with a group so it's cheaper and I can learn and have a good time.

I do a bit if jigging so want to have a jig as well.

I want my G.T wings and dogytooth wings. :D
