Most of the fish were caught on the reef fringe on the oceanside.

Don't worry though i know of many GTs over 40kg caught inside the lagoon. I bagged a 40-45kg bastard casting to a beautiful cliff 10 minutes from Malabou!

Good luck mate - can't wait to see your report.

There's a scrollbar at the bottom Honsu... pain in the arse >:(

It's because the pictures are large in dimension - i'll try to reduce them soon.
