Title: GT charters in Bali
Post by: Ben Furness on January 25, 2011, 01:53:37 PM
I am heading to Bali again in April for 11 days and am pretty interested in getting into some GT and other large species on the poppers and jigs. Can anyone recomend a well setup charter from anywhere on the island that will not cost the earth? I have all of my own jigging gear but do not own a popping rod so someone who supplies gear would be good.

Also any tips on landbased fishing around Easter would be great.

Mark,

Is there any reason why you cannot disclose them here?

Nothing on my side at all mate.

I am just a bit wary of being seen to promote businesses here that are not sponsors of the forum, as I was recently pulled up for this.  One of the forum sponsors does operate Bali charters and I do not wish to get anyone's back up again.

Fair call - the line is becoming finer and finer to tread along these days...

Hi Mark,

Were you popping in Batu Abah last Saturday.

I was on the other boat fishing around the area.

Hi Bwanna, yes I was  ;). 

So you were on Adhek's boat?  Myself and Paul Vogl were fishing on the other boat. You probably saw me when Adhek and I exchanged hellos  8).

It was hard going on Saturday with few fish but we did better on Sunday.
