Title: Suggestion for GT trip whit girlfriend
Post by: Antonino Augugliaro on June 03, 2011, 06:22:55 PM
Hi all,
I'm starting now to find the right compromise for me and my girl friend. I need a nice trip for GT (big Gt, better if are monster GT  8)), but I need also a nice place for my girlfriend (white beaches, sun, palms and comfort)... What are your suggestions?
I might consider a fishing trip not for GT (somewhere in central America or other destination...)

Thanks a lot to all  :)

You go fishing......... she goes to the beach! 
How's that for a compromise?

Haveloc Island, Andamans. Pleanty of GTs - though larger specimens above 35 kg are rare. Prestine beaches, white sand, have-your-own-island-for-a-day etc.

Head to Bali.
GTs are not huge, but there are fair chances of getting them, besides its a great holiday destinations... sandy beaches, nice resorts, plenty of shopping, cheap spas and great food and booze...

No Brandon, sand, sun and palms are only for my girlfriend, I'm looking only to improove my GT record. For this I wrote "compromise". I could give up the palms  ;)

Darran and Akshay from Game Fishing India can take both of you to Havelock (less than 2 hrs from Port Blair), drop your girlfriend at Beach no. 7, take you fishing.......and pick her up on the way back to PB.

Antonio,
The Whitsunday Islands are in the middle of Queensland Coast. They are large continental Islands with a range of Resorts from very flash to budget, Hamilton Island being the best known.
There are a lot of GT's around the Islands plus it is possible to do day fishing trips to the Outer Barrier Reef.  I have stayed at a number of Resorts and they were nice. I don't personally know the fishing charter guys, but I'm sure someone on here could help.


Can anyone else fill in the gaps?

Fiji would be the place for me. Girlfriend can lounge around the pool while you fish

Also from what i have heard the prices at the moment are pretty good compared to other parts of the world
