Title: Andaman trip with gamefishingasia
Post by: Hamad Alroumi on March 20, 2015, 04:58:44 PM

Hello every one


This is my first trip to andaman with gamefishingasia.com
We were a group of 4 anglers
1-my self hamad alroumi -organiser of the trip
2- aziz al mudhaf - the amazing camera man
3- aziz al mukhaizeem  - carpenter-aholic
4-mishaal alhazeem - his casting skills Is amazing !

The trip from Kuwait was really pain In the ass! 13 hours with 3 transits until we reached portblair .. It was on jet airways .. We had a really hard time getting our gear on board , they charged us 45 kd for every rod tube which is approx 140-150. $ + 18 $ for every kg .. It was a rip off for sure !
But when we reached andaman we forgot everything ! Greated by akshay and his wife and a nice Indian food we rigged our gear and we were ready for the next day!

I still remember the looks on akshay's face when I told him That everyone of us came with 50 jigs

Looks like a top spot.

Love the reel storage/travel idea think I might borrow it for an upcoming trip.

What straightened that assist hook?

Cheers.

Trev , I have already booked my dates for 2016 ! I really fell inlove with this place! A must visit


Lucas ,

It's the best way to store your reels , but make sure the bag has a pressure relief valve mine didn't .. It got compressed during the flight

It was a shark that took the half of the rubby snapper

Hi Hamad.

Thanks for that.

The tax man is always trying to take his piece of the catch.

Cheers.
