Hi guys,
I'm perplexed, big word I know. I'm looking at a cheap(ish) holiday for two where she can dive and I can pop for gt in later this year or mar/apr next year. We went to Ono island Fiji in January this year and i nailed on my 4th cast my first decent gt at 17kg, no monster but it did the damage and I'm keen for more. I'd like to be able to target GT's, of all sizes, as well as the other incidentals that come with it. Tackle will be GT special and 8k Stella with a 16k no limits spool with 50 and 80lb braid on the spools as well as a 20lb light spin for fun n games, i also have a 50-80 jig stick i would be taking. She wants to dive, experienced 100+ dives, and sit in a hammock under a tree reading.
We really enjoyed Fiji and would happily return, but we like to vary our destinations and I was thinking of Bali, but I don't know much about the place or it's potential. A search on here has confused me with some suggestions that the fishing is very hit and miss while others suggest it's good to go.
I need a good laid back approach without the commercialised epi centres of the major resorts. That's why we liked Ono so much, after the initial shock of the isolation which took about 3hrs to overcome and realise the bliss of it all.
Airfares between Sydney and Bali/Fiji are very similar with $200-300 difference, and accommodation costs would be similar I'm guessing. I just need to know which parts of Bali i should be looking at.
If you had the choice, where would you head and why?
Josh
