Hey all
I have been quite busy since coming back from Eiao in mid April and only now have I had a chance to sit down and post up some pics
As quite a few of you on here would have seen last year the report I did from our trip to Eiao in August it was quite good, I had such a good time on the last trip I just had to book again to target that Ghost GT!
I wasted no time in booking another trip when returning home last year, however this time I was to go by myself as I could not manage to find a friend that could manage to come with me. The plan was to meet up with the guys in Papeete and fly to Nuku Hiva where we would meet Teddy and the crew and sail to Eiao.
This trip was going to be different to the first as we were now staying on a mothership sailboat large enough for 9 people to comfortably live for a week in the middle of nowhere, it was a lot more comfortable then camping!!
There was 6 of us fishing from two traditional boats which are ideal for casting from all day, the anglers comprised of me from Australia, Michael from Denmark, Cyrall(Breakfast) from Canada, Teddy from Tahiti, George the scotsman from Aus and Randy from Singapore. So we had a good mixed bag of anglers!
The fishing was quite hard this trip due to the water being quite dirty, maybe this was due to rough weather or temperature changes in the water, we will not know.
Even though we had relatively hard fishing we still managed to catch plenty of fish, Eiao is amazing and is plentiful of fish so we still caught plenty just nothing over the top XOS
The place is quite breathtakingly beautiful with shear cliff faces and rugged mountainsides, there is also plenty of birdlife on the island.
I'll let the pictures do the majority of the talking...
