Southern Oman II

SO its been a massively tough year work wise, long hours, lots of stress the usual yada yada and the only thing saving my sanity was the rebook of Hallaniyat Islands trip with www.oceanactive.com that I did last year ... so I persuaded

Andrew Walker to come with me so we could bag his first GT! Well long story cut short ... really bad weather made for a difficult trip coupled with GT lockjaw disease meant we landed one on PE6 and lost around 6 I think (one boatside that came off the gaff 4th cast into the first day - absolute bus and prospective PB GT! *sigh*). We had some highs and lows ... let the pictures do the talking!

Best moment? A real "priceless" Andrew moment that saw a rod in one piece one second and literally blew up massively to be reduced to carbon rubble in his hands the second

followed secondly by a huge hit to reef in 3 seconds flat in 3m water with a huge bommie! doh!

I guess I have to apologize as I partly take blame for Andrew not hitting the bullseye - we got extremely lucky to get into a GT surface bustup situation - unfortunately I thought they were tuna and handed Andrew his Tenryu Diablo with a

10K and 50lb line :/ didn't last long

sorry bud!

Although without realizing it he did get a massive brown GT in the form of a huge topwater AJ - nice!

A good week and nice to be away in the sunshine catching fish!

Oreos!
