We met at the jetty at about 10am and we were greeted by a large water snake named Fred.

We headed out to a clear and calm morning. Our first stop is what used to be a sand bar until the storms last year flattened it. The water around it is crystal clear with a sandy bottom.
We like our swimming holes with sandy bottoms not ourselves.

It also made for a good place to work on ones tan.
Next up was a bit of trolling while we moved to our next destination. The lines were set and the course was laid, now it is time to break up the monotony of trolling with a bit of fun.
First comes out the blue zinc oxide that is used to completely block out the sun and also great fun when goofing around.

At first it was just the kids but then it turned into everyone onboard wearing blue lips.

We trolled for awhile and had a couple of strikes but nothing stayed on.
As time was moving quickly we had to pull in the lines and get to the next spot, as they wanted to try a bit of popping.
We arrived at the popping spot and I set up a drift. Within seconds the first GT was on and Renee was having the fight of her life.

Not more that a few minutes and the second GT was hooked up. This time it was Thomas's turn to have the fight of his life.
A nice dark GT and of course blue lips.
Unfortunately time had run out and we had to make a lunch appointment. So the rods were stowed and off we went.
A bit more swimming and some fish tales later we wrapped up an awesome day.
I like to call this day a one in a hundred. For every hundred days on the water one is this good.

Fun with the blue lips. Amazing how storms can make things appear and disappear especially when they are big storms. Sand bars, ship wrecks, reefs. Good to see you back posting.

Storms and changes... renewal of the fishing grounds... Thanks for posting fish whisperer. This post feels more relaxed... different from the usual hardcore action
You gotta' love it when everyone is relaxing and having lots of fun at the same time. Looks like the "blue lips craze" turned out to be the fun connector for the day along with water, sun, and fish. Thanks for sharing, Callan.
Realmente viven ustedes en un paraiso, aguas cristalinas y buena pesca...que mas se puede pedir.
Felicitaciones por esos GT.
Un saludo

That indeed was a beautiful day, "One in a hundred" as described. I am from Fiji originally and have always wanted to target GTs with poppers. Maybe one day soon I will be popping those reefs you visited. Very nice GTs in the pics though I know there are ever much bigger ones...sets the adrenaline going eh? Moce mada.
That water is AMAZING!
This looks like a beautiful place to fish, great photos too. Thanks for sharing!
