Playing tour guide and tourist with visiting family
My brother Arick and his wife Stephanie came to visit us here in Fiji. Of course we wanted to get them out on the water for a fish. Unfortunately the weather gods were not very cooperative.
We did get out to do a bit of fishing. I have to say the odds were stacked against us. With four cyclones that developed inside of two weeks within the region, we had massive swell, wind and unpredictable weather. We still managed some fish and of course we all had a great time.
First fish in the boat was a Longtom or the Fijian name is Saku.
Then Stephanie decides she wants to have a go with the 50lb rod, and of course you know what happened. First cast, first pop, a fish on and landed. A nice Emperor to boot. Fijian name, Dakunivudi.
We had a very good time with Arick and Stephanie and I think they had a good time with us. We hope they decide to come back again. Hopefully the fishing will be better.
Nice fishing and pictures. Hope your family had fun on their visit!! I wanted to ask you... What is normally the depth of waters when you practice popping?
Hey Callan. How'd you do it? Get your Brother out fishing. I've tried to get mine out, but I've only been able to get him up to NorCal once in the last 12 years and had to, almost, blackmail him into it. You look like you had a great time. You've got all those good adventures right there, where I had to go to Mexico for some of them. That's why you live in Paradise.
I'm back on the blog commenting trail after being down with a good case of the flu.
Always great to show the family around what you do for a living. Looks like they had some serious fun. I don't know about riding the rails through the jungle, though.
Have enjoyed zip lines and that's one of the best thing to do for a vacation. A little adventure would be fine for me. Fishing a good thing too. Big catch you have it there.
