Pro Angler - Fishing Tackle Direct

CHRISTMAS ISLAND, THE PRO-ANGLER PACKAGE:

Your trip starts with a flight to Nadi, Fiji, to wait for the midnight departure for the connection to Christmas Island with Air Pacific. The flight to Christmas Island is about 4 hours, arriving at 6.30am on a Wednesday morning. You will be met at the airport by our guide, who will drive you to the lodge. The rest of the day can be spent recovering from the flight, checking your fishing gear or we can arrange a shorter into session to get off the mark.

The fishing is all by recommendation: the guide will either suggest shore or flats fishing via boat access. You can request either! The boat is a comfortable 30-foot "local" (with roof for sun protection) with a local boatman at the helm. There will be one guide available for every two fishermen. A personal guide can be arranged for a fee ($100 per day). Our fishing times are flexible, so if you want an extra early start, let us know the day before!

The food is good and ample: the evening meal will consist of mostly fish (NOT BONEFISH, but tuna, wahoo or sweetlip), with plenty of vegetables, etc. Meat is also served regularly: chicken, pork and beef are flown in from Hawaii... Lobster can be a special treat! Lunch is gourmet sandwiches, packed in the esky (with plenty of chilled bottled water), and breakfast is a large cooked American style meal.

Soft drinks and beer can be purchased at reasonable rates (an honesty system). For mixers, please let us know, and we will do our best to obtain these, but better to buy duty free on the way.

The accommodation is comfortable: there are three air-conditioned rooms with two single beds each. There are en-suite bathrooms, with hot water available. There is an outside area to sit and relax after the day’s fishing. Fresh water rinsing facilities are available for yourself and your gear, and a washing service is all there for you!

All the transport is by covered truck, with padded seats. At the end of the week's fishing, you will be transported back to the airport for your flight home. So... a quick summary of the costs involved:
