Hi GT and Topwater enthusiasts, Dave Claridge here and I have recently returned from an absolutley epic fishing charter in virgin, untapped territory in Tonga at the Sea Change Fishing Charters eco-resort and was absolutley blown away by the experience so muchi have forsaken all fishing in NZ and am heading there for two weeks ,twice a year now in Sept and June
Please share to interested parties

I am looking for team mates, 1-3 spots available in Sept 2023 between 20th and 30th (TBA, 7 or 8 day return trip but connecting flights make that a little last minute).but working on 5-6 nights on Uoleva Island
Contact me for costs but the package setup excluding flights is here

I am looking for fisho's to join me single,double or triple bookings, I can take max three extras each trip but best packages are for 2 per boat, (max 4 this year anyway).
there are 1-3 slots available this year in Sept as i was going to go solo, for June 2024 I have 1 spot only left for 3rd week June ,2 spots for second trip 4th week June
The GT's are tremendous, i have hooked the 50-60kg mark, but good luck landing one, and lots of hits on the big poppers or off the beach or jigging, anything is possible including Wahoo, Big Bass, Mahimahi, Dogtooth, Spanish Macks, all tuna and more, quite simply its all new ground and the packages are very flexible. Fishing off the beach or reefs on the light tackle is awesome but the potential for a massive Dogtooth on a deep mounts is another world all together.
The beauty and tranquility mixed with fishermans exhileration and heartbreak that comes with it the package is really affordable with lots of options to increase or decrease your daytrips and expenditure
Gordon Sutherland is our fishing guide,incrediby experienced around Pacific and NZ ,he is also class top chef as wellas the Snapper world record holder so i can gurantee awesome stories, education and excellent food and drinks abound and accomodation is very,very comfortable. Theres a reason I am the one often taking the photo's when I fish with him as the bu**er is a weapon, I want someone else to fish with to make me look good !!
Personally, I bought a budget PE8 setup last trip, snapped it on day two, now all my GT gear is PE10, its that tough up there but we get hammered on the poppers and then its all on ,and around the islands are snorkelling, beach, manta rays and all sorts, maybe even a whale or two this Sept
Please get in contact with me, text please (I cant take calls in the day on mobile) or write to me , I am not after a p**s trip but I am sure the bar will take your money!!!!
Flights at an Estimate, 1200.00 return inc tranfers etc, fishing resort packge anywhere from 3k to 6k depending what we do but looking at 4k target
Gear can be supplied, but advice too if you bring your own.
Get in touch guys, you may never see untapped fishing like this go for the price and service again.
