C.F.O. Thompson and Party!


Our second group for the season was special as we had an old friend on board who was after some Andaman GT. We on our first trip to the Andaman Islands ever were accompanied by Gordon Thompson who at that time had vast experience and knowledge on fishing in Coastal waters of the Indian peninsular. Gordon, this time was accompanied by his buddies Anand and Praveen who were both keen on landing some decent fish.

Anand's weapon of choice was the Tailwalk Gunz that he fished very effectively. Above he tries to turn a GT hell bent on heading straight back to the reef.




Anand with his prize GT, the first of this size for him after a well fought battle. A quick couple of pictures later the fish was released to swim back to the reef it came from.






Praveen and Gordon both with nice GT.




Praveen casting to structure as we drift along a beautiful Island with lush tropical jungle growing on volcanic rock. The Andaman Islands are stunning to look at while fishing and are a balm for sore eyes.




A prize for hard work!








Gordon and group wanted to mix the action with a bit of popping and trolling. Above some of the fish caught trolling hard bodied swimming lures.




The trip was an enjoyable laid back one with some nice fish and as always it's a pleasure to fish with friends.
