G'day,

A few mates and I are looking to take an overseas fishing trip at the
end of 2004. Probably over Christmas and New Years. The last few
years, we have gone up and down the east coast of Australia and we
want to venture overseas this year. We were tossing the idea around on
our last holiday (Shoal Bay, NSW) and thought that Bali or somewhere
in Indonesia would be a good idea.


Couldn't think of a worse place to go to try and a catch fish. The
majority of the Indo archipelago has been virtually fished out. Why do you
think they are constantly breaching our boarders to fish. Besides, Xmas /
New year, at this (tropics) part of the year is "wet season" and cyclones
abound, and the fishing is erratic, if you can even get to go out. Been
there, done that. Try Papua New Guinea, black bass & Spot tail Bass, as well
as other monster pelagics are still in huge quantities up there, but fish
any tropical region AFTER the wet season (April to Nov ). Cheers.
