My Mood:  Rep Power: 10   | Maldives 10th to 18th Jan 2007 Jean Jacques, our good friend from Israel has organized a trip to fish in Maldives on Jan 11th to 18th 2007. Finally the day has come and on board of our safari boat Noorani 2 is Jean Jacques, Albert, Guy, Vincent and I (Edy). Vincent and myself boarded Noorani 2 on the 10th since our flight landed the night before Jean Jacques flight. First thing we got was the welcome drink from our cook. It was a nice tropical mix fruit juice. The next morning we met with Jean Jacques and his friends, we went to Male town to purchase groceries, cooking pan and some sinkers for light bottom fishing at night. Walked passed by a fish market and there were sailfish, plenty of wahoos, yellow fin tuna and a bunch of other reef fish. This trip we were fishing down south and our very first fish was a Wahoo which was caught on a Halco Laser Pro 190 Deep Diver lure and of course this fish ended up as our Sashimi J For the next few days we had fun on jigs, poppers and lures during one of the nights, my Seven Seas rod break when I got a solid hook up while jigging . Guy is our perfect cook with very nice French and Israel style of food, Albert with his Oh Pita and of course Jean Jacques the perfect organizer! To cut the story short (also my own short term memory loss) The following is the breakdown of fish which we landed using different fishing methods Trolling: Wahoo, Yellow Fin Tuna, Dorado Jigging: Red Bass, Green Job Fish, Rosy Job Fish, Giant Trevally, Big Eye Jack, Skipjack, Dogtooth Tuna, Coral Trout, Amberjack, Grouper, Wahoo Popping: Giant Trevally, Green Job Fish, Coral Trout, Red Bass, Skip Jack, Barracuda, Blue Fin Trevally Bottom: Morray Eel, Red Bass, Big Eye Jack, Bat Fish During this trip we had lost some really big fish due to slipped knot, broken rod, cut leader Popping: Huge Giant Trevally taken on popper unfortunately the FG knot give way, split rings opened and leader burst. Jigging: 130 pound leader was cut, unknown knot slipped, improper hookup, a Seven Seas rod was broken near the butt area. Trolling: a 2KG bonito as bait, the leader was cut. The biggest fish for this trip (landed) is a 30KG Giant Trevally and smallest was a 10 grams reef fish both caught on poppers J On our last day of the trip, we went to Rihiveli and Guili Islands. On the Rihiveli Island, we played table tennis and had our sumptuous buffet lunch with a bottle of red wine. J This is a very beautiful island and most of the visitors on this resort are from France. We could walk from one island to another one in the sea waist length. Beautiful beaches, a school of milkfish cruising around. We encountered a school of Dolphins near the Atoll as well. Another Island is Guili Island where we had our small shopping for some souvenirs (coconut husk bag, sea shell necklace, t shirts and etc) I would like to thank Jean Jacques for organizing this trip, Vincent for being the mate going with me to Maldives even though he just returned from Perth Samson trip, Guy and Albert for their wonderful company. I have included the contact information for Noorani 2 and its charges on this thread. PS. I have limited number of pictures due to battery outage on my own camera. Waiting for more pictures and videos from the rest of the team. I will post it once i have received them.

My Mood: Rep Power: 10 | Re: Maldives 10th to 18th Jan 2007 Hi Ade, It was SevenSeas - amberjack muroto revival, unfortunately the broken part is gone when the braided line is cut because the fish was "running" for its life. Cheers, Edy
