We both said to ourselves that we would not\u00a0expect too much from this trip after the disappointment of a Fijian\u00a0GT popping trip we did last year which yielded very little fish.<\/p>\n<p>This trip itinerary was to fish two days in La Foa and two days in\u00a0Bourail. We exited the arrivals gate and was met by Etienne and\u00a0straight away he tells us his throttle cable has snapped\u00a0in the\u00a0morning while launching his own boat and cant be fixed by tomorrow. Inside\u00a0I&#8217;m going NOOOOOOO!! But Etienne says no problem, we fish four days in\u00a0Bourail on Manu&#8217;s boat.<\/p>\n<p>Even though we didn&#8217;t land any monsters, and by monsters i mean 40kg+, we were so satisfied by the 3rd fishing day we didn&#8217;t fish the 4th\u00a0and decided to be tourists in Noumea.<\/p>\n<p>But there were monsters out there, Dat managed to break Etienne&#8217;s PE10\u00a0rod and i broke 80lb braid trying to set the hooks on one of the GT&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>I tell you these guys, Etienne and Manu are absolute champions. Very\u00a0professional, very passionate about trying to get us our dream fish. I\u00a0think they were more disappointed than us when we lost fish, and we\u00a0lost alot.\u00a0All you could hear in the background all day from Manu &#8221; no slack no\u00a0slack please&#8221; then Etienne &#8221; OH NOOOO! S!:*t<\/p>\n<p>Manu, Stephanie and Choko their dog run an excellent lodge, very\u00a0comfortable and plenty to eat.<\/p>\n<p>Etienne stayed with us the whole trip, prepared and cleaned our\u00a0fishing gear each day. Nothing was a problem. When we decided to have\u00a0a look in Noumea, even though he didn&#8217;t have to and wasn&#8217;t part of the\u00a0trip, he drove us around Noumea showed us the sites and dropped us off\u00a0at the hotel. And if that wasn&#8217;t enough he picked us up in the morning\u00a0and drove us to the airport.<\/p>\n<p>Fishing 10\/10<\/p>\n<p>Service 12\/10<\/p>\n<p>Thanks Ocean Blue and your team Etienne, Manu, Steph and Choko<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy the video<\/p>\n<p>Tu Tran<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"GT POPPING\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nRkM2oZxbWA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My cousin Dat and I had booked this trip some six months ago and finally the day arrived.
