Hi David,
We arrived home safe and sound, but very sad to have to leave Ono. We had an absolutely amazing experience and although we had very high expectations of the trip – they were exceeded on all accounts!! Piero is an absolutely first rate guy and together with Johnny so knowledgeable and great at passing on their knowledge. He has done a great job with the people he has there and no reasonable person could fail to be blown away by the location, the people and the fishing.
We caught Yellowfin, GT, bluefin trevally, red bass, coral trout, cod, emperor (and a quite large shark on a popper!) – and for total novices at this kind of fishing it was an awesome and eye opening experience. My son caught his first trevally within 15 mins of getting off the plane in Vunisea – amazing! All three of us have memories and experiences that we will carry for a lifetime.
As my first experience at this type of fishing I’m now totally addicted – I will without a shadow of a doubt be returning to Ono – just have to work out my timing. I would like to thank you for putting us onto Ono island and the excellent and personal service I have enjoyed throughout the whole experience. I’ll touch base with you re another trip, might try and make it for the Wahoo season!
Cheers, Stuart Smith
