One of our clients, John Westcott, recently returned from a 6 day adventure on Ono Island. This is the report he emailed me this morning:
‘We were picked up from the airport by the team from Ono upon our arrival. We packed our gear into the boat for the trip to Ono, and 30 minutes into the transfer we came upon a football field-sized school of Yellowfin Tuna and Mahi Mahi (dolphin fish), with Pilot Whales breaching around it and birds diving everywhere! Half an hour of quick fishing and a mad scramble to get rods out of tubes and we had 3 Yellowfin and a Mahi Mahi on board, all within an hour of stepping off the plane! High fives all-round and then we continued on our way to the resort. We all thought, “If it’s going to be like this, it we will have the best trip ever!” Quite simply, it was!
We caught big numbers of GT’s every day, and Red Bass were shouldering each other out of the way to get to the poppers!! A great range of fish were caught; Dogtooth Tuna, GT’s, Red bass,Yellow Fin Tuna, Coral Trout, Walu (Spaniards) and Jobfish to name a few. We were totally worn out at the end of every day from the fishing. Upon arriving back at the resort each afternoon, we were well looked after by Piero’s awesome staff and barely had to lift a finger, other than to ask for one more beer! Remote fishing adventure at it’s best! We had untouched reefs to snorkel on while having a lunch break and resting our aching bones. We will definitely be going back! Oh yeah, the food simply awesome, big thanks to Kara for fantastic meals morning and night!!
I wish to give a big “double thumbs” up to Ocean Blue for organising the best fishing adventure that my three mates and I have ever had!
Below are a few photos of the trip;








Regards, John Westcott and team.’
