Bone Fishing at Christmas Island
Many anglers will have heard of the incredible Bone fishing that is available at Christmas Island in the Pacific Ocean nation of Kiribati.
Fishing enthusiasts from as far away as Australia, Europe and North America travel to the island yearly to wade the pristine waters in search of Bone fish. Very often it is a return visit.
Bone fish are not huge fish but they certainly can put up a fight. Most Bone fish landed are less than 6lb but they feel like 15b whoppers when they take your fly and then take off like a rocket. Many fisherman has been ripped down to the last of his backing before at last turning the fish and starting the long wind in, only to have the fish take off again at the last moment.
Christmas Island is a coral island that has a warm shallow lagoon that is very accessible by locally made outrigger style shallow draft boats. The guides and boatman, local polynesian people, know their waters well and delight in ensuring visiting fisherman land as many fish as possible.
If you would like to vary your fishing you can also chase the many large Giant Trevally (GT) that inhabit the lagoon.
Outside the lagoon are countless Marlin, Wahoo, Sailfish, Yellowfin and others just waiting for their chance to challenge the fisherman.
Christmas Island is almost on the equator so the weather does not change much year round and it does not play a major role in dictating when you visit.
