usual outstanding clip you probably need to do a trip to cocos island everything in this clip but bigger plus bumpies

[@Gigharborflyshop]

Jeez, great question. I honestly don’t know why I do it. My way might just be more from habit than the most efficient. Would love others input here.

I fished Christmas Island for 10 days in 1995. We saw no triggerfish and none of the guides or Big Eddy made any mention of fishing for them. What has changed since then? The human population on the island was much lower then and I think the population of bonefish was much greater.

[@Gigharborflyshop]

The population has definitely changed, probably doubled or more. I specifically wanted to fish for triggers so I asked to take us to flats that had them. Not all flats have them and some of the flats with more numerous bonefish don't have as many triggers. If you interested in going back, we'd love for you to join us. gigharborflyshop.com/hosted-travel/christmas-island/

Great video. What was the average length of cast needed for trigger fish.

[@Gigharborflyshop]

I’d say average casts were 40-50 feet. Short casts were as short as 15. Longer casts over 50’ were uncommon and resulted in lots of spooked fish
