![]() ![]() ![]() We had a 20 Nautical mile sail in great conditions. We left Fakarava Atoll with Sequel leading the charge and Backbeat and Squander following. Simon and Moji took an afternoon to hire some bikes and tour the island. That evening The Ashleys put on on a big dinner and we mixed it up with the whole crew from Khamzin and Squander creating a party of 15 aboard Backbeat. The next day we visited Sophie’s vege stall to get some fresh supplies. Sophie on the far right and the local femmes…. It was her day off and she invited Moji for drinks with the local girls. She built herself a little house and setup a vegetable stall out the front. Whilst still in Fakarava, our newest crew member, Moji went ashore and befriended Sophie, a French girl who had had enough of the rat race in Paris and moved to this Atoll some 3 years ago. I personally would love to spend 3-4 months exploring these amazing islands, with clear warm water, steady trade winds, an abundance of fish, seafood, deserted beaches, perfect waves, world class scuba diving, kite boarding, windsurfing, spear fishing and most of all friendly, welcoming people. At some of the lakes, the bluegill fishing has been getting better on live crickets and cane poles.The Tuamotu has been everything we could have imagined and more. Use caution and watch for signage warning about fishing before engaging. Some of the freshwater lakes are heating up to the point where algae blooms are beginning, like at Lake Washington. Speckled trout will be in 2-3 feet of water and will hit topwater lures. As ambush predators, the snook will be lying on the bottom waiting for food to drift by them. Look for moving water to dial in on snook. Bridge pilings, dock pilings, seawalls, rocky shorelines all hold fish. Indian River Lagoonįish the structure in the lagoon to catch sheepshead and black drum. Sheepshead and snapper are being caught from the catwalks under the bridge and the T Dock. Redfish can also be caught from south jetty. Snook are taking shrimp and live baits from the reef and north side of north jetty. Anglers are reminded that fishing from north jetty is a privilege not a right. Snook have been the main catch for anglers fishing from the jetties. Jacks, trout, redfish and snook have been other catches possible in the same area. Use live shrimp either freelined or under a popping cork. Shallow water is helping anglers dial in on schools of big fish working the lagoon and northern Indian River Lagoon. ![]()
