Did you guys wrangle any Mantis Shrimp?

I'm glad to see Simon is still at the lodge, a friend of mine regards him as one of the best flats guides in the world.

I can't wait to get back. Stam, K8, myself and a few others are heading to the Ikari House in January for another week of flats insanity. It is a full moon week as well, so our chances at big GT's cruising the flats should be similar to yours. I am still haunted by a few of the ones we saw last year and were unable to connect with.

We do have two spots still open in our trip if anyone is interested. The days are January 14th-21st and the prices are very reasonable for flats fishing in the middle of nowhere.



Crump:

We had "lobster" on the first and last nights. Awesome. Are those the same as the shrimp you refer to?

Had fish including Wahoo, sweet lips, fresh yellowfin sashimi, GT sashimi, and some varieties I couldn't identify. It was all great.

I agree Simon is one of the best people and best guide I ever met. He is patient, knowledgeable, enthusiastic and happy. If i ever get back I will certainly request him again.

C.I. is the place we all daydream of running away to.
