 This Newsletter we get up close and personal with James Koam. James is our deck hand on Horizon and lends a hand on Nevagivup when they are record chasing! He has been with Crusoe Fishing for the last four years and his favourite charters are our live aboard charters up to the Northern Islands. Along with our Skipper Charlie, the boys take you to their islands of Paama and Ambrym to experience cultural life. James now lives in Port Vila with his wife Nancy and seven children!  

Alana Underwood from the Sunshine Coast now holds the new 37Kg Women’s Blue Marlin record with her fish weighing in at 160.6Kg. Alana and her husband Ben went out on Reel Capture on the 15th of June and after hooking 4 Blue Marlin for the day, one being tagged by Ben and unfortunately Alana’s fish ended up tail wrapped after a one hour fight. This fish was Alana’s first Marlin and ended up being a record. Well done Alana!

Here is a very emotive shot of a Peter Pakula Big Eye Lure draped over a Daiwa 50 Kg reel on the back deck of Nevagivup on the way home from a full day’s fishing charter. Although these reels are rarely seen today, in their time they were known as great game fishing performers.
