What about NW WA
That doesn't bother me about keeping the fish.

Nah we would prefer something out of Australia

November should be pretty good for Vanuatu, I was there in July it was windy as and many of the game fish species had shut down, the tuna fishing was excellent but GT's were scarce.
The hotter months are supposedly better for variety.

Last year (August)took the family to Bounty Isalnd in Fiji....Cheap and a step or two above backpacker level but basic, clean and cheap. No retsurnats no kids club, food incldued in accomodation deal. Fished out of the Kyaks for GT's 300m off beach, took the spear gun (which I left with the locals) and got some torut. Snkorling good. You cna organise charters to pick up form the island etc but we just did handline form a small tinny and as I ahd lures we dragged them round the island but no joy. Family trip in two buras wiht food dronks etc for a week a bit over $5k plus airfares
BUT then in october Bergy turned up on my door and took me and my son to Vanuatu on Ocena Blue....WOW. Fishing was hard as it blew its head off but great place, got sails, doggies (sort of), GT, Yellowfin and sharks, sharks and more sharks. I will do vanuatu again but not as cheap as Fiji. Get away from port villa and save some money. Wicked scenary etc and the water is soooooo good

Hope you enjoy wherever you go
