Christmas Island - Hosted by Andrew

SEE ITINERARY AND TRIP PLANNER HERE

This is a bucket-list trip for me. I really never thought I would be able to pull it off. For most of my life, I was more comfortable with spending a week in the Alaskan wilderness than a minute anywhere tropical, but one fateful bonefish in Hawaii changed that really quickly. Now, I can't get enough of the flats! Belize to Bahamas, I am in! I am really interested in the remoteness of this place along with the great fishing. Just fishing, no distractions. Bring on the GTs and big bones.

I chose February 4-11, 2025 because its the best time of year to visit a tropical location. We could have gone in a few different spots in 2024, but we really wanted a Jan-March date so we could appreciate the Oregon winters just a little more, from afar.... The fishing (and weather) are great on Christmas Island all year, so its just about picking that ideal time, and February seems like an ideal time to visit the tropics. Plus it should give everyone enough time to get their stuff together.

ALL participants will receive a discount on gear for the trip!

We have a great crew of anglers so far, but we need a few more in order to make it happen. Anyone with a sense of adventure is welcome. Please email or call if you have any questions. Payments and deposits can be handled straight through Flywater Travel. Easy!
