Having just returned from Christmas Island to snow, freezing rain, and slush, I can now take some time to reflect back on how amazing this last trip was. We did a repeat of our trip last year, timing it around the tides, and stayed at the Ikari House. We booked this trip with Frigate Adventure Travel and co-hosted 16 guests.

Fishing this year was incredible. The average bonefish size increase over the previous year and is expected to continually increase due to harvest restrictions. Since 2007 locals have managed strict catch and release practices on bonefish to help increase size and thus increase tourism, their main source of income for the island.

This year the Ikari House was stacked with all the best guides on Christmas Island. Moana, English, Simon, Russel, and other famous CXI guides are all now staffed at the Ikari House, making it the best fishing destination on Christmas Island. Lodging and food was top notch, for Christmas Island, including hot water and air conditioning. The weather was great and fishing for Trevally, Bonefish, and Wahoo was un-real.
