CHRISTMAS ISLAND
In 1985, Christmas Island provided the first salt water flats experience for my son, Scott, and I. It still serves as one of the world’s best destinations for a “first-timers” salt water flats trip. Also, many veteran anglers have been returning here for several years to pursue the island’s bonefish and trevally.
Christmas is famous for it’s large numbers of 3 - 6 pound bonefish with double digit fish possible. The trevally can be huge, especially the giant trevally. GT’s (giant trevally) over 50 pounds have been taken via the fly on the flats. Offshore fishing is also available if a change of pace is welcome during your week.
Accommodations and general ambiance could best be described as “South Pacific Island style” – pretty basic. You won’t find anything comparable to the luxury resorts and spas in Fiji.
Christmas Island is the world’s largest coral atoll with an area of 248 square miles, about half of which is lagoons and flats. It’s located just north of the equator, about 1,300 miles south of Hawaii.
