Vereker Banks trip

I've been out twice this year and caught fish both times. Although last weekend it was only 2 kawa kawa.

This weekend I am planning a long range trip where we leave on Friday April 28th and come back on Sunday. Anyone interested?

We'll split the cost of fuel and coxswain - I expect the total to be around HK$10,000 for the three day trip. I don't have great sleeping arrangements as there is only one stateroom on my boat. However, there is couch space for 3 and a very large salon floor for sleeping bags.

The goal of the trip is to get to Vereker Banks and troll the drop offs and anchor up that night in 30 meters of water to jig and fish. We will bottom bounce and fish bait at night while anchored on the Vereker Bank and may stop during the day Saturday to fish structure.

Sunday we'll fish all the way back to Hong Kong with an arrival sometime Sunday night.

This online chart of the S. China Sea from Macau to Taiwan shows the Vereker Banks (N. and S. bank) as well as Pratas Reef:
