Maybe we can all get together and have the weirdest BFW Fish-IN ever!!!!!
Just to chuck in my ten penneth about the companies operating and my reasons for going with NPH.
Lake Nasser Adventure have the supply ship as an additional extra so that has to be factored into the cost. That means you`re living, eating, sleeping on a 28ft fishing boat! A bit cramped! Also, tackle is extra which also bumps up the cost.
African Angler are the best known company on the lake but they`ve lost most of their top skippers, Ramadan (Fox), probably the number one skipper on Nasser now owns a supermarket in Aswan! A.A are based in Aswan so if you`re doing the most convenient (and cheapest) flight to Egypt which drops you in Luxor theres transfer fees to get down to Aswan. Also, tackle and lure hire is extra and this really bumps up the cost of the trip. If you want to fish with Mohammed (John Wilsons guide) they charge you extra but Mohammed doesn`t see any of this!
NPH will get you from Luxor to Aswan then give you the gear and lures as part of the package. It makes a massive difference to the overall price of a trip.
Believe me, when one of the truly big fish rises and clamps down on a lure it scares the hell out of you. I`ve been lucky in raising three of these monsters (the one three weeks ago left me shaking) but so far the sods have just clamped the lure then spat it out.........next time they won`t be so lucky!!!!!!!!
Sorry for the hijack Jez!
