The Search Tahiti tells the story of a couple of guys in the search for new Bonefish waters, which they found.

The Bonefish in Rangiroa, French Polynesia was above all expectations.

Many fishermen during the season spent hours hovering over several maps trying to find new verging waters. These guys did the same and found there Bonefish paradise in Rangiroa, French Polynesia.

The fun thing with this adventure is that they had no idea if there were any Bonefish in this area. The whole trip could be a wild goose chase! But that was not the case, they were overwhelmed by the size and strength of the Bonefish they came across in Rangiroa.

The foc us is on finding bonefish and when they finally reach the atoll in the waters of Rangiroa, it does not take them long to find the fish, with multiple breakages and losses, mainly as a result of the coral "bommies" studding the lagoon.

With 10 weights becoming the main weapons needed both due to the size of the fish encountered and the need to keep them away from the coral, there is a nice selection of fish shown with some breaking the magical 10lb barrier and of course the background scenery is also stunning. There is something about Polynesian light that seems to have a certain clarity about it - probably thanks to the lack of pollution that we are habituated too here in 'civilisation'.
