Greg will show members why Christmas Island is considered one of the top salt water flats fishing destinations in the world. The atoll surrounds a pristine lagoon with stunning beaches, extensive bird life and a friendly Micronesian culture. Within the lagoon are bone fish and a variety of trevally species.
