This is Muli island in the Maldives, absolutely stunning with beautiful local people who really care about their island, keep it pristine and teach their children to keep it pristine. In the first photo (can’t see it there) there is a famous wave 🌊 to the left of the shot called ‘muli’s’ (obviously), there is world class diving and snorkeling around the walls and off the drops, tidal flats with incredible sea grass and coral like I have never seen anywhere in my life, boiling with all sorts of fish including GT’s, Bones and triggers. Beautiful- beaches, surfing, snorkeling/diving, flats fishing and deep sea fishing. I honestly don’t know what more you could want in a holiday... and you can stay here for a fraction of the price of one of the vast horrible and weird resorts that cover this country and do all the aforementioned activities for almost nothing in comparison. Muli was really beautiful, if you ever want to go, a good place to start and source of local knowledge would be @amberjack1412 and he is also an excellent fishing guide and surfer!

Wonderful morning out popping with @amberjack1412 for some unbelievably strong Maldivian GT’s, it gets better-

Screen Shot 2018-05-10 at 20.26.26.png The highlight of the day! 🌟Ivor spent a month with me recently in the Andaman's and never managed to land a GT, he was convinced he was totally jinxed, and then he goes and gets this absolute f**ing Maldivian belter today then another beauty 4 casts later! Great to see that expression on his face finally seeing what it’s all about after getting steamed by this train, pulled the wire clean through the popper while pulling the boat round in circles - then in the next photo he looks like a seasoned pro, laughing away, he then started telling me how to work the lure shortly afterwards 😀. Catching fish yourself is great but there is nothing better than seeing your good friends doing it well! Well done Ivor! 🙌👏🐋🎣 and thanks again to @amberjack1412
