Kerguelen Island.
Anybody know anybody who has fished there?

Galileo did not know about internet forums.

Um ... I have to admit I struggled to determine within which of our geographic forums your post should actually go in! And I think you're probably right in plumping for General. They really do sound remote - http://www.btinternet.com/~sa_sa/ker...n_islands.html !

The further South any of our Club members have fished is the Falkland Islands for Sea Trout, but they're an introduced species. And commercially there does seem to be a significant fishery for Squid in that part of the world but Kerguelen .... um.
It would be fascinating to hear what does turn up if you're fortunate to get a posting to the islands.
