A nice size GT saves the day.....09-10-07

[Pistol_P]

Went for a throw this afternoon in the river landbased.....
Found it tough going at some of the regular spots with boats,dogs jumping in the water and swimmers.....The river still seems very busy....
First started throwing poppers across some sand flats to see if I could nail another whiting but was no go.....
Moved across to Munna bridge to a spot where I saw a nice diamond trevally get caught the day before.....But still couldnt get a hit.....
The afternoon wasnt looking good so I moved to a sneaky little spot that has caught me some good fish before.
Worked the ever faithfull rapala skitterpop across the surface and second cast....BOOF... ....Line absolutely screamed off in what was one of the best fights I have had from the trevally in the river.
The fish swum with the incoming tide and was very hard to turn on the light gear.
Turned out to be a good size GT for the river.

Cheers

Nice GT Pete. I still love reading these Trevally reports so keep them coming!

Any ideas on what lb line you were using tho?

[ffejsmada]

That is a good sized GT Pete, well done.
I ended up with only the one Tailor at 40cm. Had quite a few follows and touches from Trevors and Queenies but they didn't seem real hungry.

Cheers Jeff.

Great fish mate, love the trevors. Did he give a few grunts when you got him out of the water?
