i fished the mouth of maroochy sunday arvo trying to get a whitting on popper. i worked the hole place 4 hours with only a few rizes and missed hits untill just as the sun was going down i got slamed by a big one (40cm eazy) and hey hey it hooked up yess, i fort the fish to the bank only to have it drop off at the last second. grrrrrrrrrr sh$t f_-$% bloody f%$^ mongrell fish, i was pritty cut and i could not get a nother one to hook up so i turned my attention to some more stinken bream. on the first cast i was nailed by a stonker bream again eazy in the 40's and half way in and he crushes the trebble on the wee pop r and gets away, nooooooo no no no no. the next few casts and i was on again but to a baby, yes im on the board. i then got 2 more on the pop r about 25cm but the pics did not turn out to well. i them got smashed again by a nother monster but it could not find the hooks even after hitting it about 6 times, so my hart was in my mouth most of the time untill the fish wised up and i had to go home.

hahaha yer and it be full of baby jacks. dude maybe you could come out with me again and show me how to land one or a few of them pesky tings . its driving me crazy, i just gotta nail one

Keep trying nugg. They can be very frustrating to hook on poppers at times. But they can inhale them on occasions also. Super sharp owner size 10 trebbles on the pop'rs are a good investment too. Ben
