cooktown - reefs

[ric]

To add to Shane's post if you want to target those Trevally try throwing some poppers at them and at the fusilier schools on shallow bommies.

I woke up late this morning and decided to head to the 'Lure Shop' before heading out. Met Nick from this site who works there and my wife had been nagging for a few days now to buy her a popper to try on the reef, since she has seen it done on TV. Well i bought her a popper and to cut a long story short i tested it after tieing on the leader and on the second cast.... GT. They fight harder and faster than anything else i have ever caught. We continued to use the same popper all day with aerobics being performed by mackeral chasing it. Not to mention sight casting to mackeral and GT's too!! Caught a bunch of other fish and a nice tea leaf trev too.

NO Trout yet though!!!!
