u the man george! that GT is huuugggee!!
Thanks Guys,
Seriously the one I got toasted by was a fair bit bigger!
Klieny, the fish was caught at the breaksea spit.
Fritzy, the fish was caught on a bills bug 150 popper. I have had success with OK poppers, River2sea dumbell, Torpedo, Lively lures big GT. Some are in the pic.
Mick, when the time is right...grasshopper we'll head out after some billies.
Manacubus, The reel is a STL10000FA. 14kg is no probs for that reel, the problem you have is holding on!
Goona, I headed out of urangan, and camped at wathumba (25nm) and then to rooneys (15nm) and then onto breaksea spit. The fishing starts at about 15nm from rooneys. The shallow reefs are about 10-20m deep.
KWS, they were almaco amberjack. I trolled skirts over the top of a pinnacle and had a double strike, where I saw one about 15kg. It was over pretty quick, 2 pakulas stuck on the bottom. I destroyed a jigging rod, trying to lift them of the shallow pinnacle. Bastards! >
cheers
George
great fish mate! I was wondering why u remove the back treble and replace it with a blade?
If you wish to learn more about reading and getting the most from your Lowrance units or learning more about fishing with artificial baits I will come out in the comfort of your own boat for one on one coaching. Please call for more information.
Why-ting,
I put blades on the back to increase drag on the rear. The problem with big poppers is they need a lot of power to make a big boof. Sometimes the popper blows out, particularly in roughj conditions, and comes flying back, decreasing time in the water and chances of raising a fish. The drag on the rear decreases this and makes it track and pop much better.
Some of the japanese poppers have a metal shield or "parachute" on the rear just for this purpose.
The other plus is it adds flash, which helps raise fish.
Cheers
George
Hey George good to see you are out fishing again. Was that fish from Mongo XT?
This is what could have been last year! Did you have a problem with the Daiwa as I see you have changed? (I hear there is a new 2006 Stella on the way!)
Work is ruling my life at present but I may be in Melbourne for a wedding in March.
Take care
ollie
