Recent Whitsunday GT captures!

Hi,

Here's some recent captures of GT caught in the Whitsunday islands.

All fish were caught on debarbed Nomad Ulua's stickbaits, Nomad Cubera poppers, Halco Roosta Haymaker poppers and a Carpenter Anthias popper.

The outfits that landed them were an 8000 Shimano Stella with a 10kg - 15kg T-Curve Bluewater spin rod, 80lb Fins braid and 120 to 150lb leader.

We've found that pausing the stickbait or popper more often in the retrieve is a good way to improve the hookup rate as the GT bite with more accuracy.

Most of the GT were caught with a 'pop, pop, pause' type retrieve on the poppers and a downwards stab of the rod with a sharp stop on the stickbaits. This makes them move about very fast on the suface and also keeps them from tumbling over.

We have upgraded our GT outfits to a 10000 & 180000 Stella SW with a Tcurve GT Special & a 15kg - 25kg Tcurve Bluewater spin rod. They are awesome outfits! One image is attached of them.

Thanks,
