Using minnows for GTs

[Brandon Khoo]

I reckon pretty much anything works on GTs when they are feeding. That said, I think what I am suggesting might be getting away from "popping" in the pure sense of the word!

will a big kastmaster or casting jig work?

I haven't been on the site for a few days and when I log on I am confronted by this.

I second Lukes notion, this is "utter sacrilege" .

Brandon of all people you should know better. As moderator I think you should severely reprimand yourself. I don't care how big a GT is, the catch does not count unless it is caught on a surface lure cast and retrieve.

This is not the way of the Jedi, change you must. Evil it is  .

[Brandon Khoo]

I'll do anything to catch a big GT!!

If you really want to be horrified, come to Shoalwater next year and see what I am going to do. I managed to convince one of the guides when I was there that next year, we're going to cheat. Instead of charging out there, we're going to go catch ourselves a few fusiliers or other small critter and then we're going to troll them along the cliff faces on a really heavy jigging rod like a Jigging Master Monster on 130lb braid. I'll be sitting in the cage at the back of the dory ready to lock up and see if we can drag it out into deep water.

If I am successful, what we can do is take the hook out of its mouth and put a popper in there instead.....   

I think I am going to get sin-binned...........



Actually, I was amazed when I was in Vanuatu recently and the captain of the boat we were on told us that it was quite a common practice for fishing journalists to catch fish on live bait and put the jig in its mouth for photos.

Thats really lame what some journalists will do.

mate, you've got to give me a break. I'm desperate - there is simply no way I'm going to land a really huge one in the areas I fish unless I get a little more innovative!!

[Che Carson]

But if you do are you really going to be able to claim it as a legitimate capture .

Luke I think maybe we should cut him some slack, maybe we could direct him to a more appropriate site. Maybe one that deals with feather chucking  .
