Here is an excerpt from the newsletter:

Shoalwater Bay 2007 
UNBELIEVABLE GT action is the only way to describe this week. We fished the lead up to the full moon in April with George Pang, Steve Kakavas, Brandon Khoo and Peter Edwards fishing alongside our guides Damon, Tim, Ed, Liam and Jason. Biggest GT hooked was around 55kgs, and there were many of these. Brandon Khoo hooked up 4 monsters in the last 2 days to get the unlucky bugger of the week award. There were many personal best GTs landed, and the average fish size was between 25 - 30kgs, with many 40kg to 50kg fish seen every day. The number and size of the G's at this location is astonishing.

Andrew Poulos:
Has anyone seen that new DVD on Shoalwater?

Brandon Khoo:
I'm the unlucky bugger in question   :'(

I hooked one GT that looked around 55kg and then the escapee from Jurassic Park which kicked my butt was noticeably bigger. I have no idea how big this one was. I've seen big fish but this was ridiculous. All this was within about twenty minutes of each other. I lost my last five fish of the trip in a row but the last one was only a "midget" around 35kg BUT it was a jet black coloured one which i really wanted.

That's what happens when you start discussing about using minnows for GTS :P

Brandon Khoo:
but I only did it AFTER Shoalwater. I must have been punished for thinking about it when I was out there already   :o

I better be careful if I am so transparent with my thoughts lest I get arrested!!   ;D
