A little louder that the Catalina rod that Dave was using, have you made up your mind on what your going to replace it with? I still have that Tokara if your interested? But only as a last resort, Duncan has probably already got something in store for you.

Haha yep it certainly went out with a bang. Haven't decided yet, I'll wait to hear back from Duncan but I'll let you know.

Personallyt for myself the smaller poppers sucn as the Craftbait GT2's were the stand out lures, i did not get any fish on stickbaits ( orion 140, 180 or dogtooth 150), other guys on the trip were successful on the dogtooth 100 especially, Jay & Aaron did have some luck on there orions.

Another lure which did raise some fish was the Full Scale Big 180, but only managed 2 fish from this lure, i know that other people had good luck on larger lures like the Ebi Pops but the smaller poppers worked for me on this week, I can not work out why larger lures did not work for me, i suppose it just depends on there area's that you fish on certain days.

I agree with Brock that the smaller lures definitely got more fish on this trip, some guys were throwing 80g dogtooth with good success. I did well on both poppers (Masterd Bomb 155g in particular), stickbaits and swimming lures like the Patriot XTX. On the rough days, anything which swam sub-surface outfished the surface lures for me by a fair margin. On the calm days it didn't seem to matter so much, poppers, fizzers, stickbaits & swimming lures all worked.

Robert Palcak:
Sounds like an awesome trip guys!

Jay - I'm just wondering about the KD... do you know what happened to cause it to break? Was it faulty, damaged somehow, or did you just go a bit hard? I guess there's a few of us on here that have KD's and it's a bit un-nerving seeing one break, so I'm wondering if there's anything we should be avoiding/looking out for to avoid failure?
Looks like you still landed the fish with a broken rod... champion effort!

Scott Maybury:
Geeeeez, I got a little shiver down my spine seeing that KD like that, major respect for still landing the fish though!
