Adrian Watt:
Just had our first look of the summer season with poppers along Kadavu Island's Great Astrolable Barrier Reef. Not really summer yet and the conditions were not ideal but plenty of bites from fish around the 15-20kg range. Our angler Tony was new to popper casting but had geared himself up well with a HOTS and Saltiga Dogfight and did very well in a fair breeze. He released a couple of nice GTs pushing 40kg and deckie Joe released his new PB with a 30kg fish. Not bad for a season opener little look.
Interestingly, Tony's Dogfight crapped out on us. The reel started front loading line and when we had a closer look, we found metal scoring all around the outside of the spool and a hairline crack on one of the bail support struts. Never seen that before !

Sam Conacher:
awesome,  i wish that was my lifestyle.

Scott Maybury:
Getting me fired up for January Adrian! The boys are pumped too

Tony doesn't look like a small fella, couple if nice fish there, bring it on!

Peter Morris:
