Hey Adrian,

Looking forward to our trip to Matava. Were booked in from the 17th dec. I am hopefully gonna loose my GT virginity. I have been purchasing a few poppers much to the annoyance of my wife. I wanted to ask how many poppers, knife jigs etc do you think would be enough to bring? and what size knife jigs bring best results?

Adrian Watt:
Hi Sam,
At worst you might lose 3 or 4 poppers in a day but that would be very unusual. Expect to lose maybe one popper a day. I have had guests fish the same popper for 4-5 days and take it home as a (pretty smashed up) trophy....
Jigs - We use 180-220g jigs for general dropping 60-120m on the outer slopes. If you want to try some deeper stuff then look at jigs 300-400g fast sinking. Jigs with silver & lumo pink or lumo yellow work well. Some of the new design octopus / squid type jigs also seem to work quite well here. We carry a few extra poppers and jigs so don't worry about bringing too much.
Looks like you will be the first anglers to fish on the new inshore popper boat !

Sam Cheadle:
Thanks for the Advice Adrian,

I've seen the boat on the Bite Me website and it  looks great Adrian, really hope its available whilst were there.
Cheers Sam

Off to Ono Island (just up the road from Matava) on Wednesday. Looking forward to it - hopefully not too windy.Well stocked up on poppers and jigs.
