Live Bait fishing for GT`S. Dose any one use this techniqe
Scott Schrapel:
Hi All,
How may of you guys fish live baits for GT`S & dead baits????
What rig set ups would you use to fish this technique????
Anny additional info on this type of fishing would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Scott.

I've caught them before live baiting and dead baiting. Used 1 to 1.5 kgs bonito. When live used a very crude system. One 7/0 hook in the top jaw, one 9/0 hook two inches from the tail. Rigged through with wire trace and trolled super slow, 2 or 3 knots. When dead baiting we cut the bonito in half and used the back half tralwed tail first with a single hook in the setup, the wire was tied to the tail as the towing point, with the tail trimmed so it didn't spin. Both live and dead on the down rigger with the reel in freespool till it was taken and then strike..... Caught some nice ones in the 30-40 kgs range like that.

Sorry Scott, but I don't use bait (live or dead) for any sportfishing I do as I'd fall asleep waiting for something to happen ;D
With GT's, for me its only stickbaits or poppers. Its visual, seeing that take is what makes it fun.

I'm with Ken.. Someone once told me try using a fusilier hooked through the eyes with a fast retrieve, it works great with a head assist hook as well! ;) ;D

Must be a smart fisherman that came up with that idea Sunny ;)
i have also been informed that Fusiliers swim better with a treble on the belly ;D ;D
