Hi Aaron ,

None taken so no worry here , target fishes keep on increasing so I keep on learning , it started with GT/RedBass  and followed by YFT/Skipjacks and Mahi-mahi/Queenfish/Threadfin salmon and now Sailfish .

I heard from a friend in Sydney that Kingfish in Lord Howe island are susceptible to small lures and a few dogtooth tunas have been caught using popper , likewise sharks although these are what I still term as
" colateral " catches .

Peter Morris:
Would be pretty spectacular to watch a sail smash a popper!!!.... :o
Your heart would be going... :D

I agree....Anything large that smashes poppers is awesome fishing.

Well done

Pete

Peter Lowe:

Hi Peter ,

I think Australia has the biggest potential for target fishes that can be caught by using casting technique , most of them are still undiscovered and it's just a matter of time before they will be a change in the angling scenes in Australia from predominantly trolling to something else , such as casting n jigging .

As for sailfish popping , I am pretty sure the Western Australian anglers will try this technique at Broome , after all Mark Rochfort has been
to Rompin and had reasonable success in his first ever trip there .

You guys are lucky and Australia is a Lucky Country ...... !

Peter Lowe:
Hi Jon,

I could'nt agree more, I for one pretty much exclusivly use poppers now for all species, I've caught snapper,bream,whiting,flathead, wahoo,longtoms,yakka,kings,trevors,squid,sharks,dugong :o -by accident of course - and more, all on poppers - I love this technique with its a visual strike and they always release well and alive, as I rarley eat fish -  I have seen on a number of occasions black marlin chase my bigger poppers all the way to the boat all lit up but i cannot seem to get a hook up.


Australia sure is the lucky country.....
