With the crazy amount of GTs here in lower Qld back in May I thought it was time to go and see what all the fuss was about, I have done a lot of jigging and LBG fishing but never targeted GTs.
With a couple of days of good weather in the picture the plan has hatched.
Stu was first up with a nice one to get the ball rolling.
Things slowed down with only a couple more follows over the next few hours, and then they come back on the bite.
Stu with the second GT for the trip.
After a couple more drifts Stu was soon into another solid fish, a short painful battle and this beast come to the boat.
The next day the weather was unbelievable.
After checking out some other spots with things a little quiet we were hoping to get another good bite like the following day, we persisted when they finally come on the bite.
After a painful little battle my first GT was boated.
Only a few more cast after that and number two was in the boat, a lot smaller but still fought hard.
It was only another dozen or so casts and I was hooked into another fish, by the time we got this one in the boat I was starting to think this popping is hard work.
After a couple of days on the water we had landed three GTs each and lost a few more to the reefs below, cant wait to get back out there !
Tackle used was Jigging Master Monster 7'8 popper rods with 10,000 and 18,000 size stella's, a mixture of poppers and stick baits were used but when they were on the bite you could have chucked anything at them.
