Topwater Caranx Ignobilis: Giant Trevally (GT) > Tackle & Techniques
Location strategy - peninsula and shallow reef
Warwick Joyce:
I think with any new spot, you will need to fish it on both tides to find where the fish hang. This is true for a number of spots we fish (Travis and Graham) rock bars that fish good with the tide running one direction and not so good with the tide running the other, despite still looking good.
It will be interesting to hear Andrews feed back after fishing this spot.
Travis Heaps:
Also dont fall into the trap of only fishing the prime spots on the prime tides...yeah youre hookup to cast ratio will be a lot better but you may also miss some spots n fish in unexpected locations. I know one of Warwicks best fish locally came from a bay id continue to drive past today if i hadnt been there to see the two gts blast out to smash that lure!
Mark Harris:
I really like this discussion idea. Would be great to see more opinions coming in.
Ben Furness:
I would probably head to G1 regardless of which way the tide was running.
Andrew Susani:
Well I am not sure if I will be fishing this location anytime soon... there are so many other places which are closer to home ;)
I agree with the comment about fishing unlikely looking spots - almost all of our bigger fish have come from a spot so unlikely that we have only just started fishing it after 4 years of living here ::)
My favourite spot would be a good one to discuss here because I know it very well, but I can't post it up here because that would give the game away ;) It fishes very differently on different tides but some of the places that the fish come from are real eye openers. There can be bait schools and current in one spot, but repeated casts into that area produce nothing. Move 30m away into a completely sterile looking section and whammo, there is a fish!
I am VERY keen to have some of the Oman/Bali/Maldives guides put up some opinions on these location strategies... I will post one soon with an outer reef channel and deep water... maybe that will get a bite from them ;D
