Topwater Caranx Ignobilis: Giant Trevally (GT) > Tackle & Techniques

Your best bit of advice

Jay Burgess:
Some lucky anglers will land the monster of their dreams in half a dozen casts and some will spend an entire lifetime with all the best reels, rods, lures, line & leader and never find that fish... my best advice is to go there with an open mind, don't set your expectations too high and have an amazing time  8)

Kasey Leong:
If it looks like death.... cast in there!  ;D

Kamalu Charlot:
All good advice I would add to not getting frustrated and keep at it.  I hear people say 'the fish of a thousand casts'.  I fish from shore and seem to  cast a good deal more than that but I work each casted lure like it was my last... Main thing is to have fun.

Barry Kurten:
Hi Brian,

Best bit of advice i can give .. Start saving a stash of "GT" cash ... that first GT smashing your popper is going to cost you PLENTY cash in the years to come  ;D

Seriously though .. Biggest thing for me was learning when to strike, try to focus on waiting to feel the fish pull on the road before striking. It is all easier said then done because it all happens so fast. The initial smash is most often so impressive that we tend to strike out of excitement.

Lastly ... Try not to take your focus / concentration off your lure .. A smash can happen at absolutely anytime !  :)

Tight lines and all the best for your trip

Agreed  ;D

And pacing yourself, especially on a long trip, very important.
