Bali - mid-December 2012

Very solid beast which gave me some real curry. Caught on an ASWB Bungarra 170 gram.


Simon with a 115 cm forklength.


This image sums up Bali GT fishing very nicely. What a backdrop.


The longest fish of the trip caught on a Carpenter Pandora 155+30.





Simon with a very round fish which was heavily egg-laden

Bluefins are so beautiful

Successful lures:

ASWB Bungarra 170 and 130
Carpenter Pandora 155+30
Orion T-Rex
Orion Bigfoot
Adhek Penipen 160

Thanks Peter. :)

Andy.. yep, I like that rod more and more. Happy with the fish for sure. Even happier to see so many large specimens out there at the moment. The pack attacks were just spectacular.

Thanks Nathan.

I reckon you will enjoy the big WCPs.  Easy to work for a popper with such a big face and which moves so much water. In my opinion the WCP poppers in both sizes are the most interesting new entrants into the chugger market for quite some time. And they are so well-priced. Really like them.

Have got so many pics to sort through for this trip but will not burden GTPopping with too many of them.  This one I really like though:
