bloody hell - how can you not catch GTs in a location like this........
you should also have a lot of big reef fish chasing your poppers
If it swims; I want to catch it!

Visually stunning place but fishing was poor.

Did not sight one single GT - locals did however insist that 130lb+ GTs were around. Considering that we were there during a good fishing period, the conditions should have at least fired a single GT at us - small or big! Pop, jig or troll - no GTs. Only scored Red Bass, Coral Trout and Barracuda on popper - very disappointing.

Will post some pics soon...

Geez Luke, what a let-down.  Was looking forward to seeing some fresh trevs.  Spose it's possible to get skunked anywhere
