Hi Guys,
Haven't posted for a while (not many GT's in London!) but thought you may like to see this which was a minor triumph for me fishing in Sabah, Borneo a few months back.
This area is not a known GT spot due to the topography of the ocean in the area but I took a few light spinning rods anyway.
The rod I'm using is a Shimano Exage travel rod in the 10-30g casting range with 10lb mono and a light freshwater spinning reel.
I went for a walk with the missus along the beach casting a long thin silver lure into the surf and retrieving whilst walking.
When we got to the end of the beach there was a rocky reef which extended in an arc forming a bowl like area so I started casting to the edge of the reef and after a few casts hooked up.
The fish immediately tried to head for the rocks obviously and I had to run backwards to prevent this happening and once I got it into open water it went on a series of blistering runs but eventually I managed to get it but on gear so light you can imagine the kind of run around it gave me.
I know it doesn't compare to the Monster GT's I see here all the time but it was very satisfying nonetheless.
