Blue Water Mag
July 07, 2008, 07:51:54 AM
Just picked up the latest edition of Blue Water mag, the 1st thing that hit me was a GT on the cover with a smiling Malcolm Crane, you can't actually see him smiling but he would have been  ;D. Damon has put in an article under the heading of 'GT University' with heaps of where to's and what for's as well of heaps of pics taken from Bugatti and our latest trip to Marion. Josh and Brandon are in some pics, as well as Brandon contributing along with Damon, Ed the guide, Hal Harvey and Tim Simpson.
 Worth a look for shore.

PS: Damons shot of Brandon casting out of the Contender is the closest pic I have seen of the true colouration we where surrounded with when fishing the 'Blue Holes', I am presently using a pic from the same set as my PC background.
PPS: Notice the 'B' team on the coral/sand in background ::)

Yep I subscribe to Bluewater and thats the 3rd article from Nomad in the last couple of years.  That photo with Brandon looks awesome and the article is very helpful in tips of how to find and where to fish for GT's.

How good would it have been if the article quoted "Note: Team Deviant on the beach having a break"   :D

We're getting all these teams coming out of Nomad trips. For Marion, we had Team Deviant and at Bugatti, we had Team Lesbian   ;D  Unfortunately, I was a memeber of Team Lesbian   :'(

Hi all, I just got the latest issue the other day and noticed they twisted leader instructions are not right - they say to twist AFTER folding the leader in half...that'll frustrate a few people trying it out ! Good mag though, some fantastic quality photos every issue. Keeps me going until next billfish season  :P

cheers
Sam
something clever and witty !

Yeah I noticed that too Sam.  Didn't sound right unless there is some other way.

Would've been funnier if they mentioned 'Theres Team Deviant on the beach having a break- and look, they're all naked....'  :o ;D

Team Lesbian eh Brandon? Did that name come about cos ya kept getting your panties in a bunch every time you lost a GT??   :D

Hi All,

There is confusion over the twisty leader instructions?

I grab 4m of mono & fold it in half...this creates the 'loop' to join the line to your double.
It is also the starting end from where your twists originate from.
I use this loop, placed over the hook in a drill chuck as the basis for the twisted leader....have one guy running the RPM's on the drill and another holding the flailing strands apart as the twists are formed.

I hope that clarifies the info written.

Cheers

Aaron.
