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

Packing for my first trip for andaman

<< < (2/2)

Courtland Babcock:
I lost 1 lure in 5 days in the Andamans last year and it was my own fault. I let a sinking stickbait stay in the water while I picked out a wind knot. Needless to say it got stuck in the shallow reef.

Our crew of 7 did not lose more than5 lures total and the fishing was good. Then again I like to change lures after 1 or 2 fish anyway. Bring as many as you want to knowing you will never NEED all of them.

Dan Hanon:
When I go GT fishing, I'm traveling halfway around the world and spending about $10,000 USD, so I learned to pack well.  I ran out of poppers on my last trip to Australia, so I started buying them....

Sacco Gerard:
HAMAD,

In Andaman we lose Very few lures, in 2008 in 8 days  2 poppers, in 2009 and still 8 days fishing 0, in the 2 cases a lot of fish to the boat and I don't fish  with a drag of 20kg  :P ;)

By cons, every time I go I always take one minimum of 40 poppers and Stickbaits it's madness  :-[

Jigs,  I don't know, it's not my cup of tea  ;)

Matt Bews:
Man I'd love to have your predicament... Jealous!

Lucas Nixon:
Some top gear there mate.

Is that some crazy tail twisted leaders I see amongst the rubble?

Great leaders mate well made.

Love those west coast poppers to.

Always hard working out exactly what to take and what not to take. Find myself in a similar situation at the moment. Heading on a GT and Doggie trip in May but know there's a very good chance of a marlin or two. To pack the trolling gear or not?? Would love to target them on stickbaits if the opportunity presents itself.

Anyway hope you have a good trip and if your struggling to find something to do with any of your gear left behind I could look after it for you. Haha.

Enjoy.
