Land based Popping in Arnehm Land for Medium trevs

(1/3) > >>

Mat Selwyn:
Went to recon some land based popping ledges in the Northern Territory. Found what for me was about as good as it gets off the shore here. Most fish were aound 8-10 kg, some 12. We were undergunned when it came to the odd horse, will be heading back with some heavier gear next time. Some of the fish we estimated at 20-25 kgs, a couple of which almost made it onto the rocks. Ahh well, something to look forward to next time. Spannish mackeral and Barracuda were all over the poppers and stick baits, as well as some hungry little longtail tuna smashing lures half as big as they were. By day three tackle was running low so improvisation became nececary. Removing the bibs from out x-wraps proved to be a winner, with the resulting little stick-bait coming out one of the most successful lures. Lots more pics to come as the guys I was with had much better camera's than I. The buggers still have another week out there, jeez it was hard to get on the plane and come back to work. Hope you enjoy the pics
