Topwater Caranx Ignobilis: Giant Trevally (GT) > Reports & Expeditions

Land Based Trip Late Nov 08

(1/3) > >>

Peter Morris:
Just spent a couple of days on the rocks with a few mates chasing pelagics and GT's.
The spot is a good producer of Longtails,Big Spaniards,Bludger trevally and GT's.
The GT's seem to come on late afternoon the best and combined with a nice high tide the ingredients seemed right.
During the day we spun primarily with metals and pencil poppers for pelagics with PE3 and had regular tussles with tuna and mackeral.
Late arvo poppers came into the equation more for GT's.
I managed some nice longtails but a mate of mine 'Mario' managed a great fish which we put at about 25kg and was a good effort land based.




Cheers
Pete

Greg Burt:
Good one Pete, you've done it again, very versatile. How did the Williamson Popper stand up to casting of the rocks?
 Were you just north of Bundy?

Hey Greg,
Yeah,The williamson seemed to do the job well.
I was using small heavy pencil poppers (as they cast well from the rocks).
I missed a BIG hit form a GT...well..he missed the popper really.
Up Gladstone way.

Peter Lowe:

Nice work Pete, that is a cracker from the rocks - it is so much more challenging I would think, did he release Ok ?

Well done.....

Nice longi as well - RESPECT.....

Peter Morris:
Hi Pete,

Yes released fine...He just had to dodge the 200kg Groper that sits on the edge of the rocks.. :D
There is a crack where you can wash fish up into which works really well.

Pete
