Also what sort of trevally are they?

Awesome Rooster Fish, got to get me one of those some day!

The Lutjanid is a Cubera Snapper.

The Trevally is a Jack Crevalle.

I believe most were taken on poppers.

I hate him even more :o

David told me that they were going to Panama the week after I left after a trip with them at noumea. Said they would use the big poppers like I cups and Fisherman Hp tail. The big poppers seem to have worked well. This is quite against the grain of the usual medium sized stick baits, raiders and small poppers used there.

cheers,

Jeen

Jeen

Yeah I thought it looked similar to a Maori Seaperch, markings just didn't seem right though.
