Title: Kadavu GT's
Post by: George Trinkler on July 28, 2010, 10:56:00 AM

Last week Golden Eagle was fishing the Cape Washington sea mount with a group mainly chasing dogtooth tuna (see jigging reports) but late one afternoon we did spend a couple of hours popping near our anchorage with some excellent results.

it was pretty standard fishing for the Cape Washington end of Kadavu Tom, the crew released 12 fish in under 2 hours and had 3 double hook ups on Full Scale Lures, the black sparkle was good and the darker lures seem to produce more fish at Kadavu.
We have also started a tagging programme at Kadavu and Gau with close to 100 GT's tagged recently but no recaptures as yet.
