Went for a solo run out today to throw some lures around.
Glad I did 'cause the place was going off!
Ended up with 16 GT's, mostly on Carpenter stickbaits and one Red Bass. Smallest GT was just over 10kg, biggest around 20, maybe a bit more.
here's a few pics
-
plenty around this size too
-
My first Black GT. What do you think of that Brandon?
-
Nice Bass
-
I was playing a decent trev to the boat when the hooks pulled and two of his mates zoomed in. Both hooked up on the stick at the same time. This is the result!
-
biggest for the day.

Just cos I thought i could... from two photos looks like you are just north of High Island... and then looking a long way north far enough out to be at Flora????? or maybe Jackson?

Haha, keep guessing Steve.
Randy I took the pics by putting the camera on the console and using the timer function. Really not that difficult.
The big one peeled plenty of string and I reckon took about 15 minutes or so. Was using PE6 on a Stella 8000HG.

Well done Stephen. Good fish.
I reckon that lures look great when shiney and new, but look so much better after they have caught fish.
That Carpenter has sure earned some "bragging rights".

-
