Title: GT from the rocks!! Landbased Gt popping
Post by: Anton Vogiatzis on January 12, 2012, 09:17:25 AM

Hi guys,

I thought I'd share a video of my first GT landbased, fishing from the rocks at the Montebello Islands in Nov 2011. Not a massive fish but big smiles form me! ;D :) ;D :)

Thanks guys. I am absolutely stoked with this. My goal was to get a GT from the rocks on the Monties trip and I only managed one fish and it was this one! This was actually the first cast from the stones and had 3 Gt's follow the popper, it took us all by surprise as it happened so quick the camera wasn't even ready.

An extra special thanks to Damo, Bob and Dave, I was yelling at them to cast at the 2 other GT's behind my hooked up fish but they were more concerned in making sure I landed mine! Not something many people would do.

Also I should mention a big thanks to Kyle, Les & Jas for making the trip so enjoyable, I look forward to our next Montebello adventure :)
