Hi guys
I was lucky to be Brad's wingman for this trip and it was pretty awesome GT fishing considering we didn't go that hard on it and left them biting both days.
My sp combo is a Nitro Viper and Twinpower 5000SW with 20lb Daiwa Accu-Depth and performed faultlessly on the GT and chinaman, it even took a bit of spool palming in it's stride.
All of the photos were taken on a combo of Brad's Canon 50D and my Canon G11 with underwater housing.
Cheers for the comments and can't wait to get back out there.

awesome report mate! Thanks for sharing, WA is a big joint and it's easy to look overseas and neglect the quality thats on our doorstep...albeit 2000k's away.

Great pictures; must have been a awesome trip - great fishing, I don't know if I could have dragged myself away from the GT's on the second day haha; four GT's from ten casts is fantastic fishing anywhere!!.  Have you ever done much GT fishing a bit further south at the Mackerel Islands out of Onslow??

Yeah have to say that's a brilliant couple of days Brad.  Very jealous.  Especially considering the crap weather we're enduring over here lately.

Awesome report! Been thinking about getting a Viper, I have the Mag Butt and thats a sweet rod too. How do you rate the action of the rod for SP work?
