Recently started throwing a few poppers around the tweed reefs, cant believe i havent been doing this earlier. First few casts the other day raised a few GT's in about 25-30m, they were good fish of around the 90cm+ mark but missed the hooks, Was lots of boats out so they went quiet pretty quick, Another group of blokes in a glass centre console landed a sizable GT which looked to be around 20KG.

We ended up landing a small yellowfin and a couple of Macs which was better then nothing and good fun, also landed several other various tuna on the trawl home.

Cheers

Funny you should talk about a marlin on a stickbait. I hooked one off the Tweed casting a Maria Stick bait for Gt's a few trips ago. The fish was about 70 to 80 kg and after a long screaming run eventually threw the stickbait while jumping straight at the boat. It was a memorable hook up even though we didnt land it. We have subsequebtly had another one follow a stick bait to the boat and a sailfish hit a popper several times withour hooking up. Quite amazing stuff for a heavily fished area!!!! The spanish are really starting to turn it on now with a few fish being landed over 20kg.

Cheers Rod
