Flying Fish imitation lure at suggestions?

[Le Vi Hua]

Look for a lure which mimics a flying fish. One that make some noise and bubble trail would be good. Anyone got any ideas/pics?

I assume you are asking in coloration? I am not aware of a lure that can fly yet!!

You could try rigging up one of these for casting...

I've seen the guys fishing in Seychelles having fair success with something similar... I'm guessing the ones with the softer wings would make for the best hook up options...

Alternatively check out the soft plastic versions some of the MArlin boys use for trolling teasers...

that was bloody good, Mark!!

I have always thought that when flying fish are around you use a fast moving popper Isnt that why we see chrome "WINGS" on the side of them whether their blooped _injured fish or skittered _ flying fish always works for me

Those Yozuri look pretty good.
I use these, http://www.rapala.com/products/lures/x-rap_subwalk/ , you can get them to skitter along the top fairly well as well as just under the surface.

Sorry I have a habit of been unclear.

A hardbody lure +100g suitable for GT's.

We see flying fish been chased where we pop and I reckon a close match shape wise could work well. Also the fish are down 25m deep so a lure which makes some noise or bubbles would help.

Any suggestions?

How about a Craftbait Realbait or GT2 in "Flying Fish" !!!!

[Warwick Joyce]

If you are seeing the flying fish being chased any pencil popper or skittering stickbait with silvery sides should do the trick. If the fish are holding 25m deep then I would think you will need a blooper to raise them? If you can see the flying fish then I would assume they are being chased and the bigger predators are high in the water column and any lure matching the general size of the flying fish thrown into the frenzy will get a strike.
I'm not sure if GT's would chase the flying fish too much (someone correct me if i'm wrong ) when we see flying fish being chased here its usually mackeral and tuna at fast pace, round and round all over the place. To me it doesn't match the GT's feeding habit.

[Mark Harris]

I was wondering that as well Warwick.  Flying Fish do not seem to be the obvious GT prey.

Up here in Indonesia, jumping flying fish normally mean fast pelagic predators like Tuna, Wahoo and Mahimahi. And yep, cast stickbaits at them!

Thanks everyone for your feedback.

I have noticed at some of the local spots where I've popped, the GT's seem to be active when there is flying fish around.
Though I'd hasten to add, on days like that, the wahoo, mack tuna and yellowfin are working the same areas and particularly the tuna are fond of the flying fish.
It would seem that the mack tuna are chasing the flying fish and the GT's are chasing the mack tuna.......So of course you need a 4kg mack tuna replica???

I've lucked out early in my high speed spin days (daze??) by hooking bloody big GT's on Cordell Pencil poppers wound flat strap around flying fish, thinking I'd only induce the wrath of mackerel or tuna present, though the GT's ate them no problems.....pity about the 10kg mono back then.....I might have one a round or two!

We all know how switched on GT's are in their watery environment.........I think the flying fish gets the 'chain' going then everything else follows suit.
