Bali - Oct 23 2010 - GT season well underway

[Nathan Cefai]

Nice work,that rod thats loaded looks like a powerfull stick..

[Aaron Concord]

Just the look of the current in the background is enough to get me cranking!!!!!

Good stuff Mark!

Those are some pretty fine Bali GTs 

Hopefully I will get lucky following Cameron Kirkconnell's leads on my next Bali trip end-Nov! It was a pleasure to have him drop by Kaiser early this month.

Cameron shot the WR doggie of 205lbs at Batu Abah:

It says NTT there but the actual site of the capture was Abah. There are some big fish in those ripping Bali currents still and for those who persist I think a surprise awaits them 

cheers

[Mark Harris]

Thanks mate.

Yeah that East NTT tag on Cameron's Dogtooth fooled many including me who assumed it was correct and reckoned Alor was the location.  Batu Abah is of course in West NTT. Actually catching Dogtooths of big size is rare out there but I have had enough severely mangled jigs to know the monsters are still there.

Just tell me when and I will be there with you .

[Jon Li]

Thanks mate.

Batu Abah is of course in West NTT.

Hi Mark ,

You wud hurt your host feeling by saying Batu Abah is in West NTT , the Balinese are very proud to saya their island is Bali and not part of Java or the other islands of Nusa Tenggara . 

Back on the topic of dogtooth , one must ask the divers where they are hanging about but divers usually view fishermen as their competitors to a good dive spot and won't tell .

Jon .

And the action continues out there at Batu Abah.  Just had an email from Adhek and yesterday his boat caught 3 big fish including this specimen.

Too right Jon.  I would not say that to Balinese friends  .

Wow! That's a BIG GT...looks like we better get up there sooner 

[Mark Harris]

Yup. I don't know the lucky fella holding it and am not sure how big he is. But that fish certainly looks into the 40s to me.

[Garry Wong]

oh boy,
this is hurting me
i hope i wont get another trip when the skipper said, "you should have been here a month ago"
i am sure you all hear these words too often

[Mark Harris]

Yeah Garry know exactly what you mean mate.  Keep your fingers crossed and we will do our best for you in late November - it will not be for want of trying!

Hi Mark,

Let's hope the full moon this month will arouse the GTs too. See you in 3 weeks, we will have a celebrity former HOTS tester fishing with us 

cheers

Yeah great stuff mate.  I must keep quiet on my views about Hots rods then . More seriously, am looking forward to it very much.
