Still getting an eye for sizing GT, any estimations on how big this one might be?

Don't suppose you took any measurements? It looks reasonably long but seems like quite a lean fish.. difficult to tell.

By the way, I forgot you were going here!  8)

Na mate no measurements. got to get my self a tape.
 Yeah its a good place, little bit crazy out their in the 455 GTrex ;D
Managed 5 GT in 3hrs, all from the same hole..
Cant wait till next time. 8)

Haha yep, it's a great place, but a lot different than fishing Dampier. Can get pretty wild!
5 GT's 3 hours aint bad going  8)
Any other reef ooglies? The red bass can be thick there at times..

Can they be rewired?

I can rewire the popper... Karl if you are willing to send the popper to me I can repair this and get you fishing again. Has there been any damage to the lure body?

Karl, Since it was a pretty bad first experience I will do it for nothing just the $ for postage to return it to you. Hopefully there is a few guys on here that can vouch for me and my work  ???  ;)

Thanks for the offer Sam, other than the wiring the poppers is still OK. I will Rewire it and the others i think.. Just to be on the safe side.

Karl

Thats cool Karl,

If you need any tips give us a yell, I will be wiring some more poppers of my own in a day or two so I can get out the camera and take some pic's of the steps/process I use if you need it or if it would help?  8)

Pretty confident with my wiring sam, but it would be good to see how other people do it.
If you had some pics that would be grate.

You'd be able to deadlift it then with one of those new Monster 16000 spools!

Yeah they can be hard to get the hooks to stick sometimes... can be a good thing though, they can brick you in a flash!
