Recent land based trip
November 20, 2008, 11:06:36 PM
Hey guys im kinda new to this forum and the whole popping scene. I thought i would put up some pics of a recent land based trip i had. I have never caught any GT's to speak of so i was stoked with the trip i had cause i found out just what an incredible fish the GT is and how hard they pull. Now im pretty muched hooked on the whole popping style of fishing and am spending way too much money... but its all good ;D

Congrats on your first GTs Dave and welcome to the worldwide club of enthusiasts who all spend far too much time and money chasing these thugs - and love every minute of it!

Cheers

Colin

Hi Dave,
You've done well from the oysters mate. I hate that spot - its very frustrating and I've lost a bit of blood there too.

Anyway, welcome to the addiction  ;D

are these GT's caught a night. I never thought GT can be caught a night how does the fish see the lure when popping? hope this is not a dumb question.
