The big Trebles certainly help when a bit of grip is needed, more so on Stickbaits.]]> Fri, 12 Nov 2010 20:26:13 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=59417&PID=850164&title=pickhandle-barracuda-off-the-beach#850164 <![CDATA[Pickhandle Barracuda off the beach.. : Hey Bun, We got a decent Greater...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=59417&PID=849790&title=pickhandle-barracuda-off-the-beach#849790 Author: Nepptune

Hey Bun,

We got a decent Greater on a recent trip to Hells Gate a few months back as well... the purple Cubera doing the damage once again...

The sharp end of those things is well worth avoiding!!!

LBD2 - I was fishing mainly big trebles on this trip on all the rigs, poppers and sticks, but decided on a Big single on the tail of the Cubera for some reason, not sure why... vareity is the spice of life I guess... :-)

We were popping in pretty trubulent water, in the surf zone and such, and I like the way a big Treble on the belly has the "grip" to hold the popper in the water better in rough water.... not sure if my reasoning is sound, but it works... sort of...

Cam [Stellajigger] caught this monster at Marion reef on a Musky Stickbait, it was safer outside the boat

Nice fish mate....Can i ask why you have a treble under the belly and a single at the back of that popper? Seen a few people experimenting with this sort of thing....I presume you are trying to keep a bit more weight under the belly to keep the popper flat?]]> Thu, 11 Nov 2010 15:47:47 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=59417&PID=849500&title=pickhandle-barracuda-off-the-beach#849500 <![CDATA[Pickhandle Barracuda off the beach.. : Nepptune wrote:Sam - I haven't...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=59417&PID=849155&title=pickhandle-barracuda-off-the-beach#849155 Author: SamMcK

Yep I was not there for fishing and the weather was terible but had a look at the local ledge at the old hotel and it was mean. The photos in the beach bar were enough for me to want to go back with rods one day. BIG permit (on baits I guess) and GTs and a bit cheaper to get to than Bazaruto e.t.c., your a lucky man to be able to get to thost places realatively (African roads aside LOL

) easily.

Hey Chris ,

No Roy wasn't on this trip with me, it was just Earl and myself... Roy had just come back from St Lazarus banks the bugger... they nailed over 60 GT's on popper amongst other things.... lucky b@stards!!!

Sam - I haven't fished Pomene at all unfortunately, but I've heard its an amazing Land based spots with guys hooking Sailfish off the stones there even....

Moz is such an enormous country with so much incredible coastline and oppotunity... I hope to spend more and more time there in search of that monster GT... getting one on a popper or Stickbait in the surf would be a true trophy... and its definitely doable as hundreds of big GT's are taken there every year in the surf on plugs and live baits...

Mozz - yeah they do go a bit, bit like you say, this chap got a bit skull dragged... :-)

I just broke in my new fly rod with a similar sized specimen at the bahama's last weekend. they go alright for smelly cuda although I am surprised that one still has a jaw after he was skull dragged in on that setup]]> Wed, 10 Nov 2010 10:42:33 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=59417&PID=848860&title=pickhandle-barracuda-off-the-beach#848860 <![CDATA[Pickhandle Barracuda off the beach.. : Nice Cuda there Nepptune...do...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=59417&PID=848816&title=pickhandle-barracuda-off-the-beach#848816 Author: Catchelot
