Yes it is cheap here. The reef where we fish is about 15 min by boat from my mates house. At lunchtime we go to the wharf and buy lunch and back to the reef in 15-20 min. We use all about 20 litres of petrol.Big smile

Very nice fish!  Congrats.  Sam is right, I have had clients with double st76 5/0s and the fish still miss the hooks.  Some times it is just not meant to be.]]> Tue, 14 Aug 2012 06:40:16 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=81404&PID=1163313&title=gt-on-popper#1163313 <![CDATA[GT on popper : Great way to save on gas.

Nice fish Deon! Clap That's a solid GT! 

Don't get dismayed it's not the single hooks mate! GT's still manage to miss ST76 5/0's... Sent your poppers off also so they should arrive in your work mail at some stage.

Cheers guys.
First time i use the Alive poppers. I am waiting for some REAL poppers. Any way i use 2 single Mustad Hoodlum Livebait hooks. Also first time i use singles. Not very happy with singles as i lost 3 fish in a row until my girlfriend took the rod and catch a very nice Red Snapper. I still lost a big GT after that and then i hook this one just before we go home. This fish have raw power as it tows a 17 ft boat with 4 adults aboard.
I will post some pics of the popper and hooks as i was very surprise to find the hooks bend. The rod performs very well with poppers and sticks baits but i fish poppers 95% of the time.Poppers no bigger than 80 grams is the king here. Oh yes it is Tarawa Kiribati Islands where i fish and work.
