WE LUV GT!

Sometimes we wonder if we'd ever get sick of this fish, but when its time to grab the gear and head out there never seems to be any reluctance! This trip was like any other, great food, great company and some good fish to get everyone excited...
All smiles in anticipation...

Geared to go...

Special Menu!

GTs were thick in these parts...

A Coral Cod on IMA Ro to break the monotony...

Scary moments well handled by the lady on board,
her wielding of the light outfit commendable indeed...

angler yet able to hurt some fish...

IMA Ro jig was a star performer...

Schoolie Gee...

Evergreen Caprice Kid doing the light tackle guys proud...

7.5kg GT, not bad for someone who hadn't caught
any GTs prior to this trip...

Caprice jigs in heavier configurations worked well in deeper waters...

this 2nd one belonged in a better class...
