Dusky_Chaser Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 So I'm standing there minding my own business and this guy comes up to me and says, "hey mate can I hire your rod off you"......haha I didnt care if I forgot jocks or socks but I sure made sure I didnt forget a rod when on an island off the coast of Cairns. Was nice to meet you swano....I'm back in Vic now...ended up with a few more fish, nothing huge because when ever I hooked a decent fish it just took me onto the reef and cut me off.....really needed a boat up there,,,would of been awesome. The best fish I landed was a small GT (i think) on a roosta popper. I never got a photo of it but it was about 55cm or so. Got a heap of other reef fish including 7 coral trout but they werent huge. Caught a smaller one too which I did get a photo of. Can anyone tell me if its a Juvenile GT or something else? (ok given up trying to put the pic up, says I cant use that image extension?????? I am using photobucket???? always worked before) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
