tyrone07 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 G’day All, currently sitting in Singapore Airport, awaiting my transfer to the Maldives. Anyway was up in Cairns the last two weeks for my wedding, and had planned a full two week itinerary before the big day. The wife and I went out with a guide I had wanted to go with for a while and it did not disappoint. Threw big poppers and stick baits all day, and within the last hour was rewarded with a cracking GT that fought like nothing else. We landed a number of fish including Giant trevally, Coral Trout, Mack’s and a number of reef fish. In 3-5 meters on locked drag and 100lb braid/leader it was a war,that luckily I won. Highly recommend if your ever in Cairns spending the money and chasing these awesome fish!!! 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kracka Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 (edited) What a catch! Well done. They pull just as hard as an angry Mrs haha. Congrats! Enjoy the Maldives. If you have the gear... There's quite a few GTs over that way too around Maldives and Mauritius (rocks and reef off the northern part of the island). Always wonder how many lures are these monsters mouths....

Cheers mate, that one is only considered a good fish, they regularly get them over 30kgs still, all are catch and release too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would probably have some nice trevs around the beaches early morning or late Arvo. Charter will be awesome! Some seriously sized fish out there. Keep us all posted how you go. Very jealous. Good luck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
