Hi everyone still sorta new here , caught my first gt on a live boney hearing near point samson like a month ago. Caught me off guard i had my livie out for like 10mins and in the mean time i was trying to catch more livies and then my work mate yells out to me that my rod is going off and then after fighting it for 30mins on my 5-10kg shimano t curve travel rod and my twin power 5000 running 20lb sunline i finnaly landed it. Happy days for me :)

OOOh I know where you are
And I sure hope you guys had some Bushmans on, especially the chap with the beer. Some nasty bities (pissers) in them areas.
Hope you arent itching now.
Nice GT and they are great fun to catch with a solid heart that doesnt give up.

A lucky son of a gun then
First time I went there got nailed by a swarm and took me about a week to recover. Nasty blighters piss on you and then we react to the pee.
They often chase little baitfish in there, so drop the size of the popper down to small with upgraded hooks and you may get a surprise. Or a small slice.
I have had great fun with tango dancer's up there with Trevor's and jacks.

Nice fish - 30mins is a hell
Nice fish - 30mins is a hell of a long fight for him though!
When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:
n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or
n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.
