GT on Stickbait
Submitted by scuttlebutt on Tue, 2007-09-11 16:29
Went out to the reef today using stickbaits. Got this GT on the shallow stuff, they were swarming everywhere for a couple minutes then disappeared. Ended up getting wiped out by a bigger one a bit later that took the stickbait home. $60 lure ouch!

Looks like you dragged that fish out of some fairly shallow water Steve. Congratulations on a nice capture.
Regarding the lure, well, better to have loved and lost than never loved at all!

The fishwrecked attire never fails to produce, still looking for a bus that size up here in Exmouth.

Thanks guys, but that fish
Thanks guys, but that fish was a tiddler compared to "the ones that got away". I was just a bit under-prepared in the shallow water (about one metre).
Fishyink, those lures are built tough, but the finish gets knocked around pretty quickly after a few red bass, long toms, trout and trevally. Same as any wooden lure I suppose, they don't like teeth. That one had plenty of paint missing when I lost it.
