Yep - top guy and an amazing guide.

Thanks!

Sorry for the late reply. Most of this video was 30Lb main line (PE 1.7) and a 30Lb leader.

Sorry - I realise my reply is too late! From memory, this video was with a Daiwa Morethan 2510-PEH with PE1.2 (around 18Lb) with a Yamaga Ballistick81/1.

Agreed! PE1 is fine for most land-based fishing in Exmouth (unless you're popping for GTs).

This was in Exmouth, Western Australia, on the western side.

Whatever really. Something about 90mm, not too crazy colours and around 20g so you can cast it a good distance. To be honest, a metal slice does the job. I also use soft plastics a lot at those spots on the western side.

Thanks!

Hi there, The first fish is a grey bastard (related to the blue bastard).

Thanks! 👍

Not at all - catch and release only

Hi Murray, They are pretty common out closer to the barrier reef, although you do need to know where to look... and have a boat with a shallow enough draw to chase them through the bombies.

@@michaeljanis2749 Ahh righto, certainly makes for tense looking action following him round and still staying connected: bloody good effort. Reckon it makes much difference what time of year up there for the Gs, heard more active in cooler months?

@@muzharcus3195 My understanding is that in general you don't want the water in the lagoon to be too cold, which normally means October/November on. I'm not sure exactly how the GTs react with different water temperatures, though. I highly recommend going out with a guide like Ningaloo Fly Fishing (nee True Blue Bonefish) or Ningaloo Sportfishing and talking to them before planning your trip. Check out NIngaloo Fly Fishing's facebook page to see a monster GT on fly from the lagoon last week.

Hi Cameron, Sorry for my late reply - I don't login to my KZbin account very often. The Aquila 81 is awesome. It casts a mile, has a soft enough tip to work stick baits and still has decent power.

Michael Janis no worries, thanks for the reply. I picked up a Aquila 78-3st and it’s awesome.

Hi Hayden, Sorry for my late reply - I don't login to my KZbin account very often. You're spot on - that spango was at Trealla.

Yep - good spotting!

Hi Lachlan, I hope you got a few on the boat!

G'day Michael, Sorry for my late reply. I haven't had that much success catching big GTs from shore. They're at the tip and near the Navy Pier but I lose more than I win and it is generally a lot of casts between hits. The little one in this video was at Old Bundegi.

Sorry - I don't often login to my KZbin account. It's probably too late for you but I reckon getting a charter is the way to go unless you already have a pocket full of spots. Unless you like trolling (the spots are pretty obvious), you can spend hours just prospecting. I recommend going for the full guided setups rather than the bottom bouncing charters.

Hey Merdel. Sorry for the late reply! This video was taken about 1km away from where the houseboat is moored. By now I'm sure you've fished this exact spot and cleaned up!
