The <a href="http://gt-popping.com/fish-species/giant-trevally/" target="_blank">GTs</a> are here all year round of course but the winter can often be windy limiting our access to the best outer barrier reef breakers. Not so much this year ! Anglers here to target the Wahoo & Sails are also finding they can toss some poppers and land some nice GTs !<br />

Great weather meant ideal jigging conditions and Boyang made the most
of it hooking up and landing a 19.6kg <a href="http://gt-popping.com/fish-species/other-species-2/" target="_blank">Albacore</a> setting a new M-36 Fiji
National Record.<br />

Using a Dogfight 6500 on a Carpenter Blue Lagoon and GT Mania lure, Kenneth fought a huge <a href="http://gamefishingfiji.com/fish-species-fiji/giant-trevally-gt/" target="_blank">GT</a> for over 25 minutes until Joe could finally grab the leader.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
The
fish measured 57 Inches (short length) smashing the current IGFA
All-Tackle Length World Record however, because of the long fight,
Kenneth elected to snap one quick photo and get the GT back in the water
as soon as possible. Joe swam the fish for 5 minutes before a healthy
release....<br />
Nice one guys, commendable !<br />

Work is almost complete on our brand new offshore sportfishing boat Bite Me II being built by<a href="http://bluewatercraft.net/" target="_blank" title="BlueWater Craft"> BlueWater craft</a> in Navua, Viti Levu. She will be a 28ft go-fast go-anywhere fishing machine designed to perfectly service the growing <a href="http://www.gt-popping.com/" target="_blank">GT Popping</a>
and deep water jigging specialists as well as offer anglers the
opportunity to go after pelagic gamefish such as marlin, Pacific
Sailfish, yellowfin Tuna, Dorado and Wahoo on stand-up tackle. Powered
by the very latest Twin 150 Mercury 4-strokes she will cruise at 25 kts
and be capable of reaching 35+ knots at WOT.</div>

We have been having to work harder than normal with La Nina weather patterns still affecting the ocean current directions along the outer barrier reef. Mark & Yaniv from the US fished recently and Mark was kind enough to let me post a few pics from their trip.<br />

"I recently stayed at Matava with my boyfriend and it was heavenly! We disconnected from the world and enjoyed the game fishing (We caught 3 huge tuna thanks to Joe the amazing guide and captain), ocean kayaking, hiking, and stunning food (Sammy, the gardener, is a genius). Go to Matava to reconnect with yourself and your significant other!"<br />

Our guide Alex was out yesterday installing a FAD and tossed a <a href="http://www.gt-popping.com/fishing-methods/popper-casting">popper</a> for a few minutes on the way home. This <a href="http://www.gt-popping.com/fish-species/popper-casting-species/giant-trevally">GT</a> went close to 30kg.

<u><span style="font-size: large;"> GT Popping</span></u></div>
<br />
So far this summer the bite has been reasonably good on the calm summer days but relatively quiet on choppy days. With all the January flooding on the main island there is a lot of debris in the water and the <a href="http://www.gt-popping.com/fish-species/popper-casting-species/giant-trevally">GTs</a> are not consistently hunting in the barrier reef breakers. On some days we have been catching more GTs on jigs than on poppers....<br />

Matt from<a href="http://www.tackleworld.com.au/wa/exmouth.html" target="_blank"> Exmouth Tackle World</a> caught this cracker of a <a href="http://www.gt-popping.com/fish-species/popper-casting-species/yellowfin-tuna">Yellowfin Tuna</a> using his a Daiwa Saltiga and custom popping rod.

We are getting the usualy range of species jigging the barrier reef drop-offs. Plenty of <a href="http://www.gt-popping.com/fish-species/jigging-fish-species/dodtooth-tuna">Dogtooth Tuna </a>but so far this season, no real monsters to brag about !<br />
