This was the first really good day of the new Bali season (traditionally September to May). It was the full moon which really made me choose this day to head out with my great buddy and Captain Fantastic, Agustinus.
A combination of the full moon, very choppy water and moody skies created a raging current out there at Batu Abah which really got the GTs out to play.
The two hours before high tide were superb and provided one of the best GT fishing days I have experienced in Bali. The level of aggression was outstanding and as well as landing two fish in the 40 kgs class and several smaller ones, we had a huge number of bust offs and misses. At one stage it seemed that fish were having at look at just about every cast. With no broom-handle rods on board, a lot of fun was had fishing PE8 with genuine PE8 rods.
The day was topped off with a (very tired!) jigging stop on the way home and the Amberjacks decided to oblige.
Weapons: Carpenter DJ83MH, Ripple GT79R and GT82. Dogfight, SW18000, TP SWA10000 with No Limits 16000 spool, all loaded with Avani GT Max PE8.
Poppers: Adhek Big Gecko 160 gram was the star, also caught one fish with Adhek PomPom 160 gram.
My boyfriend and I are going to Bali end of month, and he loves fishing. Would you still have to captains contacts that you could forward me @ stoneskylie@gmail.com?
