GTs
Submitted by RumPig on Wed, 2023-03-01 12:44
G'Day All,
Slowly ticking through my fishing bucket list and the next fish I am targetting is GTs.
I know techniques and tackle requirements. My question is more around finding the fish.
Is it a matter of finding bait and youll find fish? Or should i be looking at specific structure around the joint and if bait is there im good to go on the fish?
I realise that it isn't always as simple as that but prepared to put in the time and effort to nut them out.
Any pointers in the right direction would be apprecaited.
Located in Exmouth if that helps.
Cheers

Structure
In my experience, find the structure with a bit of water movement around it any you'll find them.

Landbased
I havent personally fished for them but looks like people get some big ones casting out towards the channel at Bundegi to the north between the carpark and the pier and also along the very top of the cape, east of the wreck along the reef edge..... Not sure how many hours they are putting in but people also appear to do well for them at night.

I haev only caught a few but always targeted structure primarily. Should be plenty of people up there that can help you locate them.

Go thru the north passage or south at tantabiddi and start casting at the back of waves hitting the reef .
pepper a few areas and move along as you'll go .... they'll find you

Thanks!
Thanks everyone. I am both boat and land based so have plenty of options.
I have a few arvos this week free so will be giving it a crack up north of the cape.

Tackleworld
Were you in Tackleworld yesterday morning grabbing some whiting tackle? Overheard the guys in there asking a bloke how he went chasing GTs and said he'd been out most evenings but no luck.....

Yeah that was probably me
Yeah that was probably me mate. Wasn't buying whiting gear though, bait jigs? Went out to Learmonth Jetty and slotted small jacks for a few hours.
next time you see me say g'day
