Bluewater Fishing Expedition

edylie · 11-11-2007, 10:44 PM

Yo Mikey,

Since you are going to Burma Banks before me, could you please share with me what you are bringing there?

As you know I have not fished for awhile and do not want to miss out any fun gears

Thanks,
Edy

stickbom! · 14-11-2007, 01:44 AM

I hope you're not thinking of bringing Madai Jigs to Burma Banks dude... unless you have one the size of a tennis ball!

To be honest I haven't got much "toys" left... will be bringing whatever's left from my last few leylong sessions

1. 12lb spin gear (plugging)- For football size tuna/smaller surface feeders
2. 30lb popping gear- For slightly bigger tuna/casting big minnow type lures and smaller topwater plugs
3. 60lb popping gear- In case Mr GT shows up/big GT type lures
4. 50lb spinning jigging gear- All rounder jigging outfit
5. 80lb overhead jigger gear (double up as bottom fishing outfit)- Deep waters/Groupers + whatever that can't be stopped on 50lb class tackle.

Thats it tentatively

I might get lazy and bring a set or two less

edylie · 14-11-2007, 04:48 AM

Mikey,

Sounds good man ... I enjoy doing top water plugging too!

What size of poppers and jigs are you going to bring?

Regards,
Edy

stickbom! · 14-11-2007, 09:53 AM

15-40g assorted lures for the 12lb outfit
60-100g assorted lures for the 30lb popping outfit
100-160g assorted lures for the 60lb popping outfit
200-300g jigs for the 50lb jigging outfit
300-1000g jigs for the 80lb jigging/bottom outfit

edylie · 17-11-2007, 12:29 PM

I am taking Budget Airline ... guess i might have problem with the weight limit hmmnmn

Are you bringing any icebox over? I am thinking to bring a 42Q icebox to store those nice sashimi

Regards,
Edy

stickbom! · 17-11-2007, 06:19 PM

Bringing a cooler box would seriously increase your baggage weight dude. Sure you wanna do that?

I just came back from another shopping spree with the lads... they're really armed to the teeth for this trip

lsk20 · 20-11-2007, 05:10 PM

thanks in advance

stickbom! · 21-11-2007, 03:35 PM

Friends have bottom fished in 300m of waters there.

zeck · 21-11-2007, 05:22 PM

Mikey (and others),

Do you, even when using trebles on your hooks, allow your jigs to touch bottom before cranking them up, or do you ask the captain how deep the water is, and then start jigging before it touches bottom? Agar-agar.

I got sunko once, and it was super sian.....

edylie · 21-11-2007, 06:18 PM

Zeck,

Usually i try not to use treble hook if i were to drop the jig all the way till bottom due to snag issue.

Regards,
Edy

zeck · 21-11-2007, 08:12 PM

Thanks Edy - but what if you prefer to use treble and not assist hooks? Would you let the jig drop to the bottom?

Any idea how Matsutani-san deals with this? I read somewhere that he likes trebles.

Thanks!

edylie · 21-11-2007, 09:02 PM

Hi Zeck,

In that case once it touches the bottom reel it quickly? In fact if i were to drop the jig all the way to bottom, i do not attach the assist hook on the jig end ... just the initial part.

Regards,
Edy

awwwwwww man... you should have told me earlier... most of my guys have jigs stickin out of their noses & ears already

jigjigjig · 22-11-2007, 11:46 AM

Depending on which area you fish in, you might want to gear up especially for GT. They are swarming the reefs of late, going mad over both poppers and jigs! And they aren't small either!

stickbom! · 22-11-2007, 12:08 PM

Just when I thought it was safe to leave the popping outfits at home! Thanks for the tip off JJJ

stickbom! · 07-12-2007, 01:32 AM

Hey Edy, heard you're setting off one day after me! I'm flying on the 15th of Dec

Anyway, I'll be wondering in Phuket on 21/22 Dec so maybe we can share stories over a beer or two there

Oh by the way, after some consideration I've tuned my tackle list a little

1. 80lb popping gear- JUST IN CASE big mo is still lurking around when I reach BB
2. 40lb spin jigging gear- Up to 200g jigs
3. 60lb spin jigging gear- Up to 300g jigs
4. 80lb bottom bashing gear- Deepwater bottom bashing + 1000g Jigs

edylie · 10-12-2007, 01:38 AM

Mikey

That sounds good ... i am not sure when we will be back to Phuket and if it is around the same time as yours, i will definitely give you a ring.

stickbom! · 15-12-2007, 12:35 AM

Edy remember to give me a ring if you're in Phuket this coming Satureday! All the best for your trip!!
