My Mood:  Rep Power: 2    | Phuket "Reel Action Fishing" We had a good day out catching 7 GTs, 1 Wahoo, and 2 Tuna. We pulled 6 lines and most of the fish were taken with the New Rapala X-Rap Mag 30 SBM. The lures were rigged with a 2m Berkley 120# nylon coated wire leader. The leader was double crimped and I used a #6 BB Swivel and a #6 BB Coastlock Snap Swivel. We had total catch for the day of 80+ Kg. It was a little windy and the seas had some chop but all in all it was a Great day for me and the guys. Enjoy the photos. I hope to send more soon.

Yes, I have been out many times now with the new VSWs. They are Great!! and as you know I am a Big "Penn International" fan. I have been booking my trips with Haris Big Game Fishing out of Chalong. I use the same boat, Captain and deck man every time. The boat is B 10. I use the same crew so they get to know how I fish and we work well together. I hope to be going again this weekend or as soon as I can get some guys together.
