Early January Jigging and Popping with Leo.

Early January 2010 saw us fishing with Leo from Spain, who was on his first trip to the Andaman Islands. Leo was keen on jigging and popping for fish and saw plenty of action during his trip, but not much sun :-)




Above, the end of a hard fought and won battle by Leo. A nice 25+ kilo GT coming to the boat. This fish was taken on the Cubera 150 popper that did really well during this trip.




Leo and the boys with their prize catch before it was released.







Shark on jig! Quite difficult to land and often result in lost jigs. Not our favourite fish to catch, but every now and again one makes it to the boat.







Leo with a nice small GT that fought really hard. It was one of those fish that just had to be photographed and not a fish that'll soon be forgotten.







Another nice GT!


























The pictures above are of some of the fish caught on jig. We fished a new set of deep reefs that had a wide array of fish that take jig. We were quite surprised by the species caught and the number of fish that came up on light jigs.







Another favourite on jig is the coronation trout that are found on reefs here. Apart from being nasty scrappers they taste great! More to come on trips in the future.
