Stu, Bob and James fished with us last March when we had a freak storm which
hit Myanmar after passing close to Port Blair, we were glad to have them back
and give them a taste of the fishing action that they missed.
This was their second popping trip ever and given that they only fished 2
days last time it was their first real experience with the proper gear of what
heavy drag GT fishing is all about.
We had many, many great strikes, a lots of them captured in real time footage
and also many fish missed that fortunately or unfortunately could have swung the
“Ashes”, but then again if you are popping or jigging for the first time, many
would really be scared when you see a huge bow wave come up behind your popper
and smash it and you are being yanked around before you know what hit you….
A hook up really close to the boat for Stu that nearly ripped his rod out of his hands!
The Cream of all GT strikes for the week, check out this monster as it
crashes a popper!
Here is the link to some of the strikes we had on Popper, truly amazing
stuff, thanks Stu, Bob and James for capturing it for posterity.
It was also a trip to take in the some of the natural beauty of the place as
you can see from the pictures below.

James enjoys the view of bow riding dolphins who we taking a break from smashing
flying fish with the yellow fin tuna.
