How to Fish GT in Komodo area





Popping is the most exciting way, and thats what we will do ..
Popping/Casting
Some call it casting that the way this sportfishing works is to cast a artificial bait lookalike and play the lure as it is mimic the natural preys of the GT.


In popping, the lure we are using is the wooden floating lure, with 2 barbless hooks, one in the belly of the lure, one on the tail.
We cast the lure the farther and closer to the fishing spot, when it hits the water, the anglers must ' play' the lure so it will mimic wounded prey on the surface of the water.

It called popping by using popper because the lure makes sound 'pop..pop...pop' when the angler play the lure, the concave on the lure makes the sounds when it struck the water surface, so it is popper and popping.

The most exciting part of popping is when the GT strikes the popper from below, Gts will jump and suck the lure, creating a water splash and a sound when it ate the lure. Then this is the time when everyone will yell, " strike...strike..strike..!!!" :D

Other way that if you are on our trolling trips, you may also catch GT.
