The Ultimate GT Popper Fishing
Unleash Your Inner Hunter
On the Great Barrier Reef
On the Great Barrier Reef edges and shallow bommies, when the low tide starts exposing structure and the tropical North Queensland sun shines bright, you cast your heavy popper or stickbait… and then, the battle begins!
Giant Trevally (GTs) are natural, calculated hunters. They won’t just hit your lure; they will smash your surface popper with pure violence. They ambush deep-diving lures, hunting around and under reef structures with mind-blowing speeds, bone-jarring fights, and heavy, screaming runs.
“Be prepared: you will have to work hard all day, and so will we! The sheer aggression of a schooling GT pursuit will change your perspective of sportsfishing forever.”
Full Intensity Sportsfishing
High-fights, heavy drag setups, surface popper popping and fast-sinking deep diving stickbaits.
Intimate Small Groups Only
Strict limit of 3 people max on our GT reef charters to guarantee high safety and plenty of casting decks space.
