Giant Trevally popping and stickbaiting tackle talk

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 ก.พ. 2018
- Catching GT on poppers and stickbaits has to be one of the most challenging forms of fishing out there, especially off the rocks. The amount of preparation and thought that goes into tackle choices, knots, fighting techniques and location can be the difference between landing a GT or not even seeing one. Here I go back over what I've learnt since the last GT Preparation vid and give you a peek into what I'm using at the moment.

Hi Briggsy My name is Hakan.I'm from Turkey your chase and I'd love to go fishing with you, but that's not possible because I don't have that much money and airplane tickets and equipment, so I just want you to send me the equipment that I can catch over a pound of fish.
Do you give me a gift by signing me a piece of equipment that can catch tuna of 100 kilos and more? I'm grateful to you, and every time I'm following you
I would invite you hunt different fish species in Turkey for you so that fishing
hackan i give u tuna set-up but u gotta show us the best hair transplant in turkey

Hey briggsy what happend to your ns black hole rod. I've been eyeballing the 8'6
Keep putting these out Briggsy...they are a great style and engaging.
Very helpful video Briggsy, i caught my first GT back in 2014 but since then i haven't had an opportunity to target them. Love watching all the tackle talk vids, taking it all on board and slowly stocking up on gear to chase these beasts next year.
Never fished GTs , but you are very informative. And your vids are sick. Thanks for the knowledge Briggsy!!! Much love from the states !!
Love getting vlogs like this helps out heaps when i go into tackle stores and looking for things for big fish. Keep up the good work and looking forward to more vlogs and the new MTF videos. YEEEEEW 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
Awesome, great to here your thoughts, can’t wait for the new series.👍
Huge fan dude thank you for these info vids gt fishing seems very popular but only experts seem to know how to do it so these help out a starting gt fisherman a lot!
Always an epic upload from you Briggsy, love your work champ
keep on feeding the dream of fishing giant crazy GT, love all your videos, big thx
Great stuff... Thanks for taking the time to explain and rationalise to provide us not so experienced with some good caching and guidance. A sincere thank you.
Amazing grear and thanks for sharing this. I wanted to start popping and watching this gave me a whole idea on what gear to use. Big thanks
Off to the tackle shop!! Can't wait for the next Morning Tide release, nice one Briggsy.
can't wait for more stuff, love your work
A progression of catching small to big fish is a good teacher of technique n understanding of what is needed in a big fish. Nothing beats that first hookup on that big quary that sheds all your fear n seeing to refine the fight along the fight.🙏😛 🎣 great job explaining love your videos from across the pond God bless be safe my friend 🙏
Thanx Briggsy!!
Very good advice mate. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏻
Excellent presentation and honest advice.. Well done.
Cheers mate!

Thanks man, great advice. 👌
Your videos are class mate. That style of fishing looks amazing, but at the same time I can see the huge effort that must be put in to be successful. Looks mad exciting though, I wish I lived somewhere warmer
Great post Aaron... always Like to froth on your gear! That ripple fisher has never let you down 👍🏻. Just don’t let Brooksy drag it behind the car!!! 😂

Great work mate
Good vid, really informative helps out us newbys
Great vids man. Just ordered a bunch of Nomad lures to try out here in the NE US (New York). The fall run will be starting soon! They look AMAZING!
Thanks Briggsy
I don't even fish for GT since I live down on the Murray river in Victoria but something about watching you talk about GT lures and gear makes me so intrigued
I live in perth where I dream about hooking a fish that big land based
i live in hawaii, we call them ulua, any gt under 20lb we call them papio. Over here we usually use a dunking rig, huge 14ft poles with baitcasters with shark hooks with octopus/oama/and other small baitfish as bait, but watching mtf for a while i decided to take my 10ft spinner on the rocks with a sick popper, lost my popper to the reef in rough waters, rip 70$ popper.
Tell me about it. I live in almost the center of the united states and i still love these
Ninjuke Too bad most of the fishermen in Hawaii don’t release GT. Do you think the catch and release mentality will take over eventually?
Yuri Picanço Filho yeah thats true, just have to set an example for the younger generation, the only thing we can do.
Great awesome info 🤘😎🤘🏾
Real helpful videos! I think you guys deserve a bigger audience, i’ll do my best in hawaii to advertise your channels!🤙🏾
Cheers bro!
Brigggsssyyyy love the vid 👌🏻👌🏻
Awesome review! Just thinking about spinning for 20-120#bluefin. I really appreciate your suggestions. Thank you so much!
Thanks..very informative
great vid man
briggsy, you are my inspiration. my idol. thank you for all the story you've been shared. ---- your indonesian fan ----
legend perfect lures line and rods !!!
Haha briggsy gonna go in the drink for sure😂
Amazing. You should do these for every fish.
Excelente video 👍🎣😎
Good Shit Briggsy. Headed to Mexico this really helps.
Like always champion stellar work Yeeeew
To good to watch on iPhone .I will save this movie for the big screen.
“Briggsy “
Great informative video Briggsy! I caught a 15kg GT 2 days ago off one of my go to ledges with my Daiwa Demon Blood 962mh V2 with a Shimano 10k Saragosa (50lb braid 80lb leader) with an sxr14 glass ghost xrap! Was a really hard fight but managed to land and release it.
Nice work mate! How do you like the DB 9'6 v2? Did you ever feel the first to compare?
Never felt the old DB 9'6, just saw the old model in your videos and decided to check them out and saw that Daiwa had released the new version and went with that. The new one feels nice and light good to spin with and casts a mile.
Bro i love your content. I dont fish for gt since im in FL, but we do have a fish called jack crevalle, they get up to about 30kg , i use similar lures to these off the jetties. Your content has always been great man keep it up!
Love these tackle-talk vids! I was wondering, in a couple of months I’m going in my first trip chasing GT off the rocks in Tonga. Since I life in Holland I have no one here to teach me haha, could you tell me something about the fight with a GT? Like what to do when you know the fish is going for structure to cut you off and how to adjust the drag during the fight. Keep m coming Briggsy!
I set the drag to start with at I think about 12kg - 15kg and crank it up to around 20kg as soon as it hooks up. If they run even on that setting I tighten until the fish slows down and once i'm pumping them and it feels like they can't take any line I loosen off a bit.
The exception to this is that one fish we saw sitting at the ledge, when I knew there was a chance to hook him I braced myself and tightened up to well over 20kg (could only just turn the spool a few clicks with your hand using all your strength), so because I knew I might hook him I could brace myself and I even had my rod already in the fighting belt when he hit the lure. That kinda thing is very rare though and usually I'm doing what I said first ^.
Those are some crazy drag settings man haha! really makes you respect GT. You reckon a 5500h expo could do the job on medium sized GT in the 10-20 kg range, or would I really need an 8000h expo? since it will be the first time chasing GT I'm not really targeting tho 50kg+ haha. Thanks for the reply by the way, really appreciate the interaction with the fans from you guys!
th-cam.com/video/Ln2xCrBB6Vs/w-d-xo.html
Watch that film mate ^ the first fish Cavy's using a 5500 and that GT is prolly over 30kg
I am a fan of u Briggsy!
Very informative vid. Great work. Any chance of showing how you set up your drag? Before and during a hook up. As simple as it is.
Great idea for a film mate, I'll definitely do that at some point.
love it bro
Good rundown- will certainly be good footage of a locked drag on a 35 kegger off the rocks if nothing else hahaha
Cheers mate that was mint. I’m just getting into it. Brought a penn slammer 3 8500hs with a penn ocean assassin 60-80lb casting 50-190grams.
You should make a video on how you retrieve the stick baits and poppers I know there are many variations but sometimes I just cant seem to get it down
Awesome advice briggsy. I live in PNG and i'm looking forward to go out and try some of these tips. Our local tackle shop doesn't have much variety when it comes to lures. Pretty much the only poppers they sell are Halco roostas. What's your oppinion of those?
They're plastic but pretty strong, not sure if wire through but if they are you should still land your fish if it's strong wire! Just make sure you upgrade the hooks and split rings if you're going for GT with them!
Thanks Briggsy for that great video I want to get three lures for starting out on gt fishing got any top three lures/colours.
Top brother.. tô smp aprendendo com os vídeos 🎣🦈👏👏👏👏
Hey Briggsy, great channel. Have you got a video that talks about left vs right hand wind and why you have chosen, and why you do/have changed sides?
Nice vid
Love my race point 300 and monster ledge 250 from saltywater tackle 🤙🏻🤙🏻
Hello Sir. Briggsy! I had much fun watching all your videos on GT fishijg!! And also I love your gears, the rod and reel.lure and lune!
I really want to own like your rod and reel.
Im Rosendo Y. Pollescas iii from Philippines Cebu Cuty
Brother it is an awesome video. Very informative. Thanks a lot. Would you please suggest me the best split ring plier
Nice!!!
GT fishing is my life goal.
Same here mate haha!
FinnishFisherman I dream of it too!
Hey Briggsy, good video. One question, what length leader do you go for?
Hi mate, most the time it's only about 2m long because I don't cast the knot, I think that the FG banging on the guides over time damages it and you'll get more wind knots, also won't cast as far. The other boys cast their knot and have about 3m leaders, doesn't seem to bother them but I'm just weird. Prolly switch to the 3m leader the day I get reefed with the 2m haha.
Cool video bro.... also love the cinematic look of the video haha... just wanna ask are u crimping your 200lb leader to your swivel or a knot? If so what knot please... 👍🏻
Hi Mate I do a 4 wrap uni Knot, most other fishos i've gone with do the same except Milan from BAF who does 6 wraps I'm pretty sure. I use pliers to pull the tag tight and tie it onto a swivel that's on a lure (not just the swivel) so i can hold the lure to pull against the mainline.
You make awesome videos
Cheers mate!
I'm watching this, enjoying it.... and the nearest GT is few thousand miles away from me :/
Boy will be boys! :D
So to save on money i got a daiwa BW 8ft heavy PE8 rod with Saragosa 20000. Is this good entry level GT Popper combo for someone on budget? Will it still do the job?
I don't know that rod but on most fish it's prolly totally fine, on a massive one maybe run into trouble but they are rare and I think you'll have a great time GT fishing with that setup.
I need to watch myself. I'm starting to talk like you cats and that's not too good for a kiwi :D Loving the vids bro
Awesome videos Briggsy. All good fishing equipments! May I ask where we can order dogfight 8000H in AU? Googled but no effective results, thanks
Such a useful video, many thanks! When you say the rood cast well 100g lures you mean 100g lure + hooks? Also when you say you would not cast more than a 200g lure you mean 200g total including hooks?
85g lure + hooks still casts well for me on this rod and yeah a 170g lure + hooks is prolly the limit (200g-210g total weight I wouldn't want to go over).
Thanks for the replay! Super useful !!
Hello there, im starting to getting into gt fishing and would like to ask you, what's your recommendation for a light gear setup? any changes from this vid?
Great update, mate. You've been on a steep learning curve, good to hear what you've learned. You explain it better than Brooksy, and no distractions with "hot chicks" walking past etc.
Mate, is it possible to pre-order any of the signature lures on the morningtide shop site, for when the next batches arrive?
Hi mate, stoked you dig the film! Pre order not really possible just because if we offered that they prolly all sell before we get them and then have to deal with stuff like we don't get the amount of lures we were expecting because lure builder is flat out and can only do a smaller batch so then people miss out who've already paid etc. But I can tell you there's a lot more to come this year and you'll have more options from different companies.
You guys should make Morning Tide Soft plastic for flathead bream for people who can't get to a place and catch GT And Tuna Spanish
Awesome vid as always! Can't wait for the next MTF vid!! Can you tell us more about the moon cycle? Bigger tides = better fishing?
For me, it's always either the lead up to new or full with a preference to new. The big tides = big current which is the direct connection but, there's also something else happening that I don't really understand where right around the new or full the fish just go absolutely mental (not just GT). Had it a few times where they're just 'on' and other than the moon couldn't tell much of a difference to the previous days in terms of water temp, wind direction, time of day etc. it really seemed like they just lost it on the moon! So if you're planning a trip aim for the lead up to full or new and make sure you fish the peak and a day or two after, try both and see what you reckon but I like new a bit more.
You're a champ Briggsy. Thanks for the insight!
Briggsy!!
Love your video especially in term of being prepared for any situation!!! Could you let me know from this video, which knot you are using (and how to) to attach you swivel with the 200lb Mono! The leader is so thick that a uni knot also doesn't work (for me at least)... Thank you in advance for your answer! All the best.
th-cam.com/video/P8ouZCNq7Nk/w-d-xo.html Hi Mate, I use the Uni, gotta pull it real hard to lock it down!
@@Briggsy Thank you very much! I'll try harder ;-)
love your videos man! yall should do a video on your tattoos!!!
Tats are mostly my kids drawings. I got a couple done years ago and when the kids saw they drew me soooo many more haha, I've got a drawer full of their sketches but waiting to get coin to afford it.
love your video and l like your setup can you tell me... how lb to use for braid
Beautiful ripple fisher rod, would love a long cast
Hey bud, where did you buy the ripple fisher? Cant find it anywhere in OZ.... (spewing) lol
I ordered mine from a place in Singapore called 'anglers hut' it was the cheapest at the time. I think I got mine for about $1000AUD and shipping from Singapore was around $100AUD (I've heard of people getting them for a fair bit cheaper since then, so just dig around see what you can get it for). Really good rod if you can get your hands on one!
Awesome Vids !! How long of a leader do you guys use from the rocks ?
Personally I go about 2m (I don't cast the knot to avoid damaging it and wind knots), the boys use about 3m leaders and cast with the knot above their finger but before the first guide. I'll prolly switch to 3m the same day I get reefed by a GT haha.
Aloha! Just wondering if you throw that FCL labos with your ripple fisher or do you bring a light set up to switch it up? The riptide and labos gotta be around like 40g right?
Hi You must know the Yamaga BlueReef 80/8 rod, right? Do you prefer Ripple Fisher OceanRidge LongCast GT 82? Why? Can you talk more about these two rods? The two rods are dual (?) Which is best for popper, which is the best to stick ... I am looking for a rod that will use for GT fishing and Tunas.
Thanks and congratulations for the videos.
Good vid Briggsy, could you please explain moon phases for the pelagics you chase. We know what ur talking about but i'm guessing most viewers like me don't know what to look for in moon phases.
For me, it's always either the lead up to new or full with a preference for the new. The big tides = big current which is the direct connection but, there's also something else happening that I don't really understand where right around the new or full the fish just go absolutely mental (not just GT).

Cheers mate, thanks for the reply
What’s up brother! Have you ran into any issues using PE 10 braid line on your PE 8 Rod?
Some sick as gear mate one day I be able to afford something half as nice hahahah hopefully
