G'ay Tom<br><br>Yep a useful link I agree for quick references. This species are real tropical groupies and as Burak mentioned, hole up around reef areas. <br><br>Make for a lot of fun with clients on double and triple hook ups at times too.<br><br>I noticed the rapala and down this way they love poppers with purple and green on them - worked super fast across the surface - or the humble as ever, white bucktail/yak hair jig with a HD 7/0 hook in the rear. <br><br>More often than not the jig will out gun just about everything else in this part of the world. Part of the reason I am such a jig fan. <br><br>They also make for a great tropical curry if you cube the fillet and add some coconut milk, sweet chilli etc. <br><br>Into the Western pacific and also to our north, they get in to XXXOS sizes as can be seen in Jeff's pic above. <br><br>Burnin Thumbs!<br><br>Steve B <br>Moderator Lures/Baits Forum<br><A HREF="http://www.demonjigs.com" target="_new">http://www.demonjigs.com</A>
