The photos shown to the left were sent to us by a very experienced angler fishing the 'big-fish' waters around Christmas Island off the coast of W.A.
Over the past couple of months he has been testing the new Classic Bluewater F18 on the local Wahoo population. A few of his comments are shown below:
"A bit more on the Bluewater F18 - About 2 hours of trolling jetheads and other minnows had produced no strikes so on the way home I decided to give the redhead F18 a speed test. I set the lure about 20m back and gradually increased the speed. I'd only gone about 300m and was watching the speed reading on the GPS and it was on 19.8kph when this wahoo hit. I popped the lure back out again and was able to run it at up to 24kph with it still running true. Very impressive. That was the first wahoo I had seen for a week so it's not as if there were plenty of them around."
"I have them sussed now and the go is to troll them at about 12 knots. I've been catching some real hooters on them as you can see. Got a big one on the gold F18 this morning, I've already lost the redhead and the yellowfin"
As you can see from his photos and comments, the Wahoo of Christmas Island have certainly taken a liking to the Bluewater F18's. Try them out on your local waters today! |
