GT popping in Kadavu Fiji

I've just returned from 5 days fishing in Kadavu, Fiji. We had fantastic weather and though it was hard work we managed some good fish. We popped for 3 days, jigged for 1 and spent a day chasing marlin, however we only raised one sailfish. We saw a few bust ups from yellowfin tuna but unfortunately no luck at casting a stickbait at them. We were monstered when jigging by some beasts of the deep, and next time I will add a PE8 jigging outfit to the list as a must have. The most successful popper was also the cheapest we had on board, a Kronik big boppa 150 which was almost left at home! The fish took a liking to Baby Runbohs as well, however after 1 fish they were pretty much ruined.
