Team Rapala and GOMOKU – Part II
For Fish On and the Rapala team we were really looking for where to catch few of the GT’s Sri Lanka is getting well known for and to try an innovative light jigging technique called “GOMOKU”
A BIT ABOUT GOMOKU
GOMOKU is a Japanese technique of fishing for survival and also a checkers like game, and now Storm has refined the Gomoku way into a new, any one can, concept for anglers.
Gomoku techniques allow anglers to use traditional vertical jigging methods on a much smaller scale – a proven Japanese method of targeting a large variety of species in different conditions. This is an ideal, almost guaranteed result fishing for inshore and light offshore
We decided to give the offshore fishing a go as the forecast seemed to be a little better but there was the chance of another depression building so it was touch and go, unpredictable weather is something we need to live with in the tropics these days and accept. So it was time for early departures at first light with the weather seeming a bit better early in the mornings.
Fred is the first one into a GT, his popper must have landed smack on the GT’s head because he did not need to even move it, he is using a new prototype rod that meant for lighter fish and he had a workout
But the end result was rewarding with a nice fish to start off the trip, we had a few more short strikes that morning before the waves started to pick up and we decided to try out this Gomoku thing!!
Gomoku does work and it works very well, its great fun with fish up to average size and I am sure with luck, you could land fair size fish, but its easy on the body and not hard work with lots of results so something to try out for sure. And it hooks almost all species; here is Aaron with nice grouper on the Gomoku.
Moral of the Story never give up!!! Period.
