Hi every1 would any1 have sum tips on catchn coral trouts 

Troll over the area with hard bodies until you get one then throw 6 inch plastics in the area you got that one, normally you can nail 3 or 4 from the same area if your trying where I think you are. Keep moving around and use your fish finder give each spot 20 mins if you don't hook up move on.

Hi Snapper Scotty

Trolling around coral reefs will hopefully see you get some with deep divers.

Trout can also be caught very efficiently on bait, such as mullet, pilchard, gar, etc. Put a sinker on enough to get down and try and get them.

I hope to hear a report, good luck.

Cheers Hamish 🙂 

P.S. Next time maybe you could type properly without texting slang?

Dunno if it will work down south there, but back when I used to boat fish the halco scorpion 150's in the 'mullet' colour in the 5m diver version trolled over reef in 10-20m of water were deadly. You have to troll them on braid (so they wobble really hard - mono has too much stretch so they dont wobble as hard), and troll as fast as they can take - about 6.5-7 knots. You may need to adjust the bib to get them to swim completely straight.

Also worked was the halco laser pro 190 in the 'mullet' and the blue colours, in the 'crazy deep' version - note the crazy deeps always need adjusting so they swim straight. Again troll as fast as possible - about 5.5-6.2 knots. Use in 20-30m of water over reef. The wahoo also love them if you go off the reef to about 80m depth. Big GT's in 10-20m of water love these too.

Once you get a fish troll back over the same area.

Back when I lived in Kiribati (see: https://www.facebook.com/betiofishos/) I trolled with others in the boat using various other lures/ rigged baits, and I reckon 19 strikes in 20 were on my rig.

Must troll on braid (with 2m of jinkai leader to absorb some shock, and 6 inch wire at the lure), and troll as fast as they will go (after adjusting so they swim straight.
