Topwater Caranx Ignobilis: Giant Trevally (GT) > Reports & Expeditions

great barrier reef gts

(1/2) > >>

Jordan Hack:
Ventured out to the reefs off Cairns yesterday in ideal conditions (for once). On arrival we were greeted by schools of bait everywhere herded up into very tight nervous balls.The day consisted of about 20 gts averaging between 10-15kg with a few pulled hooks and bust ups on larger fish. Regular double hook ups, a big flowery cod in 27m of water (didn't think they would chase bait on the surface in that much water) and a trout made for a very enjoyable days fishing. Lures - wahoo 125g, cubera 125g and river to sea dumbells

Jordan Hack:
sorry forgot the photos

Travis Heaps:
nice one Jordan.  Weather has been kind along the coast this long weekend.  Is great fun chasing the GTs out at the reef when they are feeding like that.  Cod in that much water is a suprise - any size to the trout?

Jordan Hack:
nah mate the trout was about 50cm, but i got this cool pic of it

Travis Heaps:
holee, that is a very nice pic jordan - great colour and composition.  I see trebles are still the go for you - any reason you prefer them over singles?
