Stephen Polzin:
Took the missus for a run out to the reef today.  Mainly lazing around on a deserted sand-cay and snorkling but mixed a bit of fishing in too. 

First cast after dropping the missus off at the cay, I hooked up to a monster Cuda.  This thing made such a commotion on the surface at first I thought I'd hooked a dolphin!  Shame I was on my own so was hard to get any decent pics. 

Next was a couple of average trevs found shadowing a huge Manta Ray. 

Back to do some snorkling at the cay, then a few more casts for not much.  Got a nice Shark mack and a couple of follows but things were a bit slow so we anchored up and pulled in a few trout on bait. 

Fantastic day, great weather at a relaxing pace.  Couldn't ask for more. 

Damien Phillip:
WOW! Massive Cuda! Look at those teeth! spectacular conditions aswell. Thanks for sharing.

Tom Grubb:
great photos and thats one big cuda, lucky he didnt chew through your leader, looks like the perfect conditions we had out of townsville yesterday, it was 4pm and still the water looked like glass..

Peter Morris:

Travis Heaps:
