Jordan Hack:
awesome conditions on the weekend so ventured out to my favorite piece of reef in the cairns vicinity about 70km off the coast. Gts were chewing their heads off with countless strikes, plenty of hookups and quite a few fish landed. Macks (shark and spanish) were also getting in on the act. Nothing quite like mackeral and gts both competing for the same lure. Highlights included a spanish launching clear with cubera in mouth, drops it mid air, lure lands and is smashed by a gt as soon as it hit the water, numerous strikes involving several competing fish and some pretty cool underwater snaps that I took.

Jordan Hack:

Travis Heaps:
Nice work Jordan - make the most of the good weather I say. 

Great photo of the GT underwater with Cubera halfway down its gob.  Warwick and I were just saying the other day how we've never had a fish swallow a lure like that - they're always hooked up on the outside of the mouth...do you work your poppers slow with a pause?  We generally work our pretty fast...that's the only thing I can put it down too?
