This week’s G’day Port Douglas and Daintree shares the story of local fisherman Jake who is living the dream.

In the video above, Jake talks about how his life changed when he moved to Port Douglas.

Originally a chef from Adelaide, Jake planned to stay for a mere six months. It's now been nine years and he has perused his love for fishing by starting his own reef fishing business.
