Trevally

Trevally (family: Carangidae) are a group of fast, predatory fish found in both inshore and offshore waters around Australia. These fish are known for their strength and speed, making them a favorite among sport fishermen. They have a sleek, streamlined body and sharp teeth, and are often found in schools hunting smaller fish and crustaceans. There are several species of Trevally in Australia, including the Giant Trevally and the Goldspot Trevally. They are typically found around reefs, drop-offs, and estuaries, where they ambush prey. Trevally are aggressive fighters, often making long runs and acrobatic leaps when hooked. Angling for Trevally typically involves using lures such as poppers, jigs, or live bait. They are caught using medium to heavy tackle, and the best time to fish for them is during dawn or dusk when they are most active. Trevally fishing is popular both from boats and shorelines. Prime fishing locations for Trevally include the waters around northern Queensland, New South Wales, and the Northern Territory. They are also found around coral reefs, making them a popular target for offshore fishing.
