Golden Trevally
Another great gamefish, Golden Trevally are powerful fighters, great looking and taste fabulous. They are an inshore fish, only catch them in shallower water. A fairly common catch, we pick them up while variety fishing from the 22’ Mako, usually on a small rapalla.
I’d call this fish exotic trophy species. They have a weird looking mouth, sort of like a Hoover vacuum cleaner, I’ve watched them while snorkeling, they blow out holes in the sand with that tubular set of lips, I suppose to root out crabs & shrimp. It seems odd they would take a shallow running little rapalla, when their mouths look designed for bottom feeding.
Golden Trevally small fry hang around the mouths of Goliath Grouper & Whale Sharks.
