Noosa River Trevally

[philip_thomson]

Have come back from a week up at noosa

the fish were in the woods bay but there was a lot of water between them

armed with a stradic 2500 loaded with 8lb superbraid and 16lb sunline Rock flurocarbon leader on the t curve 7ft 2-5kg stick

i went and gave it a shot

the fish were only hitting speratically and they were very hard to get to take a squidgy stealth prawn

eventually i got slammed just as stumps were going to be pulled

the fish took us from 1 end of the bay to the other and after a good 10minute struggle

the fish was in the boat

went 69cm 3kg

Cheers Phil

anyone know the exact species?

[ffejsmada]

Mate that'a a great fish. I don't know what specie that one is but it's a bloody beauty!!

I was fishing Woods Bay sat arvo, same thing, fish boiling everywhere, no takers but eventually hooked a huge trevally, after ten minutes, pulled the bloody hooks.

Went out sunday arvo, not as much action but picked up a 54cm Broad Barred.

There's been Queenies, Tailor, a few species of Trevally, and of course Broad Barred Mackerel around the Noosa River the last week or two.

Phil,
Can you post anymore photos of that fish?
It's hard to tell what it is with it's mouth like that.

Cale cale trevally perhaps? It's got the shimmer of a diamond but not really the shape. I think they have another name, can't remember what it was though. Would have been great fun I'm sure.

I think it's either that or a long-nose trevally
