I picked up 2 big-eye trevally last Sunday in the Maroochy River.
The first was still in kindie and barely went 30cm the other was about to graduate from primary school and measured 44cms.
Congrats on getting one of the high schoolers .... 66cms is a good size trevor.
Interesting to note that both of mine fell to slugs too. Couldn't get them to bite on poppers!

Once again, nice fish mate.

i thought trevs werent that good on the table but a decent sized one all the same

these raiders really seem to be turning them on lately

[shin25]

thanks for the replies
that big eye beat my pb by nearly 20cm all b4 it have benn avg 40 cm, mate landed a 68. and a 62 was banked by another mate.

last night also hooked a few only landed the one 58cm foul hooked him in the eye and coudnt release was not wasted though.mate landed a 64cm model dropped probally half dozen

tonite had to go again first to hook up but fish wraps me around a rock after many wasted minutes finally snaps off and by the time i tied a new leader on they were gone cpl mates landed and dropped a cpl in the 10 15 mins they were on for.another 15 mins casting not a touch.

herby most of the trevs ive cauaght were on poppers up untill cpl mths ago went back to the metals lovin the slugs cheaper than poppers too a cpl fish hit the slug on the surface good to watch 6+ 60-70cm trvs chasin your metal down tried the poppers but no good too

oztrav theyre not bad chewin and gt's are even better ive always been told they werent that good well they were wrong

[yellahunter]

hey Shin,

what size/type of slugs do you use and how do you retrieve them.
ive flicked a few around this week and had nothing. maybe im doin it wrong?

Big eye isnt to bad to chew if you skin them and take out all the blood line.Nice trev mate,good fun.
