Giant Trevally fishing Madness!!

[Reefari]

Good Video, but camera wasn't the best,

Cheers Greg

[MaiBlairdPansyFryx]

This is cool

[leighsa49]

Nice fish boys. What time of year was this? I was up cairns way in May, spent a whole day chucking lures and sliders round Arlington, Had 6-7 bigg fish follow the lures right to the boat but never got a hit. They bite better in the Warmer months?

Cheers Leigh

[Reefari]

Giant trevally can be funny things, depends what mood there in, When they're fired up they'll smash anything that moves, and other times, they'll have a look, but won't touch it, seen it alot, but that's fishing and that's what keeps you coming back for more. Giant trevally are fairly residential and around all year,

Cheers Greg

[Reefari]

The reel is a Penn Spinfisher, good basic reel to start with for Giant trevally, but better quality reels around. Not sure on the Rod, Look at Shimano gear, good quality brand,

Cheers Greg

[XxURBANATORxX]

what type of rod and reel was that......and great fish too :)

[xIMxAwSoMeZx]

how many lbs was the first trevally?

[Reefari]

Would've been around 30lbs for the first Giant Trevally which was released, Great sportsfish, they pull hard and not much good for eating,

Cheers Greg

[DalvisSeh]

what rod is it? it seriously has a funny bend to it.

[Reefari]

Not sure on that one, Penn Spinfisher reel, not sure on the fishing rod used sorry.

Cheers Greg

[bosommm]

Dont u eat Trevally guys??

[Reefari]

You can eat trevally and Giant trevally, but we're spoilt with great reef fish and alot better eating. GT's are great sport and alot of fun, and too good to catch once, so prefer to catch again,

Cheers Greg

[busjetheemuts]

where do ya fish?

[Reefari]

we're based out of Mackay, Queensland, Australia. This was out on the Great Barrier Reef, at Trogibee reef, 150 kilometres or so offshore, and some great reef fishing, Giant trevally and Spanish Mackerel as well,

Cheers Greg

[flipsk8ter1080]

iv caught crappie that big!

[Reefari]

We've caught bigger, this is an average Giant Trevally off Mackay, our best around 35kg's, but quality fish and weather, Nice Spanish Mackerel too,

Cheers Greg

[FilthyGhettoKid]

Jack

[Reefari]

We fish the Reefs off Mackay, and some Great Giant Trevally action at times, and plenty of excellant reef fishing as well. Perfect day, nice and dead calm in behind the reef, sheltered and protected from the ocean swell,

Cheers Greg

[Praveen501]

Fat Ass alright, love it, Giant trevally fishing is the best,

Cheers Greg

[TheMoroccanPalce]

[Reefari]

Great english, and Great fishing for Giant Trevally, some nice Spanish too!!

Cheers Greg

[kurkaussie]

couldn't ask for better weather!

[Reefari]

You gotta get lucky occasionally, and some days are truly magic on the Reef,

Cheers Greg

[blob31900]

Which was harder to fight?

[Reefari]

I'd say the Giant Trevally, heaps of grunt, But Spanish Mackerel have faster runs,

cheers Greg

[Reefari]

Top Spanish Mackerel, wouldve gone at least 25 kg's, got a few that day, plus some good Giant Trevally,

Cheers Greg

[sdthird10]

nice mackerel

[Reefari]

I like to use a double in the braid, either Spiderhitch or Bimini twist, then an albright with the double onto the mono leader. Usually run about 100 - 150 lb Mono leader for Giant Trevally, about a metre or more, but not too long that you cast through your guides, will weaken and undo the knots with repeated casts.

Cheers Greg

[JonoELoco]

BABAAA

[Reefari]

Good fun with all giant trevally released,

cheers Greg

[5tonyvvvv]

@Reefari have u ever used a wire leader? i do cause u never know whats goin to hit your lure big wahoo or tuna.i lost a huge GT.using a mono leader got in some rocks..

[Reefari]

On our mackerel lures we run wire, but with poppers for Giant Trevally, 100lb mono is usually enough

Cheers Greg

[5tonyvvvv]

@Reefari what knots do u tie for your 100 mono leaders?

[Reefari]

This one was on a three day trip out to Trogibee Reef, out past Kindemar Reef, off Mackay, some great Fish, including several Giant Trevally and a Monster spanish mackerel, About 75 nautical miles out.

Cheers Greg

[Pulsy4]

were is that

[EvlDestiny]

Can you troll poppers etc?

[Reefari]

Can Do, Trolling poppers with lures is a great way when fishing new ground or reef edges, and can help in finding where the Giant trevally are holding, recommend running the poppers down the side closest to the reef or structures, as Giant trevally will hold in nice and close,

cheers Greg

[EvlDestiny]

@Reefari Ah I see. iof you do troll around reefs, do poppers work with coral trout or cod?

[Reefari]

Works at times for Giant trevally, will get cod and coral trout more on your deep diving lures. Best bet is to work the reef edges with poppers, working it off the shallows into the deep and you will get more Cod and Coral trout on the edge as it drops off into deeper water, do this drifting or motoring along slowly, Good fun and a great way to work a fair bit of country

cheers Greg

[bilboy72]

really sportfishing !!! fun and preserve the nature !!! u guys are fantastic !

[Reefari]

You gotta Love Giant Trevally, Awesome fun and fight, and always great to see swim off, Thanks for the compliment,

Just too good to catch once,

Cheers Greg

[dowdes01]

I enjoyed your video and i cant wait to get a nice big Spanish Mackeral myself,

Cheers Susanne.

[Reefari]

Hi, Both awesome fish, Spanish mackerel have plenty of speed, but hard to beat a Giant Trevally for pure grunt,

Cheers Greg
