Hooking Up Anglers Since 2011.
The biggest and most fearsome of the trevally clan, giant trevally have become a premier sportfish across the fishing world and WA is fortunate to offer some exceptional fishing for them. Read the full story in this week's Scott's Species here. Recfishwest's own Partnerships and Business Development Manager, Tim Grose, caught this GT during a trip to Exmouth.

Dinghy and small boat fishers have been regularly picking up their limits of squid within the bay where herring, snook and small barracouta seem to be about in big numbers. Queen snapper and harlequin fish were among the species caught near the islands. Those who travelled wide scored nannygai to 50cm, breaksea cod, bigger queen snapper and harlequin fish. Schools of yellowtail kingfish and samson fish were located in many areas.
Reef fishers have been doing reasonably well on dhufish, queen snapper, breaksea cod and pink snapper in 30m to 50m off the west coast. More pink snapper have been picked up within Geographe Bay, especially on anchor early morning and evening along Four Mile Reef and Eight Mile Reef. Peter from PJfishingwa landed this personal best snapper going 95cm and released it. Looks like it been a great week for pinkies around the South West! Great work, Peter! Alongside Jake, Samantha also was able to land a few snapper of her own. Looks like it was a successful day out on the boat! King George whiting catches are improving inshore and there seems to be a lot more squid being caught along the seagrass beds. Schools of bonito have been encountered off Eagle Bay and Bunker Bay.
