Topwater Caranx Ignobilis: Giant Trevally (GT) > Tackle & Techniques

Is our favourite fish getting smarter?

<< < (2/2)

Sachin Chaudhry:
2 to 3 days around the new moon and 2 to 5 days before the full moon tends to raise the biggest fish in my opinion. The couple of days before the full moon (especially if the high tide is an hour or so before sunset) also has them at their most aggressive I reckon.

Stephen Polzin:
Any fish is going to learn from it's mistakes.  There's some well known spots up here where the big GT's are thick as thieves, but they won't take a lure, and baits can't show any hook or they'll be rejected.  Quite often you have to scale leader back to 50lb mono just to get a bite (and then hope it's been hooked in the lip)

Best phase 2 days before new onwards until/including new moon.  Have had some incredible action in that period.
