looks like silver to me. don't goldens have a rounder head?

[jeff f]

not a golden they are gold with black bars at that size

might be a juvenile bludger trevally by the look of it

[James W]

well i thought silver..but i have never seen one in the bay before..are the common in the bay?..fought pretty good too

[James W]

colour is too dark for a silver they are really silver white

I'm pretty sure it is a Silver. It's got the correct body shape and colouration of the fins. Silver's are pretty common in the bay

Here's a picture of a Bludger:) He grunted heaps with no help:D haha [img size=500]http://www.australianfishing.com.au/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/PICT0014_AFO-6cba594d01904a521ad54ea56d643df4.jpg

id go silver

caught a few at sandon and looked very similiar to that

[benno573]

just to throw another name out there - white trevally. they are probably the most common one caught in the bay (unless you are funfisher...) and fight hard. very similar to silver trevally, slightly different dorsal fin structure.

either or, they are both good on the chew as well. bleed and ice straight away and they are great on the barbie.

[James W]

damn..should have kept it...the only trevs i have ate are goldens which were ok to eat and a gt which was pretty average.....so far im leaning towards the white trev as to what is was..cheers benno

[benno573]

no dramas mate, we found a school of them off the cape one day when i was out with jordan and we caught about 100 of them. bloody good little fighters. anything over about 30cm you get a resonable fillet off (no size/bag limit in Qld), they grow to about 50cm and 2kg in local waters. where'd you find that one in the bay if you don't mind me asking? i usually find them over in the trench near moreton.

[James W]

yer benno this trev was caught near off st helena island...i was using 8b braid and it gave it a work out..thought it was a much bigger fish!

[benno573]

thanks for the info mate. they are great when you get one about 40cm off the rocks at tweed or something...

I’d say it’s a white as well. We caught gazillions of them, over 30 I’d say on our Moreton trip last week. Put up a fair fight for their size and were very easy to hook.

theres heaps of them near the tangalooma wrecks on the sand side of em

[sarod420]

Thats either a silver trevally or a juvenile tea leaf!

Definitely a Silver Trevally.

Cowfish, the Trevally you are holding is a Longnose Trevally.

And I still think that Jimmybob's is a Silver:)

really? I thought white trevally was just another name for silvers.
