geshy Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Me and my brother decided to try a spot in noosa and as soon as we got there we could see garfish getting smashed of the surface so we threw the cast net and got bout 15 gar so started using them live my first livie got smashed by this trevally can any confirm its a little gt? Then second livie ended up being smashed by this estuary cod which took me around a pilon full of oysters lucky the leader didn’t snap and he come out then lastly got this little mangrove jack then things went abit quite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackfish Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Good work Geshy, 3 different species of fish in 3 casts. The Cod is a Estuary/ Goldspotted Cod and the Trevally, I recon is a GT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackfish Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Mate I must have been drinking, the Cod is a Blackspotted / Malabar Cod. (Common names vary) I'll go and give myself a uppercut. And the Jack is a Jack, no denying that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackfish Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Quote Oh so it isn’t a estuary COD? That is correct mate. Now this is where it gets confusing. Queensland Government calls this one and the Goldspotted a "Estuary Cod" Its a Malabar Grouper/ Blackspotted Rockcod. So is it a Grouper or a Rockcod, buggered if I know but at the end of the day its a "Epinephelus malabarricus". Bloody common names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mgj Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 (edited) Definitely a black trevally-dirt doesn’t do that.Everything on that fish is black,including the fins.It is not a ‘Papuan’ Trevally,which is basically a GT ie silver coloured with a black hue in parts of it’s flanks.Your fish is totally black.

BIGG DADDA TREVS Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 I'm not familiar with fishing up north but it does look like a GT, the tail and overall shape matches, however all the coloration is different and the eye is very large, looking like a greater trevally caranx sexfasciatus.
