Silver Trevally Fishing Reports from Victoria have tended to be more common from Westernport Bay and the South Eastern edge of Port Phillip Bay. With ocean beaches and estuaries being pretty equal with Westernport.
Often caught when targeting snapper and bream. It’s not unusual for fishers to catch them on bait or lures.
This species is prone to attack by the Tongue Eating Louse aka the “Doctor” (Cymothoa exigua.) Apart from the creep factor these parasites due not affect the quality of the flesh of the fish.
Scientific Name: Pseudocaranx spp.
