Scotty Lyons Fish Profile: Silver Trevally

Fish Profile: Silver Trevally
 
Best Areas: Can be found all across Botany Bay and off shore around Sydney, they love structure
 
Best Fishing line and Tackle Combination: Trevally are great sport on light tackle, 4kg to 6kg Mono or Braid is ideal and I like Shimano’s range of rods match with their new bait runners 4000D makes a top outfit.

Best Areas: Coastal Reefs in 35metres to 70metres

Best Fishing line and Tackle combination: I find 10kg Schneider Braid is a must when target Snapper in Winter match to the Shimano SSX Tornado and Spheros 8000 FB, you will need 1.5metres of leader in 10kg mono, sinker at the bottom and one or two hooks above, dropper style rig.

Best Baits: Squid and Pilchards work well but any good fish strips will do as Snapper don’t seem to fussy, Soft plastics are also worth a shot in water depth of 10 to 20metres.

Conditions: Head off shore with west winds flat seas and you will have a great day off Sydney any wind from the South, East will make your day very tough.

Leatherjacket

Best Areas: Over shallow reefs or around structure as Jackets feed and live in these areas

Best Fishing line and Tackle combination: A simple hand line will do the job or a light estuary rod spooled with 4 to 6kg Schneider mono and a small long shank hook number 8 with a spilt shot 300mm up from the hook.

Best Baits: Prawn, Squid or Nippers.

Conditions: Fish any tides but try to find a spot out of the main tidal run.
