Fish I.D please (GT and Bigeye Trevally)

[Adsy91]

Anyone familiar with GT's and Bigeye Trevally?

Pretty sure I got a few juvenile GT today but not one to call it if I'm unsure so I'll leave it up to the bioligists and northern waters guys

Here's a bigeye from yesterday for comparison

Cheers

I recon the first is a Juvenile GT Caranx ignobilis

And the second is a Big Eye Trevally Caranax sexfasciatus

As you thought.

Great fun on the light gear.

Beauty thanks for the clarification! Certainly had me testing my skill on 6lb in the oyster leases

Yep, Blackfish is spot on.

We get them both up here on the Tweed.

If there are plenty around try ripping a small popper over the

top of them for some real fun. The surface hits, even from

juvenile fish, is something else!

I managed a few on poppers chasing jacks in brisbane but I stupidly only brought light winter breaming gear =/ I thought about trying to rig up a home made popper with what I could find lying around but decided my time was better spent fishing with what I had. Definitely will come back more prepared next time now I know where they like to hide.

Thanks for the replies guys

Looks like your initial thoughts on the fish were correct. Thanks all.
