Had a quick throw around in the river this afternoon.
Hits nearly every cast with very very small GT's being the culprits.
Landed numerous little GT's before landing a very welcome little diamond trevally.
My mate Nick (abbott_86) also managed a very nice 50cm Golden trevally.
Not bad for an hour session.

Gday Pete,
Great session mate and nothing like a productive shore bash - I LOVE iT! Uncomplicated / hassle free and can be still very productive.
Nice fish those Diamond Trevally mate and I managed to get this bugger when in Noosa als0 - around from Dog Beach.....(from memory)....

They arent very common up here,fished all my life to get just one,took a mate that can hardly fish n he gets a cracker...thats the beauty of fishing i guess..its a great equaliser..:)
Very nice Ben,:cool:
They are beautifull fish,the diamonds.
Although quite a few show up every year here I still regard them as 'not a real common capture' ..... Normally its big eye trevally and GT's that make up the bulk of captures.
Pete
Yea i just got word that the little queenies n bigeyes have made an appearance in the local river,so may have a fly assault this weekend,even with the small tides..all great fun..
Gday Pete / Chewy,
When fishing around this area this was the last thing i expected to catch....wasnt even on my 'what if' or 'possible' captures. It was only a small one but first time I have ever seen this species of fish in real.
I wonder why it has such long 'tenticles' features coming from its dorsal fin....I wonder what benefit it plays for this fish? Anyone know...
The thing is - just before I caught this fish, I lost a big flathead that would of gone around 55cm around 2 metres from me after a big head shake - spewin'!!!!
Cheers - Benno
They most probably use the long 'tenticles' to hunt.Quote:

Just a guess but it makes sense.
When the diamonds get big they lose the tenticles.
Pete
Hi Pete,
Good point and I was thinking (scary) I wonder if it plays a part in attracting small baitfish?
So many theories...but I am agreeing with yours....seems logical.
Cheers - Benno
Nice goin' Pete. Those Diamonds have a pretty good weight to fight ratio. They get on their side and can be hard to get moving. More so then Big Eye's and the more common ones anyway.
Troy
