Brassy Trevally

Fast, agressive and full of power, Brassy Trevally are first cousins with the Giant Trevally. Defined by yellow tips to their dorsal and tail fins plus scattered black speckles along their backs. Brassy Trevally are considered excellent table fish.

Found in tropical waters along with the rest of the trevally family, these predatory fish chase down baitfish in shallow water and usually hunt in schools. As juveniles, they may feed on crustaceans and squid, changing to a diet of fish as they mature. They have no hesitation in taking flies so it's a thrilling ride when you hook a big one, as they are extremely feisty and powerful!
