Giant Trevally

Saltwater · Sodwana Bay & Mozambique
WhereThe reefs, gullies and drop-offs of Sodwana Bay and southern Mozambique — the GT's brutal home turf.
How We Target ThemOur signature fishery: casting poppers and stickbaits (including handcrafted Life Like Lures) across the reef, then hanging on through explosive surface strikes and reef-bound runs.

Saltwater · Cape Town · Sodwana & Mozambique
WhereThe deep offshore grounds off Cape Town produce the giants; the warm current off Sodwana and Mozambique holds them too.
How We Target ThemTrolling lures and skirts along temperature breaks, drifting bait on the chum line, and casting to surface-feeding schools when they show.

Saltwater · Sodwana Bay & Mozambique
WhereThe inshore and offshore reefs off Sodwana Bay and the Mozambican coast.
How We Target ThemSlow-trolling live and dead baits on wire traces, and pulling spoons and Rapalas along the reef edges. Fast, toothy, and superb on the plate.
