Giant Trevally Fishing in Maldives

Giant Trevally
  • Size 20 to 50lbs
  • Food Value Good
  • Game Qualities Excellent
  • Habitats Nearshore, Offshore, Reef

(Caranx ignobilis)

Giant Trevally is one of the prime big game fish to catch in the Maldives. The arhipelago's reef system lush with marine life is one of the rare places in the world where GT schools in the 30-80lbs range can be commonly found year-round. The flats, on the other hand, will see GTs 10-15lbs chasing schools of baitfish.

All of the islands have perfect GT fishing conditions, so deciding on the charter to book should be determined by where you're staying, as the islands are far apart. View all available charters throughout the archipelago HERE.

I would recommend to bring with you some of the equipment as an addon to the trip although usually equipment will be available on the boat but bringing some good poppers and jigs and some other equipment would be added advantage. For big game, head on directly deep waters which around an hour away from Male

If you are a first-timer, then consider yourself in the safest and best hands. Moosa's patient nature makes him one hell of a teacher/guide. If it's your nth time fishing, then you're still with the best.

Do your research and booking well in advance and make sure the captain knows what kind of fish and fishing you are aiming for.

Go for your target species early In the morning, as this seems to be the time when the fish are feeding the most, and therefore you get the most action! After about 11am, the sun rises and tides change, so the fish are less active. You don't need to book a full 8 hour day, as in my experience we spent 4 hours catching nothing. If you want to catch marlin, insist on the crew using live bait to increase your chances.

The area is heavily fished, so allow enough time for a full day, or overnight, excursion to get out further away from the heavily fished areas.

Stay on an island within reasonable distance by boat from Malรฉ town, in order to have access to a variety of fishing grounds. Consider calling Izzy Didi first.
