Giant Trevally (Caranx ignobilis) are one of the most exciting gamefish you can target on Florida City flats. These powerful predators are known for their aggressive strikes and impressive fighting ability that will test both your tackle and technique. While commonly associated with Indo-Pacific waters, Florida City offers a unique opportunity to target these prized fish in a flats environment. GTs tend to patrol the edges of flats during changing tides, looking for baitfish and crustaceans to ambush. Their silver coloration makes them visible in clear water, making sight fishing particularly effective. When hooked, expect powerful runs and determined fights that can last 15-30 minutes even on heavy tackle. Fall through early winter tends to be prime time for GT action in our waters, with the fish becoming more concentrated as temperatures begin to shift. Both artificial lures and live baits can be effective, though Ray prefers specific techniques based on daily conditions.
When you book with Ray Shetty, your flats fishing trip typically begins early morning (around 6-7am) to take advantage of prime feeding times. We provide all the necessary fishing gear including rods, reels, tackle, and bait specifically selected for Giant Trevally. Wear comfortable clothing appropriate for the weather, polarized sunglasses (essential for sight fishing), sun protection, and non-marking shoes. Trips include bottled water, but feel free to bring additional snacks or drinks. Our charters are suitable for both experienced anglers looking to target trophy GTs and beginners wanting to learn proper flats fishing techniques. Children are welcome when accompanied by adults. A camera or phone for photos is highly recommended – you'll want to document your catches before our careful release practices return these magnificent fish to the water.
