Overview: about pilot fish
Pilot fish are schooling predators found in Victorian waters, known for their speed and agility. They can be caught using small jigs, metal slices and tiny soft plastics in 10-50m, often while targeting other species. Smaller pilot fish often swim alongside sharks, making them a useful indicator species.
