Overview: about yellowstripe scad
Small but feisty trevally found in WA's inshore and offshore waters, often around reefs and structure. Target them with small jigs, lures and baits in 40-60m, particularly at night when they're most active. Not a food fish due to their small size, but fun on light tackle.
