Giant Trevally Critterpedia Information

The Giant Trevally is an extra large sized fish you can catch off the Sea (Pier) during the times mentioned above.

How to Catch the Giant Trevally
Note: Rare fish are rare spawns which means some may get it soon while other’s may take a little longer. Don’t give up.
The location to catch the rare Giant Trevally in Animal Crossing New Horizons is the Sea (Pier). The Sea (Pier) location is the wooden dock stretching off your island into the sea. Head to the end of the Pier and fish off of it. Look for Extra Large shadows. If they don’t spawn you can scare away the other fishes and use bait to force other fish types to spawn in.
Infinite Fish Bait: If you feel like using a bit of an exploit to preserve your Fish Bait I have one for you. Craft about 5 – 7 Fish Bait and then save and exit your game. Head back into the game and go to the fishing spot. Here you have about 2.5 Minutes to fish before the game autosaves. Before the autosave triggers simply kill the game via the Nintendo Switch homescreen to have essentially infinite Fish Bait. Repeat this process until you’ve caught the fish you desire.If your island proves to be a bit of a lackluster catching zone you may want to take a trip to a mystery island. Mystery islands have higher fish spawn rates so you are able to cycle through fish in the Sea location much faster.
Focus your time trying to catch the extra large shadows you see appear in the Sea and eventually you will catch the Giant Trevally. This is one of a few rare fish players can catch in Animal Crossing New Horizons.
