The Great Barracuda is characterized by his extremely sllek body, and elongated head with a pronounced jaw line that frames a vicious set of teeth. Most commonly grey or green along the upper half with a silvery belly. Dark stripes and blotches run along both sides leading to a forked tail.
These fish are found mostly offshore in our region around reefs and wrecks, with the occasional smaller fish possibly venturing into the flats.
Live baitfish and rigged baitfish make for the best natural bait, while tube lures make for the best artificial bait.
