Used to be on Pakatoa Island, the cooks would dump the kitchen scraps from the hotel, off the wharf. Some very very big Trevally were caught there...

If you want to see some big trevs go to the wharf at Rarotonga.. the huge GTs that feed on the scraps the comms guys chuck overboard while gutting their catch is mind blowing.
