It is the common ponyfish Leiognathus equulus.

Agree with Daryl McPhee phantomphisher, get plenty of them in the cast net when chasing bait.

Definitely not a diamond trevally but a pony fish, mouth extends right out and I don't know anyone who eats them. Pony fish are of the Leiognithidae family.

Diamond trevally have a complete different body shape including the long trailing filaments on its fins.
