This morning i was at bedok jetty jigging for tamban, but due to the change of wing direction etc..bla bla as told by the oldman there the tamban is getting less. But that's lot's of yellowtail and mackerel(BaTang). I manage to hook 2 30cm long mackerel up using sabiki. So guy's you may want to head down there for some jigging

Cool, thanks for the tip. There's possibly bigger mackerels coming in to feed on the tambans too.

Wow!Did you managed to have a photo so you can post it here?

any tips on how to hook the mackerel? i never fish them before. any particular setup? hook size, bait etc? feel like trying soon. anyone wanna go tgt? lol

I do not mind tagging along to learn from you guys that trying this. But do tell me the set up :P

You could try cable car rig for big mackarel and sabiki for small ones.

any bait?

i went on sunday morning abt 5-10am. but didnt get anything significant leh. i use big and small sabikis some put prawn meat. is there a particular spot or setup to use?

Mackerels aren't too picky, or at least the small to medium sized ones aren't. I've seen people and also have personally caught them (about 1-1.5ft) on dead prawns.

I was there for tamban...when i saw some water poping..i cast my Sabiki over the spot...and manage to hook 2 up! Luckily it hook of the side of the mouth!

I came across this video on youtube, it shows a school of queenfish feeding close to the jetty in a frenzy. They're not mackerels but still, it would be pretty exciting to get some hookups from that.

The fishes are there ! You can see but you can't catch ! The fishes are mocking u.... Haha that's the worst part of fishing. But in the end, it depends on you yourself how u enjoy fishing.
I would probably throw a jig or popper down to try, make as much noise as possible !

use sabiki wif the whie white piece of plastic.... i hook up quite a number in southen island... YES I AM BACKKKKKKKKKKKKkkkkkkkkkk

Sry but I'm pretty sure that they are not queenfish but sagai or bumpnose trevally
Anyway that's what the video title says
