Yes, you can help us. If you know anything about the fish species in our water that may be useful to the fishing community, do chip in. Together we can help our fellow anglers understand their target and catch.
Yes, if you keep an eye on mullet schools long enough you can sometimes see violent water thrashing near them. Those are usually Barramundis but also can be Barracudas as well. Mullets being one of the commonest fish in brackish habitat are the main food source of the Barramundis. Of course, they also feed on other fishes and prawns as well.
Do you mean milkfish bought from tackle shops or the baby milkfishes in the wild? They do target it but big Barramundis will be more interested to chase after larger meals.
It all depends, Milk fish will be more lasting compare to live prawns, as prawns might most likely be attack by other fishes. Comparing milk fish going by per piece and live prawns going by grams, milk fish is definitely expensive if u tend to miscast, the bait falls off. Normally, what most anglers would do is they would get a few pieces of milk fish and few hundred grams of live prawn, and they'll alternate the milk fish if the barramundi doesn't take live prawns.
Fishing is unquestionably a form of madness, but happily, for once bitten, there is no cure. --Francis

Why?To spawn and feed!
Also,they just sem to arrive at night due to less fishing pressure.
I think because there is lesser boat coming around
Fishing interest: into pier fishing, surf casting, jigging just started fishing not long ago. Can be found fishing at bedok Jetty, aspiring to land a queen fish and Barramundi
