They used to be so common at bedok jetty now cant even find one.... could it be season?

[Peace]

They can be found around the jetty all year round but it does seem to have more of them at certain times of the year, notably larger ones.

recently ive been trying to catch them for fun while waiting for a biggie but well... cant even see them on the surface anymore

[Peace]

Bedok Jetty has lots of active anglers everyday, so fishes that decide to stay around the jetty will get caught eventually. Like all other predatory fishes, you'll find them more often when the bait fishes are plentiful and when the current is strong.

Saw a pair of enormous ones. Each of them were the length of my arm.

[Peace]

Those are about 2kg, not very common in BJT but they do come in from time to time. St John's island used to have these sizes in large schools but has since diminished from overfishing.
