Re: Milkfish
good bait but bigger speicies are like mini GT......They will snap weak tamban lines............and also bread and alga are really the same to a fish....

Re: Milkfish
You can catch these along our shorelines and can tolerate freshwater. The ones in the pictures are from Sembawang Park.

Re: Milkfish
Lots of predatory fish like milkfish. It is a commonly sold live in tackleshops and fishing ponds as baits. Good thing about milkfish is that they're pretty hardy and don't die easily like tambans.
