Caught Selar Using Tamban Jig

Caught Selar Using Tamban Jig at Woodland Jetty

While jigging for live bait using tambam jig I caught this Yellowtail Scad [Atule Mate] also know as Sek La 色腊[Chinese], Selar[Malay], a very interesting experience. I thought this jetty was famous for it Tamban [Common Name(s): White Sardinella, White Tamban] and Assam [Common Name(s): Five-spot Herring, Kelee shad] it really caught me by suprise.

Yellowtail Scad [Atule Mate] also know as Sek La 色腊[Chinese], Selar[Malay], is often encountered in school(s). They move with the current and feed from midwater to surface which often can be seen and heard from a distance away. They can typically grow at least twice the size of a Yellowstripe Scad but the meat is slightly coarse. Can be caught using sabiki jigs but are more effective with use of small shrimps. Berlying some bait will help keep the school from moving on with the current.

Yellowtail Scad [Atule Mate] also know as Sek La 色腊[Chinese], Selar[Malay], typically can be encountered as the tide just started to rise, moving along shorelines or reef fringes as they feed. They tend to cover an area more than once if there is food available.
