Hardtail Scad or Ikan Cincaru Caught at Woodland Jetty

Hardtail Scad or Ikan Cincaru also know as Ngeh Buoy 硬尾 Caught at Woodland Jetty

Early in the morning Ah Wong And Ah Huat called me from Sembawang Park that Hardtail Scad [Megalaspis Cordyla] also know as Ngeh Buoy 硬尾 [Hokkien] or Ikan Cincaru [Malay] are spotted and caught by a few angler at Sembawang Jetty I rush there 10 min from my place but the school are already gone so i made my way to Woodland Jetty I spotted Hardtail Scad or Ikan Cincaru also know as Ngeh Buoy 硬尾 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. 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.

Hardtail Scad [Megalaspis Cordyla] also know as Ngeh Buoy 硬尾 [Hokkien] or Ikan Cincaru [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. They can be easily recognised by the silver body and hard-tail as shown in the picture below:

NParks maybe lifting ban on live bait at Woodland Jetty

National Parks maybe lifting ban on live bait at Woodland Jetty

The undermention article appear on The Straits Time on 12th March 2012 and a chinese version on Lianhe Zaobao - 早报新闻.

By Jessica Lim
The National Parks Board is considering lifting a ban on live bait at Woodlands Waterfront Jetty, after an angler wrote to them on this.

National Parks is now working with him and his regular anglers to self-police, and get all to adopt the correct way to preparing live bait. This will then make the ban unnecessary and irrelevant,' said National Development Minister Khaw Boon Wan in his blog on Sunday. The Straits Times understands, however, than the ban will not be lifted immediately.

The ban was imposed after anglers prepared live bait on the floor and did not clean up after themselves. This left behind a stench and attracted flies, said Mr Khaw, who added that the park had to 'reluctantly' discourage live bait at the jetty.

This, he said, is 'not a good solution as it affects the fishing experience of anglers'. The best solution, he said, is for the community and anglers to take ownership of the jetty's cleanliness.
