Hardtail Scad or Ikan Cincaru also know as Ngeh Buoy 硬尾 Caught at Woodland Jetty 2014

Hardtail Scad [Megalaspis Cordyla] also know as Ngeh Buoy 硬尾 [Hokkien] or Ikan Cincaru [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. 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.
