The diamond trevally (Indian threadfish) ranges along Singapore's shores and offshore, with juveniles venturing close and adults holding deeper reef ground. Its soft mouth means the drag must be set gently or the hook pulls, and it feeds by day around seawalls and jetties, making it a technical target. Catchable all year.
