How to Fish for Milkfish
Written by Edwin Rodina
All fishes can be caught by hook and line if one follows fishing’s greatest tenet and best well-known secret: ‘Find what the fish feeds on and use it for bait’.

It is doubly important when one is exploring a new fishing area because fish feeds on available forage items, and what is available locally may not be what you have been using.
This tenet is thus naturally applicable to fishing for milkfish, Chanos chanos. Depending on where it is found, milkfish may be caught using various baits and different methods. For example, we have been successful using fish roe as bait because that was the most common food in the area we fished before. So therefore we caught not only milkfish but all other fishes as well, including mullet, croakers, snappers and an occasional gar or two. The area was near a fish processing facility, and all natural trash is dumped into the shallows. Fish entrails, gills, fins, skin, and scales abound in the area collecting all kinds of sea creatures that feed on them.
