Yellowfin Seabream fishing

Acanthopagrus arabicus

About Yellowfin Seabream

A hardy seabream of the Arabian Gulf and Indian Ocean, found around rocks, jetties, harbours and estuaries, foraging for crabs, shellfish and worms. It takes prawn, crab, squid and small soft baits on light bottom or float rigs, often best in cooler hours and on a moving tide. Wary and surprisingly strong, it bites lightly then bolts for structure, so stay alert and keep steady pressure.

Typical size: Typically 0.3 to 1 kg; trophy fish over 2 kg. Record (approx.): approx. 2.5 kg (varies by region).
