Milk at home

My Milkfish nightmares started up this weekend again… and I started asking the question- can a Milkfish be caught in South African waters?  Are they still thick enough to target?

We all know that decades ago they were thick in our home waters, but overfishing has been unkind, and its been years since ive even heard of one being caught.  I posted on a local forum hoping for a hail mary.  And it happened.

The most recent sightings were by a spearo named Rory.  In the week from the post was started he managed to spot the shoals again.  80-100 strong.  On the surface.  Location- Umkomaas.  Imagine that.
