Sebarau

Pic 1

Welcome

Commonly known as Sebarau (Hampala macrolepidota in scientific lingo or Hampala Barb by IGFA) in Malaysia. It is the hardest lure hitting fish in the freshwaters here. Anglers working a lure are never in doubt when a sebarau has taken their lure!

 

New!

Malaysian Angler's Website

has been resurrected here.

This was the first Sport Fishing Malaysian website. It was started in 1997. Jeff designed and constructed the website, while I provided the content.

I have uploaded the original content and website format as it was 20 years ago. Hard to imagine, but yes, we had this resource in the previous millineum for anglers! Enjoy!
