Pomfret has a variety of eating habits, preferring meat, meat bait, such as fresh bait such as shrimp, lean meat and chicken offal, and eating vegetarian food such as corn or granular bait when there is no meat.

Generally speaking, pomfret fishing can be done by boat, which is located on the downstream side of the island reef, and the current is slow, so it can be used as a fishing point. Pomfret spend most of the day in the middle and upper water, and the fishing point is located in this water layer when fishing.
