Thank you very much.

Developing new target fish game.
Mr. Timmy Bishop

I had to work today too.
Yesterday and tomorrow as well.

I went fishing after working..
Timmy was there.

I said to Timmy as follows,

We have to develop our Darwin's own new lure fishing.

For examples,

●Bluebone
●Bream
●Whiting
●Flathead
●Rockcod
●Mosesperch (Easy to approach) Super Ultra Light Tackle

We're understanding that our land based Barramundi fishing is sometimes very dangerous and so we need some safer lure fishing.

Timmy and I talked about the new Whiting fishing by Mr. Alex Julius.
He used Evolution jig-head.
Very nicely attractive result.

Whiting fishing should be safer than our land based Barramundi fishing and so we'll follow Alex's trial in Darwin too.

I recommend Mosesperch for our new land based lure fishing to Timmy.
Mosesperch is a very small fish.
Normally most of anglers aren't interested in catching a Mosesperch.
Using a very, very light fishing rod, for example, 2LB-4LB line weight class should be very fun.
Mosesperch lives everywhere in Darwin.
Anytime you can catch this target fish.
Mosesperch likes lures and fights very well.
It is thought that Mosesperch lure fishing should be very, very good and safe for family lure fishing people.

I sometimes said that Timmy's retrieving technique is superior to mine.

I couldn't catch any Mosesperch and Rockcod today.
Many drifting seaweeds were disturbing our fishing.
However, Timmy showed his nice retrieving technique to me.




Using his technique, Mosesperch should be a one of the best target fish for new family lure fishing by land based in Darwin.




Not too easy.  That's why people will be immersed in catching a Mosesperch and Rockcod.
Thanks for your showing your technique for my blog.
☆⌒(*^-゚)v Thanks!! Timmy.

Timmy hooked up two nice sized Barramundis today.
I saw a huge jump of a 50-60cm Barramundi.
Great 1m and higher jump!
He lost the fish.

Timmy started using ST.CROIX fishing rod now.

By the way,
Do you know about Timmy Bishop?
He's a professional musician.
Bass guitar artist.
He uses Fender USA Bass.  Wow!




Timmy said as follows,

Is for a band called RUMOUR which I am still playing in, we are only doing Friday nights every week at Beachfront Hotel in Nightcliff as well as the occasional corporate event.

Timmy is very nice person.
He's a very, very good friend of mine.

How to suspend a lure?
RAPALA XR-8 Deep

Suspend minnow

When there weren't many rocks under the water, if not too shallow, a suspend minnow should be very effective against any estuary fishes.

●I saw that some beginners twitched a suspend minnow too much.

Especially a deep diver minnow, I sometimes had a very long pause after twitching.
Probably you would be surprised at my 10 seconds-pause.

In my case:

Lure: RAPALA XR-8 Deep diver

Action 1: Twitch, twitch and 3-10 seconds pause

Action 2: Twitch and 3-10 seconds pause

Action 3: Twitch, twitch, twitch and 3-10 seconds pause

●Choosing a proper fishing rod to match the lure is the most important factor.

26 Jul 2012

I'm hesitating about wading in up to my knee.


I fell into the water on July 7.
My arm and knee were injured.




The wound hasn't closed.
The salt water smarted when it was put on wound.




I know you don't want to see this above picture.
It's a 7mm deep wound.
New skin hasn't grown yet at all.
The wound hasn't dried yet.

Oyster rocks are very dangerous.

Bluebone as a main target
Storm Twitching Nipper
Mr. Stephen Abala

I asked Mr. Stephen Abala whether Bluebone becomes a main target fish by a lure in Darwin?

I believe that Bluebone will be a very attractive target fish for lure-fishing in Darwin.

●Bluebone is a very, very strong fighter.
●Bluebone is a very, very good eating fish.

Stephen knows where he can catch a Bluebone very well.
He showed us that we can enjoy catching a Bluebone by a lure  this time.

I received an e-mail from Stephen (Bully) tonight.


Hey Hiro,

See pic as promised.  This one caught in 2.5m clear water on storm prawn imitation cast and retrieved throgh dust clouds while it was diggin around the bottom.  Stella 1000 /Stcroix spin stick.  Its refreshing to see your efforts around the town fishing, it indicates your passion for fishing.

Bully

☆⌒(*^-゚)v Thanks!! Bully.




Look at the size!
What a beautiful fish is!




Water: Clear 2.5m deep

Lure: Storm TWITCHING NIPPER

Sunday fishing
The cold water
Mosesperch
ATOMIC

Match the bait

I saw many small fishes in the water.
Probably, they're called "Goby".

I found a small lure looked Goby in Chonga's lure collection.




What kind of fish want to eat Goby here?

The proof of the pudding is in the eating.

I casted this lure.

As a result,




Mosesperch took this lure at 1st. cast.




Another Mosesperch took it at 2nd. cast.

After all, 5 Mosesperch took it one after another.

There was something persuasive in this story.

Match the bait
