These above results are my experience of land based barramundi fishing in 2010 and 2011.
But I can't catch many Barramundis in August this year.
Normally, I couldn't catch many Barramundis in September.
Did you read the column of NT News (August 22, 2012) by Mr. Glenn Watt.
Title: The Chill factor
●In deep, dense weeds water temperatures stay more stable and fish will still actively feed.
●I always like breakfast in bed when it's cold outside... so do barra!
Very nice column. I agree with him.
Considering my land based barramundi fishing, I think that there should be more stable water temperature somewhere now, and so Barramundis feel more comfortable staying there.
They won't come to the very shallow water around Darwin city now.
Or they don't like a circumstance of the very shallow water now because there were many soft sea weeds on the rocks now. I can't see many small crabs there.
???? I don't know why.
I tried to fish at the tide change tonight.
Tide: Outgoing High

Mr. Mark Parkinson gave me his landbased experience in Barramundi fishing.
I'll try his point and tide next.
I've been a big fan of Mark since I'd watched his DVD.
