53cm very powerful Rockcod 230
RAPALA XRD 8

I went to the point B after the point A.
I caught 3 Trevally at the point A this morning.
The point B is the most difficult place for controlling a lure because of thousands of oyster rocks under the shallow water.
I had to negotiate with those rocks.

But I used  this diving minnow.
Using this lure, I must be a very skilled angler under the condition like this.

As a result,
Bingo!!
A 53cm Rockcod was much stronger fish than I had expected.

2 Trevally 32-33
RAPALA XRD 8

The tides were good today.
A gentle breeze rippled the surface of the sea water this morning.
There were some Trevally boils again because of thick Jelly prawns.

New fishing friend of mine, Matt was fishing there.
He also caught Trevally.

RAPALA XRD08 / Glass Ghost is a very, very good lure.
I've caught some nice Barramundi with this lure since last year.
Normally, a Barramundi use lure isn't very good for catching a Trevally at their sudden boil.
But RAPALA XRD08 / Glass Ghost did work every time.
I recommend,
You should buy it!

Sunday morning
Trevally 30-31
RAPALA XRD 8

We had a big rain last night.
I couldn't expect to catch a Barramundi this morning.
But I thought there should be some Trevally boils or Tarpon boils again

RAPALA XR 8 and XRD 8 with Glass Ghost in colour should be a very effective for catching Jelly prawn eaters.
I saw Trevally boil and I cast XRD 8 / Glass Ghost into the boil.
Finally, I caught 2 Trevally this morning.

Thank you very much.

To slice raw fish in Darwin
Sashimi

People eat Sushi these days in Australia.
But, normally, Australian people eat raw fish as if it were something horrible.

Sashimi is said to best exploit the flavor of fresh ingredients.
Keeping fish cold is crucial in order to preserve freshness.

There is a risk of food poisoning, urticaria, and anaphylactic shock from the consumption of fish that is rapidly perishable, that isn't fresh, or that hasn't been prepared in a hygienic manner.

This video show you haw to care for your catch for 'sashimi' as follows,
Iki jime aka spiking a good online guide… Humanely killing your catch | Fishing in South East Australia

I've tried to eat local fish in 'sashimi' in Darwin.

I recommend these following fish for 'sashimi'.

#1. Whiting
#2. Golden snapper (Fingermark)
#3. Spanish flag
#4. Longtail tuna (with Wasabi)
#5. Small Spanish mackerel (with Wasabi)
#6. Coral trout
#7. Cod
#8. Trevally
#9. Garfish
#10. Bluesalmon
#11. Squid (with Wasabi)

I don't recommend these following fish for 'sashimi'.

#1. Barramundi
#2. Jewfish
#3. Darwin's flathead
#4. Piky bream
#5. Queenfish
#6. Serdine

I prefer very thinly sliced raw fish for 'sashimi' in Darwin.
I prefer grated fresh gingers (or garlic) to wasabi paste with special sashimi soy sauce.
You can buy a special sashimi soy sauce at Woolworth or Coles.

Saturday night
Mangrovejack 35
SQUIDGY FISH

The tides were good today.
The moon was full tonight.
It's good.

But I don't prefer windless day for fishing.
I need a gentle breeze.
A gentle breeze ripples the surface of the sea water.

It's a windless night.
So I tried to find an unusual water current.

As a result,  I caught a small Mangrovejack.
Better than nothing.

Saturday lunchtime
Bluesalmon 3
SQUIDGY FISH

The water was clear this morning but became very murky around lunchtime.
This small pink squidgy fish is a technique for catching a Threadfin salmon.
I used this technique for catching a target fish today because I saw many Jelly prawns.

As a result,




Even this size, this Bluesalmon has already been an adult.
Very good eating fish!

I'd like to introduce you our best teacher of catching Threadfin salmon.

Mr. Mark West

Highly experienced professional fishing guide
Highly experienced lure/fly fishing guide

Mr. Mark West taught me as follows,

Threadfin salmon live in the deep water near the mudflats.
A lot of Jelly prawn has been flushed out with the flood.
Threadfin salmon feed on tiny Jelly prawn on the flats.
They chase Jelly prawn along the shallow flats in the rainy season.
They use their whiskers to feel vibrations of Jelly prawn on the bottom.
I must cast a lure into the certain point on the shallow mudflat.
He caught 26lb up Threadfin salmon on fly before.

When we meet a pink water with a shoal of jelly prawn, he recommends me something pink for catching Threadfin salmon in colour.

You could see Mr. Mark West at Fishing and Outdoor World .
