Normally, we can't expect a good result of the land based fishing around Darwin city just after a big rain.
Barramundi can live in both fresh and salt water.
Therefore we can catch barramundi after a big rain in purely freshwater environments.
This is because we can find bait fishes, shrimp and crayfish that live in most freshwater habitats even after rain.
It's very hard to find such a freshwater environment in the region of Darwin City.
I still fish the shore when it is rainy, but it is not the ideal time.
In
my experience, the best time for catching many good-size saltwater
barramundi from the shore in the rainy season is when we have had no
rainy for 24 hours.
To stretch a point, my very good friend, Chonga said to me, there may be some possibilities in an urban creek under the condition as above.
So I went to Ben's Point.
I also have an another reason why I wanted to come here.
I wanted to test Reidy's new lure at the muddy water like a Shady Camp.
I've already known that this Reidy's shallow diving lure was very, very good for the shallow water.
As a result,
I caught a very nice 56cm Barramundi.
Reidy's Shallow diver prototype is a very good lure.
