Hi Hiro,
I love your website, very inspiring! I live over in Nhulunbuy and I am just getting into land based barra fishing here. I have a tinny but enjoy the land based too and my son Kai is 9 so he is at a good age for shore based. I have bought some good light weight gear and my first session this afternoon resulted in a nice pair of 40cm flatheads - no barra tho'! (using your favourite squidgy fish in silver fox and black gold!) If you reply to my email I will send you a picture.
My Calcutta is really better for trolling, I have a Shimano Antares Version 2 coming which will be a more suitable reel. I will spool it with lighter braid.
Also have a Daiwa Certate spinning reel coming to match a Shimano Raider Soft Plastic Flathead FH6101SP rod.
If you ever have the chance to visit Arnhem Land we would love to see you here in Nhulunbuy, I am sure we could have some good fishing - and eating!
