The salt water condition here wasn't very bad at that moment.
The best tide shifts with the best fishing point every hour.
I came this point from the other rocks.
The surface of the sea was slightly rippled.
So it was thought that Barramundi wouldn't take soft plastic swimming shads here.
I chose a hard body lure (Shad minnow type).
I will talk only about Barramundi as follows,
Barramundi aren't, probably, convinced that they can catch very healthy live bait fish under the condition of 'Flat surface'.
Barramundi are convinced that they can catch weakened or troubled live bait fish under the condition of 'Flat surface'.
Barramundi are comparatively convinced that they can catch healthy live bait fish under the condition of 'Very rippled-Wavy surface' in the nature world.
On the other hand, Barramundi make a surprise attack from structures under the condition of 'Flat surface'.
It's same as bushwhacking guerrillas attacking from ambush.
We use 'Soft plastic swimming shads' in place of very healthy live bait fish.
So we use 'Soft plastic swimming shads' with a steady retrieving.
We use 'Hard body minnows' in place of weakened or troubled live bait fish.
So we use 'Hard body minnows' with some twitchings and pauses.
As a result,
Barramundi won't take 'Soft plastic swimming shads' under the condition of 'Flat surface'.
I used Gold Bomber under the condition of 'Slightly rippled'.
As a result,
I caught a 57cm very nice keeper sized Barramundi here.
Trevally and Tarpon will take 'Soft plastic swimming shads' under the condition of 'Flat surface' with quick twitchings.
