Many people believe that it should be bad season in land based barramundi fishing in June and July because of the cold water and it should be getting better in August and September because the temperature of the water is getting warmer.
It's very difficult to say 'That's true'.
Actually, I didn't catch many barramundis on our shallows in August and September every year.
It's very, very difficult to catch a barramundi in that period.
And October, November and December were good again
if it's a normal wet season.
(But too wavy water without rains is not good for our land based barramundi fishing in the wet season.)
Normally, it's not so difficult to catch a barramundi in June and July.
Even under the condition of a very cold water, they start biting lures once the water temperature became stable again.
But it's not very easy for beginners to catch many barramundis in this July.
Normally, monsoon rains wash away excess sands from shore.
But we didn't have enough rains in the last wet season.
I see many oyster-rocks covered with or as if with sands under the water on our shallows.
That means that the environment for barramundi is getting worse.
Why can't we catch many barramundis on our shallows in August and September?
There are some factors.
Here is an experiment as a factor as follows,
A water temperature in a water tank in which some fishes are raised is lowered for a prescribed period so as to make some fishes have experience of low temperature, then is rapidly raised, and temperature irritation is applied to individuals of some fishes to induce spawning.
Some fishes will migrate to estuaries of big rivers in August and September.
Some our
sea barramundis and bait fishes wouldn't keep staying on our shallows in that period.
By the way, I caught a 51cm urban barramundi tonight.
I used a very shiny lure for the very clearly cold water.
I recommend the following colours of lures for a clear water.
Especially,
Chartreuse / Green
Very shiny Silver / Gold
