Normally, many big monsoon rains running into the sea wash away excess sand from shore.
It's a very important procedure to our land based barramundi fishing.
Land origin, ground water's influence always should be very big.
The above rock was on the region of a seashore, called intertidal zone just after a good monsoon season in 2010.
It's a very healthy condition.
The rock was totally covered with microscopic plants. (very important)
Mullet feed on these microscopic plants.
I saw many mullets stuck to these healthy rocks in the water just after a good monsoon season.
But we can't see this above situation on the shallows this year because many rocks are covered with or as if with sand in the water.
In addition, many oyster-rocks were covered with or as if with sand in the water too.
As a result, the population of crustaceans are decreasing.
Barramundi and Rockcod lost their spaces on the shallows.
If we had a good monsoon season, we would have many mullets on the shallows.
And we would catch some nice sized barramundis on top-water lures as follows,
Lure: LUCKY CRAFT SAMMY 115mm / BROWN HITCH
Location: Fannie Bay in 2010
Lure: LUCKY CRAFT SAMMY 115mm / AMERICAN SHAD
Location: Cullen Bay - Mindil in 2010
After all, it is up to monsoon season to be a good season for land based barramundi fishing.

Thank you very much.
