I didn't expect to catch a barramundi on our shallows and so went to family-type rocks at East Point.
I usually don't come this place.
There were 10 people there.
They tried to catch fish with squid bait.
I used a blade lure.
As a result, I caught two small reef cods.

By the way,
I was frustrated recently because I didn't catch barramundis.
So I needed to challenge a big fish to a fight.
I have a card up my sleeve.
I know that I can catch a big fish comparably easier by land based in this season too.
It's a big shovel nosed ray.
The 1m - 1.2m sized one will be caught.
I went fishing to the jetty of Darwin Stokes hill wharf around 7:30am on Sunday.
My fishing gears today as follows,
Reel: ABU 7000iHSN
Rod: Fenwick 196-6 5-8kg
Line: Fireline XDS 0.33mm
Leader line: JINKAI 60lb
I used beef steak as bait.
A big shovel nosed ray took it on the bottom around a jetty pylon.
I fought this big fish for 15 minutes but the 60lb leader line broke.
It is thought that these big 1m - 1.2m shovel nosed rays still swim on our shallows in this season too.
They take any baits.
I think that I can't stop their running away after hooking with my spinning tackles on our shallows.

Thank you very much.
