40cm Mangrovejack #41 Barramundi #847-848 ZEREK LIVE SHRIMP

The sea was too rough to fish on our shallows again.
I had to find a calm water.

Urban creek!

My work finished at 4:30pm.
Today's highest tide was 7.33m at 18:05pm.
I waited for the peak at home.
And then I drove my 50cc old scooter to the urban creek.

By the way, my Stella 2500FE is in service now.
So I used Shimano Sustain 2500FG tonight.

In addition, Mr. Matt West made the following rig for me.
As a result,
I lost a nice sized barramundi at the first cast.

Thank you very much.

Saturday Mark's boat and truck That's Darwin life! That's why I love Darwin.

The sea was rough.
I saw a small aluminum dingy was cutting the water and skimming over many waves.
Wonderful!
Great!

I asked Mark for me to take some pictures with his nice truck and boat.

Mark's 36 years old Land Rover.  Sooooo nice!

Mark is very kind.

He put very nice hand-made transom-pods with buoyancy.
So he can use a big 30hp outboad engine.
It's an ingenious contrivance!
A stabilizer fin fitted the outboad engine also.

I thought that it' a totally very nice idea.

Very beautiful shape.

Thanks, Joe!

I think,
Darwin people value their own individuality.
They treasure old cars and boats.
They are ingenious!
That's why I respect Darwin people.

Saturday I understood why Texas rig could be very effective for some waters. Rockcod #311 Z MAN Swimmer Z

I learned a Texas rig from the super fisho, Stewie Martin.
I made my own Texas rig this morning.
I went fishing near my place.

It looked as if a mullet had been eating microscopic plants on the rock.
I coulld produce a naturally nice motion on my soft plastic swim bait.

Saturday afternoon Barramundi #846 YO-ZURI SS-MINNOW

No rain!
The water of the sea was rough.
The surface of the sea was dotted with many fallen leaves and dead trees.
I don't like this condition.

I found a clean brown coloured water.
I chose a very reliable YO-ZURI SS-MINNOW.
I didn't put any actions on my lure.
I just retrieved it.

Sunday afternoon 51cm Barramundi #845 SQUIDGY PRO MONGREL That's a good sign!

My fishing fields were too wavy to fish today too.

Too fast or too slow water current or very wavy water should be avoided.

I and my very good friend, Stephen Lew went fishing to 'Jetty X' just before the lowest tide because there was a calm water there.
We waited for the first incoming tide.
There were nice two-colour waters.
But we didn't get any hits.
More worse, I lost two RAPALA lures snagging with someone's dead fishing lines.
It happened again at this point.

The best tide shifts with the best fishing point every hour.

So I went to Point B and I waited for the first incoming tide there.
It's a very small and short fish-window.
I caught a 51cm very beautiful silver-white barramundi on Squidgy pro mongrel / Aussie Herring 90mm.
Much excess sand was swept away by torrential downpours.
I saw clean oyster-rocks and many small crabs.
That's a very good sign!
We can expect a great April for our land based barramundi fishing.

Saturday Morning Golden snapper #15 as a good sign SQUIDGY PRO MONGREL

It has been while since it not rained.
We had a small and short rain this morning.
I went fishing to the shallow near my place.

It's too late to catch a barramundi there.
I easily could feel the force transmitted to my fingers at the moment that a lure was retrieved on the shallow water.
I felt that there were some rocks on the bottom in the water.
Much excess sand was swept away by torrential downpours.
That's a very good sign.
Many crustaceans have just came back to our shallows.

Thank you very much.

These rainfalls exceed all our expectations! We're expecting a great 'Run-off' and the dry season. I'm preparing some nice top-water lures for my land based barramundi fishing now.

See the following data

We are expecting a great 'Run-off' in March and April.
Probably, the time of the peak will be around Easter holidays in April.

I caught some nice sized barramundis on top-water lures by land based in 2010-2011.
There were many schools of mullets on our shallows at that time.

I love to catch a nice sized barramundi on top-water lure by land based.

It is thought that the results of our barramundi fishing in 'Run-off' and the dry season are relative to rainfalls in the wet season.
The condition of a tend is getting very positive now.

Mr. George Voukolos who is an owner of Fishing and Outdoor World gave me a very interesting information the day before yesterday.
His talk was fascinating.
He saw that so many barramundis were caught by fishermen in Darwin harbour in February 1975.
