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.
