It's not very easy to use jerk-bait and twitch-bait lures here.
Normally, I use a YO-ZURI SS-MINNOW under the condition of a very difficult shallow waters.
As I always say, the condition of the surface of the sea is very important factor for catching a barramundi on shore.
Barramundi prefer to take lures in the shallows under the condition of a slightly wavy surface of the sea.
Barramundi won't take lures readily in these locations when conditions are flat.
On the other hand, queenfish and trevally often hit lures in these conditions.
Maybe not always, but most of the time.
The surface of the sea was flat tonight.
Slightly windy.
There's no moon tonight.
So I could expect a barramundi on this shallow.
A barramundi was chasing bait fish.
I was very clear on this situation.
I chose a TIEMCO MIGHTY PEPPER 70F this time.
Bingo!
As a result,
52cm Barramundi
