The seawater clarity becomes very clear.
The fish window becomes very short.
But sea barramundi itself becomes very attractive.
The body colour becomes beautiful silver-white.
The body becomes very solid and muscular.
The action becomes very aggressive.
That's winter versions of the sea barramundi on our shallows.
They are very tough proposition.
I think that super fishos and very skilled anglers love those above situations.
That is the place for them to show or try their skills.
On the contrary, beginners will be at a loss how to fish in the very clear water.
"And I suppose",
Winter should be the best season for very skilled barramundi anglers and super fishos.
On the other hand, winter should be very difficult season for beginners by land based barramundi fishing.
I caught a 62cm very aggressive urban sea-barramundi and two small barramundis tonight.
HRT lure is originally easy to snag oyster-rocks on our shallows.
Using double hooks, HRT lure became a very good shallow diving lure.
It automatically produced a very effective "Touch and GO" action in the shallow water.
In addition, the double hooks looked the fish-fins.
I used many lures with treble hooks last year.
I could compare with each other.
I'm very sure that the double hooks are much more effective for catching many barramundis than the treble hooks on our shallows.
62cm urban sea-barramundi hasn't changed its body colour into silver-white as its winter version yet. But it's a very good fish.

I recommend the above double hooks.
Very good for the salt water fishing.
