Worse, those nights were very moonlit.
The seawater was very clear.
Of course, I didn't catch any sea barramundis.
The cold water itself wasn't very big problem for very experienced and skilled anglers.
But it must be a huge problem for the beginners because the cold temperature brings the very clear water to our shallows.
Good sized barramundis wouldn't bite lures at the sudden water-temperature change.
The stable water temperature is ideal for our fishing.
Even under the condition of a very cold water, they start biting lures once the water temperature became stable again.
Actually, the seawater temperature was falling for the last few days on our shallows.
It's very tough days for catching sea barramundi.
However, the sea surface became slightly wavy this afternoon.
Someone caught a nice sized winter sea barramundi at B's point.
I didn't catch any fish but saw his catching that fish.
I went fishing in the night again.
The sea surface was flat again.
The wind raised when the moon was screened by clouds.
The bait pattern should be a small long tom.
As a result, I caught a 80cm barracuda.
He was a very strong fighter.
The leader line which I used was very good.
I think that it easier to use a mono leader line on our shallows than a fluorocarbon leader line.
