The tide:
Too fast or too slow water current should be avoided.
The best tide shifts with the best fishing.
The big tide has many chances to catch a sea barramundi but each chance has a very short fishing window.
The rainfall:
I still fish the shore when it is rainy, but it is not the ideal time.
In
my experience, the best time for catching many good-size saltwater
barramundi from the shore in the rainy season is when we have had no
rainy for 24 hours.The water quality:
It's easier to catch a sea barramundi in murky water than in clear water but in my experience, the sea barramundi won't take lures under the water condition of becoming murky because of the spawning of the coral.
The sea surface:
The sea barramundi comparatively won't take lures in a deadly calm water.
The sea barramundi comparatively will take lures in a slightly wavy water.
The sea barramundi comparatively won't take lures in a very wavy water.
My very good friend, Mr. Takahiro Nakamura caught two keeper-sized barramundi under the water condition of becoming slightly wavy with BOMBER LONG 14A Fire Tiger at the rocks on an urban shore when he stayed in Darwin before.
.
A fishing probability will increase rapidly when these above conditions are satisfied.
As a result, I couldn't catch any nice sized sea barramundi on Saturday and Sunday because these above conditions weren't satisfied..
