That was of course by land base.
And I enjoyed fishing over the weekend very much.
However, I wasn't satisfied with my results.
I couldn't keep hooking up three nice sized barramundi and lost them.
When those nice sized barramundi jumped from the water, they shook their heads and dislodged lures from their mouths.
Probably, my drag settings was too tight.
I had to learn the settings of adequate dragging powers capable of preventing to be slipped out from the mouth cavity of the barramundi and surely hooking up the barramundi.
The ideal drag settings shouldn't have been tight for catching a nice sized barramundi in my fishing location.
I improved the settings of dragging powers.
As a result, I caught a saltwater barramundi at an urban rocks this evening.
