The tides of March 21 were as follows:
06:47am 7.61m
13:02pm 1.07m
19:06pm 7.89m
What actually happens in my fishing locations when the state of the difference between high and low tide is very great?
The currents caused by tides also become greater.
The sea water goes out, and comes in, more rapidly than during a neap tide.
The sea changes quickly from one state or condition to another in my fishing locations.
The best tide shifts with the best fishing point every hour.
That means that the greater tide is, the narrower productive fishing windows become.
Even in such a situation though, the fish window around the high tide becomes comparatively wide. That depends on each fishing location though.
That’s reason why I went to the Mindil Beach to fish in the early morning on March 21.
Fortunately, the sea was nicely calm and rippled.
I tried to use a new lure that I have never tried from Sebile.
The structure of this lure can be used for obtaining a powerful vibration to improve the fish attracting effect.
As a result, I caught and released a small barramundi.
