The tides on April 4 as follows
00:29am 1.94m
06:33am 6.79m
12:41pm 1.97m
18:34pm 7:00m
The tides were not bad.
There were some productive fishing windows,
Each window has about 30minutes or 1hour.
It depends on the fishing location.
Ideally, the difference of 2.5m - 4m between high and low tide should be the best in my fishing locations.
Today's tides were not ideally though.
I went to Myilly Point rocks to fish this morning.
The sea surface was slightly wavy.
It's the best sea surface condition to fish.
The water was very clear.
I could see a barramundi's striking.
That means that it is very difficult to hook the fish completely.
Barramundi will strike the lure shortly under the condition like this.
Barramundi is very cautious in a very clear water.
After all, I couldn't catch any fish at this point.
Using a live bait, it will be the best way to fish under the condition like this.
I went to Old-man's rocks next.
The sea surface was calmly flat.
It's not a good condition for catching a nice sized barramundi.
The water was murky.
I caught a small barramundi.

By the way, I went to Lee Point rocks to fish this afternoon also.
The productive fishing window was wide enough for my land based fishing.
The sea surface was slightly wavy.
The water was murky.
The conditions were good.
But I had any fish bites there.
