54cm Barramundi #953 Maria MJ-1 S110FThe tides were very good!

It was a day of unseasonable cloud and humidity, so the rain turned into a downpour after sunset.

There was something that is unusual.
There were many soldier crabs on the beach at Mindil Beach.

On the other hand, the tides were very good for my land based fishing.
I saw someone caught a nice sized fish and had two good strikings in the morning.

I went home once and back to Myilly Point rocks around 6:30pm.
The tide was going.
The water was clear.
The sea surface was rippled.
The conditions were ideal for my land based fishing.
Firstly, I used Squidgy Pro Mongrel.
Soon I saw barramundi chasing it.
But barramundi was shortsighted and looked twice at a Mongrel.
The lure changing occurred immediately.
I knew that twitching was very effective in the case like this.
As a result, I caught a 54cm urban barramundi on Maria MJ-1 S110F

Barramundi #951-952 Sebile Swingtail Squidgy Pro Mongrel Living near the water for fishing

The tide this evening was ideal for my land based fishing.
Just as I wrote before, East Point was not so good though - the old man's rock and Ben's point become gangerous when the tide becomes greater than 3m.
So I went to Myilly Point to fish.

03:53am 1.97m
10:14am 6.43m
16:23pm 3.04m
21:53pm 5.45m

The water was very clear while the tide was going today.
I went fishing but I couldn't catch any fish at that time.

The productive fishing window came around sunset.
I caught the first barramundi at 6:30pm and the second one at 7:00pm.

The tide was coming.
The water was murky.
The sea surface was wavy.

This location was close to my place.
It took 5minutes by my 8years old 50cc scooter.

It's the Sunday-market day.
I was fishing while many people were enjoying the market noises.

Living near the water

My usual fishing locations are within 20minutes of my place.
I have no car, needless to say, I have no boat.
I go fishing by the 8years old 50cc scooter.

If I are lucky, I can catch a nice sized urban barramundi as follows,
 

Usually I catch 40cm - 50cm barramundi in size.

Barramundi fishing is much different from the fishing I was used to in the other fishing.
I've been obsessed with fishing Barramundi ever since I caught a wild one the first time I tried it.

Fishing an urban barramundi by land based is not as easy as you think it is.
I like the land based barramundi fishing all the better for it.

I believe that the more you know mechanism of productive fishing windows, the more you like a barramundi.
You could get lucky and can catch a barramundi, or you could be unlucky and can't catch a barramundi.
Anybody who go fishing often, catches at last!
Even beginners will catch five urban barramundi on lure by land based in one month at least.

You must be careful because the rocks are sometimes very slippery and know when to move back from the incoming tide.

Frozen prawn bait fishing

I just happened to catch a whiting on lure at East Point yesterday.
So I wanted to fish with frozen prawn bait.
It was the first time in a while I fish with bait.

They were fishing with bait.
They caught bream, flathead and whiting.

I couldn't catch any whiting.

Barramundi #950 Queenfish #25 Rockcod #327 Maria MS-1 90F Very clear and cold water.

The tides of May 17 as follows,

05:34am 7.04m
11:34am 2.27m
17:16pm 6.87m
00:00am 0.84m

Today's tides were not so good for my land based fishing.
The water was very clear.
The water becomes colder day by day.

Barramundi are getting bewildered in sudden change of the environment.
The stable water temperature is ideal for my land based fishing.
Even under the condition of a very cold water, they start biting lures once the water temperature became stable again.

There is an exception to this theory.
A small barramundi will sometimes take lures under the condition like this.

I went to Mindil Beach to fish around 8:00am this morning.
Many young people were listening to loud music on the beach.
I went to the rocks near Darwin High School.
Luckily, I caught a barramundi.

And then I went to East Point to fish.
The water was very clear and cold.
I caught a queenfish and two rockcod.
The colour of my lure was selected to be similar to the environment with the very clear water conditions.

Barramundi #949 Maria MS-1 90F It's my policy to break it off with birds who ask for fish.

By the way, an affectionate Jabiru came to me.
It's my policy to break it off with birds who ask for fish.

Jabiru wanted to eat my Squidgy Pro Mongrel with Aussie Herring colour.

After all, I gave a whiting I caught to this big bird.

Barramundi #947-948 hrtlures Mad Minnow Match the hatch

The tides on May 12 as follows,

05:36am 2.55m
12:02pm 5.96m
18:50pm 3.25m

The tides were very good for my land based fishing.
Fortunately, there was no moon while I was fishing.
The water was very, very clear.
The sea surface was slightly wavy.
The productive fishing window came around 8:30pm.
It lasted one hour.

It was about this time last year.
I used the same lure at the same place at the same tide.
I think that a barramundi is mainly taking a small mullet or a small whiting in my fishing locations in this season.

Match the hatch
There are exceptions to it, however.
I'm not sure how fish see the colour under the water.
I accept this theory.

My 8years old scooter is still in good condition even today. Living Near The Water For Fishing

My scooter's battery has gone flat. Worse, I found a nail stuck into the tire for the weekend.

So I bought new battery and tire from the Scooter Shop.
When I went for holidays for 10days, the battery went flat because the scooter hadn't been started up daily.

My 50cc scooter is 8years old now.
I can see some aged deterioration of the plastic and rubber parts because I have no garage.
However, there is no fault in the electrical system and engine at all.
I have my scooter serviced by the Scooter Shop when necessary.

Barramundi #945-946 Sebile Swingtail Minnow Only two barramundi's strikings for the weekend

The tides on May 10 as follows,
03:50am 1.71m
10:10am 6.60m
16:13pm 3.03m
21:49pm 5.76m

The tides were very good for my land based fishing in my fishing locations.
Here, it should be noted treatment of my fishing location at East Point.
The old man's rock and Ben's point rocks become dangerous when the tide becomes greater than 3m.
So I went to Mylli Point to fish around 17:00pm.
I saw many people on the beach for the Sunday market.
The productive fishing window came just before sunset.
After all, I had only two barramundi's strikings for the weekend.
