Most barramundi meat is easily eatable as sashimi.

I have been eating saltwater barramundi's sashimi for many years.
I have never once had a stomachache with that as a cause.
It is comparatively easy to keep the degree of freshness of saltwater barramundi.

Sashimi is eaten often with soy sauce mixed with wasabi (paste of green Japanese horseradish).
But I don't want you to eat saltwater barramundi's sashimi with soy sauce mixed with wasabi.
It's not quite delicious.

I caught a 61cm saltwater barramundi at East Point and filleted into six piece on Sunday.

I kept those fillets hygienically in the fridge overnight.
That would be more delicious.
I used a sanitary chopping board, made sashimi and ate it on Monday.

How to prepare saltwater barramundi: Sashimi, whatever I say sashimi is the tastiest on certain conditions.
I will surely use "PIETRO Original taste (Soy sauce) dressing" or "KEWPIE Roasted sesame dressing".
You shouldn't use other dressings at the current point in time please.
Again, don't use soy sauce mixed with wasabi for barramundi please.

Soaking polished sliced onion in water and then draining off water goes well saltwater barramundi's sashimi.

By the way, I love fish and chips of the saltwater barramundi very much also.

61cm Barramundi #957 Rapala Flatrap East Point Incoming tide

Yesterday was tiring.
My fishing rods and reels were all covered with salt mud yesterday.
I gave those reels overhauls by myself this morning.
I was pressed for time because I had lots of things to do today.
So I didn't go to the Channel Island to fish.
As a result, I went fishing to the East Point by my old 50cc scooter this afternoon.

The tide was coming. 
02:53am - 1.44m
09:17am - 6.85m
15:19pm - 2.44m
20:51pm - 5.98m

I failed to catch a queenfish on Rapala Flatrap first.
I continued to cast a Rapala Flatrap.
Finally I caught a 61cm barramundi around 17:00pm there.

69cm Barramundi #956 Sebile Swingtail Channel Island land based fishing

I bought a new 150cc SYM Symphony from the Scooter Shop.
It was remodeled for my land based fishing with guarantee safety by Mr. Callum Gumball.
Callum is always the best mechanic to me.

This trip was new to my new scooter.
I went fishing to the Channel Island.
It's very windy.
I waded through the shallow water to the small island there.
The mud was sometimes deep.

The tide was going out.
The water was murky.
I failed to catch two barramundi first.
One of them was a nice sized one.
This fish damaged the top line guide of my bait-cast fishing rod.
I had a spinning rod also.
Casting the Sebile Swingtail, I felt a small strike by fish.
I hooked a heavy fish and controlled the drag pressure against the drawing by the fish.
As a result, I caught a 69cm nice barramundi.

Land based, Darwin, NT, Australia

Nice stainless rod holders are welded on the both sides with the quality of being safe.

The knee deep mud made very difficult to draw my legs.
I tried to move forward at a crawl.
If it happened while the tide was coming in, I couldn't survive under the condition like this.

55cn Barramundi #955 Rapala flatrap Always waiting for this tide.

Yesterday's tides were ideal for my land based fishing.
Today's tides were still very good.

04:20am - 6.31m
10:17am - 2.94m
15:59pm - 6.01m
22:52pm - 1.31m

I went to Myilly point rocks to fish at 12: 10pm.
The water was murky.
The sea surface was slightly wavy.
I had a strong feeling that a barramundi would take my lure soon.
My expectation came true.
I caught a 55cm urban saltwater barramundi at 12:20pm.
Rapala Flatrap is a very effective lure for a very difficult shallow water.
The plastic bib was easy to detach before but it was likely improved with more glue.
Twitching it with furious movement was very effective under the condition like this.

Barramundi #954 Yozuri-SS minnow Ideal tides for my land based fishing

Today's tides are ideal for my land based fishing.
That cannot be said sweepingly but a time range between 1:00pm and 16:00pm is not so good for my land based fishing in spite of the tide.
A very cold day is an exception.

03:09am - 5.88m
09:07am - 3.09m
15:00pm - 5.83m
21:59pm - 1.68m

I went to Myilly point rocks to fish this morning.
The sea surface was rippled.
The water was clear - murky.
The productive fishing window opened around 10:00am.
I caught a small barramundi on Yozuri-SSminnow.
It's a very effective lure for a very difficult shallow water.
I hooked a 30cm tarpon but couldn't land him.

I often saw these crabs on the beach recently.
It's good sign!

Technique for removing stuck travel rods Rockcod #327 Sebile Swingtail

Recent travel rods have a good performance and good reliability.
Nevertheless, you have ever had a travel rod stuck together, haven't you.

This faucet joint rod comprises the tip rod 1, a middle rod 2 and the butt rod 3.

Shimano Ian Miller Raider rods 6'6" 3pcs Raider Travel, Line weight 3-5kg, Lure weight 3-12g
The grip end was remodeled by Mr. Matt West who was the champion of Barra Classic 2010 so that it was appropriate for a particular use or purpose of my land based fishing.

These attached woods should be about the similar diameter to the joints of rods. 

Please use it at your own risk.

Shimano Sustain 1000FG and Shimano Raider Travel rod will be able to land an about 80cm sized fish.

However, it sometimes happens like as follows,
