Friday night, February 12, 2016.
Tide: 20:59pm--7.76m
The big tide carried many fish into the saltwater culvert at the high tide, and what was better,
there wasn't any big rains for the last few days.
The monsoon rains are essential to us though.
There was no moon while I was fishing.
I think, someone is worried that it is too dark for barramundi to take a lure.
Barramundi can take a lure in a very dark water much more than you think.
I won't use any lures with fluorescent coating material for the barramundi fishing.
The productive fishing window normally opens while the water is flowing in the saltwater culvert.
I cast my lures around shallow snags and caught 51cm and 50cm barramundi from the bank of the saltwater culvert.
These are my 1001st and 1002nd barramundi.
I released them into the water.
My 1001st 51cm barramundi / February 12, 2016.

Maria MJ-1 S90F Chrome
My 1002nd 50cm barramundi / February 12, 2016.
Land based in Darwin
Squidgies Fish 100mm Black Gold / Jighead 1/4oz
I used a Maria MJ-1 S90F Chrome for a 51cm barramundi and a Squidgies Fish 100mm Blackgold/Jighead 1/4oz for a 50cm barramundi.
These lures are dark in colour.
However, barramundi took them positively in a very dark water.
