Today's tides were big.
01:28am--2.01m
07:04am--7.13m
13:35pm--0.78m
19:58pm--7.92m
You have heard enough of that the big tides means that the productive fishing windows were short at each fishing spot.
But you still can catch many fish in the short productive fishing windows if conditions are good.
I don't like to fish around the 0.78m low tide on shallows because the sea water easily mixes with many fine sands.
I like to fish around the high tide today.
The high tide carries many fish into our saltwater culverts, saltwater lakes and small creeks in the city if conditions are good..
It hasn't rained for three days.
This situation is very good during the big tides in the wet season.
A water level in a saltwater culvert and saltwater lake is lowers when it hasn't rained for three days to compare with when it has rained.
The sea water cannot come into the saltwater culvert and saltwater lake in some places when the high tide failures to reach a minimum required water level.
The sea water rushed in the saltwater culvert and saltwater lake in my usual fishing locations at the high tide.today.
I caught and released small mangrovejack tonight and last night there.

Land based in Darwin
Starting this year, I caught and released four mangrovejack.
On the other hand, I hooked a small barramundi but I lost that fish when I tried to take a picture tonight.
I forgot to bring a 20lb leader line and so I used a 40lb leader line for my very light fishing gears tonight.
