It's a mackerel time!
Unfortunately, I have no boat.
On the contrary, I have no car.
'Not rich fisherman' went to Channel Island by the scooter to fish.
My scope of fishing activities doesn't expand.
Normally, it's very difficult to catch barramundi in my usual fishing locations, Mindil beach, Fannie bay and East point from the middle of August to the beginning of October every year.
I thought that it's very strange.
At last I have probably solved the puzzle.
I have no proof, but there is no evidence to the contrary also.
The large outbreak of jelly prawn responding to rise in seawater temperature might occur in the convenient locations for jelly prawn.
I think that barramundi are traveling to seek for jelly prawns in that jelly-prawn season.
Jelly prawns appear several times a year.
This is a good example of symbolizing that the large outbreak of jelly prawns occurs responding to rise in seawater temperature after rainfalls in February, March and April.
Some of them come to my usual fishing locations in April.
Actual jelly prawns are very small in size.
Squidgies Prawn Paddle Tail 80mm Cloud could be seeming larger that it actually is, however, it was very effective for that situation at Channel Island.
Squidgy Pro Mongrel 90mm is usually used for catching barramundi, however, it has a difficult time with that jelly-prawn season.
Barramundi won't take it positively in that jelly-prawn season.
As a result, I caught a 59cm barramundi.
The tides on Saturday 27, 2016 as follows,
00:42am--5.59m
06:41am--3.65m
12:08pm--5.11m
19:47pm--2.34m
There was a high possibility that barramundi won't take lures from 00:42am to 12:08pm.
There was a once-in-a-day chance, I can only fish just after sunset.
