I didn't fish as usual at Channel Island on last Saturday.
Using a new fishing reel having a digital control braking system, I wanted to try to fish other than barramundi.
On the other hand, this was a good opportunity to get to know about the usability of my new fishing reel.
After careful thought, I chose to use Berkley Gulp Minnow 95mm/chartreuse colour because it's windy and the sea water was dirty.
Normally, I use a steady retrieve when presenting soft plastics for catching barramundi.
I used a steady triple hops/ a single pause retrieve for using Berkley Gulp Minnow 95mm/chartreuse this time.
As a result, I caught and released a nice sized queenfish and estuarycod (rockcod).
I was very much delighted with the results.
Queen fish #30
Estuary cod (Rock cod) #342
Berkley Gulp Minnow 95mm/chartreuse color
I moved from Channel Island to East Point in search of the next productive fishing window.
It's windy and the sea water was dirty again.
I used Yo-zuri Super Shallow SS Minnow 70mm/chartreuse colour.
This lure has a very attractive wobbling action to barramundi.
As a result, I caught and released two barramundi.
Barramundi #1155
Barramundi #1156
Quite unfortunately, Yo-zuri SS Minnow became discontinued in Australia.
The combination of fast wobbling action and chartreuse colour is ideally perfect state for catching barramundi on lure by land based in shallow clear/dirty water.
