How to slice the sea-barramundi's fillets

It got cold in Darwin recently.
The tides were very slow around that time.
That suddenly lowered the seawater temperature in shallow waters around Mindil beach.
As a result, sea-barramundi would't dare to come into the shallow water.
That is, it resulted in a phenomenon that the shallow water is colder than the deep water.
If the water-temperature difference between the shallow-water temperature and the deep-water temperature is moderated, sea-barramundi will come into the shallow water again.
Regardless of the cold-water temperature, however, they will come into the shallow water again.
That is the reason why I couldn't catch any barramundi on the week end.
I think, it is a good opportunity to let Darwin people know how to slice the sea-barramundi's fillets for the sashimi.
I sometimes eat a sea-barramundi which measures 55cm-79cn in overall length.
The 55cm-79cm sized sea-barramundi normally have no parasite in their bodies.
The fish fillets must be hygienically processed.
However, you shouldn't wash the filleted fish with water as much as possible.
It will spoil the taste.
Please chill the fillet in the refrigerator before slicing.
These are how I do it.

58cm Barramundi #1207
55cm Barramundi 55cm #1208
Yo-zuri Pin's Minnow 90F

When I'll decide where and when to go fishing, I determine the direction of the wind at different tides and then drive my scooter in the direction I want to go.
I think that barramundi aren't active in the chill of early morning in our dry season.
After all, I came to Myilly point rocks on Saturday of June 15 again.
The water was slightly murky.
The water was so shallow 30cm deep.
There were many rocks covered with many small oysters.
I decided to use the lures in my lure box in rotation.
I used several lures but had no fish bite.
Last Saturday, I caught a 61cm barramundi after sunset on Yo-zuri Pin's Minnow 90mm Floating having a white-silver colour.
By effectively using a fishing-line slack, I used my fishing rod.
That's why it's important to know in how the fishing rod is selected.
As a result, the same lure did work this time again.
I caught 58cm and 55cm barramundi.
I decided to take a 58cm one home and release a 55cm one into the water.
There is a certain time when a certain lure is popular among barramundi.
That is like to last for about three weeks.
There are, indeed, exceptions.
After all, barramundi fishing is a game that has an element of chance.

61cm Barramundi #1206
Yo-zuri Pin's Minnow 90mm

Saturday June 9, I went fishing at Myilly point rocks.
Small baits are on the alert for the enemy in the very shallow water in the daytime when the water is very clear in slow tides.
I'm sure you're thinking to yourself, 'Why is this guy making such a big deal of this?'
But make no mistake.
This is essential.
Therefore, sea-barramundi dare to approach the very shallow water in the daytime under this condition.
However, they must eat to live.
As a result, I caught a 61cm barramundi on Yo-zuri Pin's Minnow 90mm after sunset.




This is an approximate trend with a lot of exceptions.
By the way, I normally use a 20mm X 1m PVC pressure pipe to lean on as a walking stick because this pipe is light and durable.
I thought that a light weight walking stick was better for walking.
That cannot be said as a rule on the rocks.
I learned that from Kelly Davies of Moment For Life Physiotherapy.
My left knee has been wobbling because of a painful injury to my left knee joint by a rapture or tear of its ligaments due to traffic accident three months ago.


Thus, the PVC walking stick with a water in it can be supported my body, the subtle balance is maintained at the foot even in the case of losing a balance in rugged easy-to-slip place like a craggy place, and falling is prevented.

Barramundi #1204
Yo-ziri Pin's Minnow
53cm Barramundi #1205
Yo-zuri MAG Crystal Minnow F85

It's very windy day on Sunday of June 2.
The Mindil water has  relatively calm waves in dry season even if the wind blows harder.
It's as a result of the wind direction in dry season.
I went fishing at Myilly point roocks.
The water was very clear.
I couldn't think that barramundi have a high activity in that situation.
I thought that barramundi wouldn't take a big lure.
The water depth was about 40cm - 50cm.
In addition, there were many rocks covered small oysters in the shallow water.
Of course I would use a floating lure.
My choice was a 90mm Yo-zuri Pin's Minnow having a shiny green colour.
I needed effective 3 twitch-and-1 pause retrieves for attracting barramundi.
I hooked 2 barramundi but missed one of them.
The level of the water had risen by 10cm - 15cm.
The water became slightly murky.
My next choice was a 85mm Yo-zuri MAG Crystal Minnow having a shiny red colour.
I neededd effective 3 twitch-and-1 pause retrieves again.
As a result, I caught and released a 53cm barramundi and missed a small barramundi.
As I wrote, in recent years, the number of barramundi visiting the Mindil beach rocks and the Myilly point rocks for chasing their baits have decreased greatly.
