Tide timing for land based barramundi fishing

 I've received several inquiries regarding the best tidal timing for land-based barramundi fishing, so I'd like to share my insights on the matter.

[THE BEST TIDE for the land based barramundi fishing]

Too fast or too slow water current or very wavy water should be avoided. The best tide shifts with the best fishing point every hour. But of course, barramundi are living creatures, so exceptions do occur. In my experience, as long as the tide is moving and the fishing spot is along the barramundi’s pathway, you might get lucky and catch one. In my experience, barramundi tended to bite my lures most often when the water level was about the same height as the rocks. When the sea was too shallow, sharks drove out the small fish, preventing barramundi from entering the shallows. Since I was casting my lures while standing in the water up to my knees, it was more dangerous than boat fishing. Especially during the rainy season when the seawater was murky, fishing meant being constantly exposed to the dangers of crocodiles, stingrays, sea snakes, and stonefish. I always fished using gloves, diving boots, knee pads, elbow pads, and a walking stick. These are merely impressions based on my own experience.
