Sunday I went to Brett's secret Point. Barramundi #796-797 Bluebone #1 with Mr. Brett Parsons

Brett took me to his secret shallows by his car.
He knows where urban barramundis go for spawning to.
That's why he constantly caught many barramundis on the shallows in September.
He has seen a spawning of a big female barramundi and some male barramundis.

We walked and waded through the very muddy shallows for 15minutes.
There were many healthy oyster-rocks.

The tide was going out.
The water was very murky.

First, I had a short strong hit with SQUIDGY FISH / DROP BEAR.

Second, suddenly my 40lb leader line with SQUIDGY MONGREL / DROP BEAR snapped.

That had to be a big one!  I thought. ┐（~ー~;）┌

Third, I hooked a nice sized barramundi and then she tried to jump.
I saw her nice body but I lost her.

Finally, I caught a 53cm barramundi and a small one.

YO-ZURI SS MINNOW 70mm

I also enjoyed fishing a small bluebone on the shallow around the lowest tide.

Brett caught a barramundil.
He caught some nice sized barramundis in September here.

We saw some big fish-fins on the surface.
It was thought that there should be some very big barramundis at Brett's secret point.

Thank you very much.

Some nice sized barramundis took only Brett's lures! Mr. Brett Parsons

I didn't catch any barramundis on our shallows in this week.
Of course, there are fish.
Someone caught a big milkfish, GT and Fingermarks there.

Barramundi must eat to live.
They must take their baits somewhere else.

Finally, I knew it.
Brett caught some nice sized barramundis on his secret shallow.

Hi Hiro,

I went to XXXXXX today for the first two hours of the run in tide and got these 3 barra, only one was legal. I was using a squidgy silver fox paddle tail and wriggle tail. My very first cast hooked onto a big barra but he snapped me off, I lost two more fish today.

Cheers
Brett

Hi Hiro,

I'm good, how are you?
I got this barra today at XXXXX on a squidgy silver fox fish.
I got there at the start of the incoming tide and was only able to stay for about 1 1/2 hours.
I was using 30 pound Finns braid and 50 pound fluro carbon leader.

Cheers
Brett

Thank you very much.

Some barramundis on our shallows now. Can't keep hooking them!

I saw some big schools of small mullets on our shallows this morning.
I haven't seen those big schools since three years ago.

I couldn't catch any barramundis in this week.
But I don't take a gloomy view in the result.
Actually, I hooked couple of the nice sized barramundis and small barra in this week.
I'm in a big slump.
I can't keep hooking to the end.
I couldn't land them up.

Very good tide at night
Wavy surface means 'not so bad'.  (Not very wavy)

I felt a small hit of fish from my fishing rod.

We understand as follows,
A big hit means that the fish never come back.
A small hit means that the fish still stay there and will bite the lure again.

Two people came to this point.
Their errors invoked this disaster.

I believe that their very strong headlight scared my barramundi.

It might be a west wind?? Dugong Barramundi #795 RAPALA 08XRD

A wind blowing from the west has brought some barramundis to Mindil Beach, Fannie bay and East Point since Thursday.
I hooked a nice sized (probably 65cm) barramundi at the rocks but the fish hided in the oyster-rocks and so lost him on Saterday afternoon.                       

In addition, the west wind brought a big dugong to Mindil Beach this afternoon.
Dugong is a herbivorus animal and so she/he didn't follow bait fish, did she?
I had seen some crocodiles at the same place.
This patch should be an attractive water for animals.

Big dugong stayed at the same patch for 30 minutes.


The surface of the sea was wavy. (Not very wavy)
It's much better than the flat surface.

I caught a 48cm barramundi first.
Next came a bigger barra but I lost it.

Friday evening Barramundi #794 SQUIDGY FISH

The tide was good.
It's a very nice condition because the surface of the sea was slightly wavy.

In addition,
as the wind has been favorable since yesterday, my lure reached the certain point again.

As a result,
I hooked a 48cm barramundi behind the big rock
I pulled out him, that was hiding in the other rocks.
My STELLA did work for that situation!

Reidy's lure 'HELLRAISER' Barracuda #12

The tides were good.
The surface of the sea was slightly wavy.
very nice!

Probably 8 or 9 years old boy caught an around 65cm barramundi on live bait by land based at 1:00pm at Fannie Bay.

Before he caught that fish, I caught a small barracuda on an attractive Reidy's lure.

'Hell Raiser' is a shallow diving lure.
Originally, Reidy's has had a very nice lure 'Little Lucifer'.
'Little Lucifer' has a long bib but this lure perfectly can work for the shallow water as well.
I think that 'Little Lucifer' has a torque in its swimming.
It's very effective for our land based fishing.
We need it.

On the other hand, it is thought that 'Hell Raiser' can make less torques like a wounded fish in its swimming.
Very nice lure!
I like 'Hell Raiser' very much.
