Changes in the environment are affecting my regular fishing spots.
The monsoon basically pours benefits upon us for barramundi fishing.
On the other hand, it’s the very wavy-sea season.
It’s a very difficult time to catch a sea barramundi around Darwin.
There was a solution to that before 2013 in my fishing locations.
I could catch some nice-sized sea barramundi at an urban small creek location in the rainy season in those days.
As an example, the 78cm sea barramundi pictured was caught at an urban small creek.
However, I haven’t been catching many nice-sized sea barramundi there recently.
I can see more soil and sand accumulated on the shore of the sea and the urban small creek bed after having been carried there by wind or water.
There are more shallow waters than before there.
A large amount of monsoon rainwater washes a large amount of soil and sand away from the shore, but large amounts of soil and sand are also deposited on the shore again after the rainy season.
I have noticed that the shores of the sea, including the urban small creeks, were getting shallower in my fishing locations year by year.
Someone told me even sailfish used to be caught (land-based?) at East Point in the old days, but I am not sure if this is true.

市街地の小さな海水の川を取り巻く環境は変わったのでしょうか？
私はその環境の変化に対応できないでいます。
基本的にモンスーンはバラマンディーフィッシングに恵みをもたらします。一方でその時期は波が荒い季節でもあるのです。海でバラマンディーを釣るのには厳しいものがあります。まあそうは言っても私の釣り場において２０１３年以前はやりようがありました。市街地の小さな海水の川や海水の池の入り口で良型のバラマンディーを雨季に釣っていたのです。例えば７８ｃｍのバラマンディーとか市街地の小さな海水の川で釣っていました。しかしこの頃は良型のバラマンディーをそこではとんと釣っていないのです。
そして予想を超えた大量の土砂が風や水によって運ばれて海岸や市街地の小さな海水の川底に堆積しているのを見かけます。そこでは以前より浅瀬が多くなっています。大量のモンスーンによる降雨は大量の土砂を海岸から洗い流しますが雨季が過ぎれば再び大量の土砂が海岸に堆積していきます。漸く気付いたのですが市街地の小さな海水の川を含む海岸は年々浅くなっているのです。
この話の信憑性は分かりませんが、昔はイーストポイントで（陸から？まさか）バショウカジキですら釣れたらしいですよ。
