We had some very big tides in these three days.
The very big tide itself isn't very bad for catching barramundi in spite of very short fish-windows.
What's the problem?
Such decomposing vegetation as black leaves, dead branches and dead grass washed in with very high tide disturb our barramundi fishing very much.
(The land water with the fulvic acid iron is very important for restoring marine environments.)
In addition, very strong water current and very wavy condition produce suspended matter such as silt or mud.
That's very bad for catching barramundi on our shallows.
I avoided the above dirty water and tried to find a clean water..
Finally, I caught a 55cm urban barramundi.
The fish-window was very short.
Only 10 minutes there.
I was very lucky!
The first 55cm legal sized barramundi in 2014 (released)
(The legal size limit for BARRAMUNDI in Australia is 55cm from nose to tip of tail.)

I used a very performance-lure.
BANDIT LURES SCOUT 2m deep is actually very good shallow diving lure.
But Gillies company changed the colours of the lures three years ago.
This following lure is painted with an original colour.
