Sunday
My fishing tackles today

When I expect that it'll be very difficult for me to catch fish, I prepare many options just in case.




My waist poach has an rod folder and so I can use 2 fishing rods.
I want to prepare as follows,
If possible.

For beginner

Hard body:
REBEL MINNOW 110mm BLACK SILVER
RAPALA XR-8 GLASS GHOST
RAPALA XR-8 DEEP DIVER GLASS GHOST
RAPALA FLATRAP 8 CROME
LUCKY CRAFT SAMMY 115 AMERICAN SHAD
LUCKY CRAFT GUNFISH 95
BOMBER LONG A 15A FIRETIGER

Soft plastic:
SQUIDGY FISH 70mm SILVER FOX, BLACK GOLD and DROP BEAR
SQUIDGY PRO MONGREL 90mm BOOF MULLTE

These lures are very effective for land based Barramundi fishing in Darwin region.

The most important factor is match the lure to the fishing rod.
4-8LB line weight should be the best for spinning rod.
10-17LB line weight should be the best for bait-cast rod.

I recommend FINS BRAID for bait-cast ree and FIRELINE for spinning reel because you don't need to worry about many line troubles.

Leader: SCHNEIDER 25-35LB because it costs very cheap.

Knot: The Kaneit Knot because it's very easy and reliable.

If you're a very beginner, try these above fishing gears.




Don't poke at crab with your fishing rod.  SILVER FOX hard body lure.




You'll sometimes catch a Mudcrab in Darwin, never poke at him/her.
Crabs can snip off your fishing rod with scissor.

Finally, you surely need gloves and non-slip boots.

Barramundi Reel & Rod for tournament
Mr. Matt West

No matter how much I catch Barramundi, I can always discover more and more about Barramundi fishing.

Choosing a rod is the most important factor in my barramundi fishing.
I use ST. CROIX rods for Baitcast reels.

I'd like to introduce Mr. Matt West's reel & rod.

Matt was the champion of Barramundi Classic 2010.
He was the 3rd. place of Barramundi Classic 2009.







Reel: SHIMANO CORE 50
Tuning: with CURADO 300E Handle



Above picture shows an original CORE 50.



Rod: 6FT. G. LOOMIS GLX BLANK
Tuning: with customized grip

His reel & rod are for winning a tournament.


You should think about your physical attributes when you choose your own rod.
You should go to see Mr. Matt West, when you want to know the best-matching rod for you.

Some rods of mine were customized by Matt.
Some reels of mine were tuned by Matt.

He is a super Barramundi master.

You could see him at Fishing and Outdoor World .

Barramundi 381
SQUIDGY FISH
Rainy Season
バラマンディールアー

There were much fresh water on the shore.
The colour of the water was milky.
Moreover, it's a very wavy water.
It's not easy for catching Barramundi today.

Under the condition like this, I should give more chances to strike lure to Barramundi. To be concrete, I made the strike point at 20cm deeper without snagging rocks.
That's why I needed a very nice Barramundi rod like a "SHIMANO T-CURVE FLIGHT 4kg 1-9g" and a very nice reel.

45cm Nicely beautiful Barramundi

My SHIMANO TWINPOWER 2500FB was tuned by Mr. Matt West who was the champion of Barramundi Classic 2010.
As a result, I got a more poweful and silkier handle, silkier line roller and better drags.

Barramundi
SQUIDGIES Soft plastic
Rainy season
BY ANGLER ALLAN

Water: Very murky Incoming Rough

Line: PE20lb + Leader line 30lb

Barramundi
YO-ZURI HARDCORE MINNOW 110F
Rainy season
BY ANGLER SAM

Sam, very experienced Darwin local land based Barramundi angler, didn't use any soft plastic baits today.

Water: Very murky Incoming Rough

Tuning: VANFOOK Double hooks #2

Line:

Rod: ST.CROIX

Sam and Allan regard YO-ZURI HARDCORE 110F as a very efficient lure at Barramundi fishing because of its super flashing in the water. That' why this lure did work for the rainy season's very murky water very well.






64cm very nice Barramundi 13 February 2011

Sam had lost another two barramundi, but finally he caught the best barramundi of the day.

Barramundi lures on River & Creek & Billabong

Major barramundi fishing in Northern Territory, Australia.

The Run Off (Mar-May):
The Kakadu region, The Daly River, Shady camp, The South Alligator River, The Mary River.


 


During the Dry Season Months (May – Oct):
Corroboree Billabong, Shady Camp Billabong, Mary River Bridge Lagoon, Hardys Lagoon, Adelaide River.

This video shows what to look for in a NT Barra Lure for Billabong Fishing.

☆A bait fish pattern

☆Diving depth of 1 metre

☆Green in colour

☆A good rattle

☆Useful loop knot




Daly River, Roper, Mary, McArthur, Finniss, Adelaide, The South and East Alligator Rivers, Bynoe Harbour, Cobourg Peninsula and Melville Island are major places too.




These above lures are popular on the river, the creek and the billabong barramundi fishing.




Very popular Australian Barramundi lures. Classic lures consistently win barramundi tournaments for anglers, mainly due to the fact that there’s a Classic Lure for each and every barra scenario – the 30 colours plus in the range see to that.




My fishing tackle for River, Creek and Billabong.
This tackle is very good for casting and trolling lures.

Lure: LUCKY CRAFT STAYSEE 90SP Ver.2

Colour: Black/Gold

Size: 90mm

Tuning: Need strong hooks and split-rings

Water: Clear - Murky on the river




Rod: WILSON & Co. Live Fibre Teritory Barra 8kg
Size: 5'6'' RLFTBD81 Medium Heavy Power
Grip: 1&1/2 handed deluxe

Reel: SHIMANO CURADO 300E
Max drg: 7kg
Tuning: Changed SS Bearings into ARB

Line: Power Pro PE50LB
Leader: Seaguar FLUOROCARBON 0.62mm Dia. at least!
Knot: The kaneit knot

High strength, abrasion resistance and durability
I think that the abrasion resistance is the most important factor for the barramundi fishing.

The drag sometimes must lock up barramundi in response to the necessity.
