Sunday Played with my first Stella Rockcod #292-#294 Flathead #45-#46 Queenfish #14

I received SHIMANO STELLA 2500FE at last.
It's a very long lay-buy.

I couldn't see a very dangerous bump in road at that night.
I was shocked very much when my scooter hit the bump.
Unfortunately, my new stella fell off out of the rod holder on my scooter while driving.
As a result, my brand new stella had many badly damages on its beautiful body.
I hadn't used it.

And I played with my stella today.
SHIMANO STELLA 2500FE was much nicer than I had expected.
Especially its drag system was amazing!

I had a very nice fishing time with Mr. Keith Watson this afternoon.
I hooked a very nice sized barramundi but new stella's drag sound was too good.
I misunderstood it.
had to get the feel of new stella.
As a result, I couldn't keep hooking that fish.

SHIMANO STELLA 2500FE is super!

I enjoyed my new stella very much.

Saturday afternoon Barramundi 699 Trevally 27 CULTIVA SUSPENDING MIRASHAD

I sometimes said that Cultiva Suspending lure should be a very, very good lure for catching Rockcod, Trevally, Flathead and Barramundi.

Originally, My very good friend, Chonga, gave this lure to me.

The tides were not so good.
It's a very windy day and so the water was wavy.

There were thousands of oyster rocks under the water here.
Normally, if you're a beginner of the lure fishing, you'll lose your lures without doubt.
Even shallow diving floating lures will snag here.
The most difficult shallow-rocks point in Darwin.

But this lure was amazing.
This lure wasn't a floating lure.
Cultiva Suspending MIRASHAD did work!
Even if you caught a rock with this lure, you would recover it without difficulty.
Actually, I caught rocks more than 10 times here today.
The line-snapping technique helped for recovering lures.
This technique requires practice to get the timing down, but once perfected, lures often pop free on the first try.

Trevally was a very good fighter.

After all, I hooked 6 fish with Cultiva Suspending MIRASHAD today.
But these hooks were very small and so I couldn't land 4 fish up.
I enjoyed the lure fishing very much today too.

Sunday lunch time Rockcod 191 CULTIVA SUSPENDING

I thought that there was too much fresh water because of a big rain.
Everything smelled fresh water here.

I couldn't expect to catch any fish.

But I wanted to test a new lure today.
It's a CULTIVA SUSPENDING.
I've already used this lure.
And I know that it's a very, very good lure.

I wanted to test a different one in colour.
Originally, I know that GREEN GOLD is very good in colour.

Today's colour: ?? GHOST?
