Barramundi #947-948 hrtlures Mad Minnow Match the hatch

The tides on May 12 as follows,

05:36am 2.55m
12:02pm 5.96m
18:50pm 3.25m

The tides were very good for my land based fishing.
Fortunately, there was no moon while I was fishing.
The water was very, very clear.
The sea surface was slightly wavy.
The productive fishing window came around 8:30pm.
It lasted one hour.

It was about this time last year.
I used the same lure at the same place at the same tide.
I think that a barramundi is mainly taking a small mullet or a small whiting in my fishing locations in this season.

Match the hatch
There are exceptions to it, however.
I'm not sure how fish see the colour under the water.
I accept this theory.

Rockcod #324 YO-ZURI SS-MINNOW I don't know how to fish barramundi when they are chasing jelly prawn.

Bait a small challenge

I’m jealous that other anglers can go to the Shady Camp to fish! From the medium- to long-term viewpoint, the good amount of rain showers benefits upon our barramundi fishing. But the immediate issue for me is that the long rain would not be very good for land-based barramundi fishing in my normal urban fishing locations.
The sea has become dirty because of the inflow of a large amount of rainwater that also washes in debris and rubbish.
In addition to this factor, we have been having very wavy seas which further stir up inshore areas.
The rain stopped this weekend at last.
But the sea was very wavy as usual.
I only could go fishing to an urban creek.
I saw that many small barramundi were chasing bait in the creek.
I couldn’t see distinctly what they were eating.
Probably small shrimps, with a length of about 3-4mm, which were hopping out of the water.
When fish are feeding on very small bait like this it is hard to catch them.
I used some hard body lures and soft plastic lures to fish.
Nothing could fish them.
I didn’t know how to fish them.
After all, I only caught some small rock cod.
