Barramundi #1141-1142 Golden-snapper #19 Very clear and cold water

Many people's attention is drawn to the barramundi fishing in the dry season in a negative way.

• Some people say that barramundi don't like a cold water.
• Some people say that barramundi don't like a very clear water.

It would not be false to the facts, but it is not the best answer.
Because I know that some people caught nice sized barramundi in the dry season.
They mainly caught those barramundi in the night time, hardly causes wariness in the nice sized barramundi.

My fish finding technologies based on experience, theoretical and methodological knowledge.
I don't have sonar technologies to find fish.
Still, I can catch some small sized barramundi in the daytime in the dry season.

Sunday of May 27
Firstly, I went fishing at Mindil Beach.
The seawater was very clear and cold.
As you know, there are thousands of rocks covered with oysters in this very shallow water.
I used a hard-body shallow-diving lure.
I hooked and released three small sized barramundi.
There is a knack in doing it.
The most productive approach is winding the fishing line very slowly under the condition like this.

Secondly, I went fishing at East Point.
The seawater was very clear and cold.
I caught and released a small sized barramundi on Boots 90mm floating.

I caught a small golden-snapper on Salmo Sting 90mm floating.

I caught and released a small barramundi on Rapala Countdown 90mm sinking.

Barramundi #965 Salmo Sting 9F Suspending lure

The factory made suspending lures will rise slowly or sink slowly.
I need a true suspending lure for our cold waterfishing.
What's a true suspending lure?
When you stop reeling, the lure stops at the depth that the lure was at that point.
The lure just hovers in place.

The buoyancy of sea water is different from the buoyancy of fresh water.
Using a saltwater having a salt concentration of sea water, after several experiments, I finally succeeded in making an effective suspending lure for our cold water fishing.

This lure was originally a floating lure.
I added or reduced the sprit rings.
I changed the sizes of the treble hooks.

Today's tides were big and so the productive fishing windows were very short.
The moon was bright and so I didn't go to the shore.
I went to an urban creek to fish with Mitsutoshi Sato.
Delayed by the quicker tide than I had expected, we started late.
The water was very clear and still cold.
The time allowed to fish in that productive fishing window was limited to only 10minutes.
We caught these barramundi within 10minutes after we arrived at this creek tonight.
We used the suspending minnows with fine adjustment.
We released them back to the water.

Very yummy Trevally's sashimi in Salsa I pited this fish. Trevally #43 SALMO STING 9F

This fish was bleeding so much when I landed him.
I pitted him.
That's the reason why I killed him while feeling sorry.

 I wanted to repay his death.
Salsa is a good way to eat small trevally.

Trevally's raw slices

Salt (2), Sugar (1), Black pepper, Basil and Rosemary

These above seasonings may be sprinkled on top.
Cool these slices in the refrigerator for an hour.

Remove these slices from the refrigerator, and then should be washed quickly and dried quickly.

White wine (1) and Wine vinegar (2)

Pickle these slices in a plastic bag for 15 - 30 minutes.

Salsa

Tomato, Green capsicum, Onion and Garlic should be chopped.
Lemon should be sliced.
Salt, Tabasco.

Extra virgin olive oil

From what I've seen of the product so far, Polish lures are pretty good! Trevally #42 Rockcod #321-322 Salmo STING 9F

Don't forget that good jobs are very hard to come by these days.
I like a Polish lure a lot recently.
HRT Lures Mad minnow 70mm should be one of the best shallow diving lures in the whole world.
On the other hand, there was one happy thing yesterday.
I was given a Polish lure by a friend of mine.
And then I went fishing to an urban channel when the tide was going out this morning.
The water was very clear.
Even with that, the wind was very strong.
However, I enjoyed using a Polish lure very much.
Anyone can easily make movements rich in plain actions by adding irregular movements to periodical movements without requiring so-called skillful rod actions.

The biggest trevally of the day.

Rockcod took it when actions are stopped.

Barramundi would take this fish.
But there were not barramundi here.

Good restaurant sized rockcod
