Barramundi #1158-1159 Zerek Live Cherabin 100mm Rapala XR-8

A few times a year, a lot of small jelly prawns appear.
I sometimes saw the response of small jelly prawns to water temperature.
It is often seen on the occasion of the water temperature rise.
That is not an exception this middle of August too.
Barramundi are moving about in search of a lot of small jelly prawns now.
As a result, I don't see barramundi in my usual fishing locations very often recently.
While such situation will likely continue for the time being.
That varies from year to year, but this situation may be lasting through the September and even continuing into the October.
Of course, you will be able to enjoy barramundi fishing in some places in this season.
It depends on where a lot of small jelly prawns appeared.

There is got to be more fishing than barramundi around Darwin in this season.
I'm sure you guys will be able to enjoy the nice-sized mackerel fishing off the coast in this season.

Sure enough, it is difficult to find barramundi in my usual fishing locations now, but not entirely.
I went fishing at Channel Island on Saturday and at Mindil Beach on Sunday.
I somehow caught and released a barramundi on Zerek Live Cherabin 100mm at Channel Island.

It's a very windy day on Sunday.
I caught and released a barramundi on Rapala XR-8 Glass Ghost colour at Mindil Beach.
I think Rapala XR-8 Glass Ghost colour useful for beginners.
I upgraded those hooks and replaced to the heavy duty treble hooks.

In addition, I caught and released 5 trevally and 2 estuary cod on this lure.

Thank you very much.

I still went fishing all right, but I didn't catch any fish after all. Hiro's fishing in September

When used casually in my blog, this article can be considered to be corner-cutting.
I went fishing all right today.
But I didn't catch any fish as a result.

And with that, I have some pictures to show you.
This walk-through was named "Hiro's land based fishing tour".

This urban rock wall has many precarious footholds because of the difference in height: 7 meters between the upper and the lower.
I once tumbled off here.
I thought I was going to die at that time.

The knee pads and rock spike boots are essential for me here.

The elbow pads are essential for me also.

Whenever it's wet under foot I must move carefully.
Thus my weight was more than 95kg when I was the heaviest.
It was quite dangerous.
That's reason why I'm on a diet.

I couldn't catch any fish at that rock wall after all and so I went to an urban shallow water. next.
That means that "Look out!  There will be a crocodile coming."
That is not much of a problem here.

That is a nice place to see and walk also.

It looked very cool and shady.
"Not it."

I heard the sound of waves rushing ashore.
This was the passage to the sea.

The sea came into  sight.

I had to wade through the shallow water.
I confirmed that a crocodile was not here.

The incoming tide is quite dangerous here.
It means knowing when enough is enough.

As a result, I couldn't catch any fish today.

I posted these following articles before.


I was suddenly accosted by someone at the shop on the way there.
He said, "We will soon be catching more barramundi because the water temperature is rising now."
I only smiled at that time.
As many attentive readers of my fishing blog have already known, I didn't catch many fish in this coming season every year on our urban shallow waters.
The season, from the middle of August to the beginning of October, that the water temperature is rising should be the most difficult time to catch fish on our urban shallow waters to me.
That is more difficult than the winter season.
An unanticipated situation occurred in this winter.
Normally, I caught some nice sized barramundi even in the cold water.
I couldn't catch many barramundi in this winter even though we had a very good monsoon rainy season last time.
I would have never imagined that.

People generally believe that more barramundi will take lures in September because the water temperature is increasing.
Is it really the case?
In so far as my fishing location, it seems that barramundi won't take lures on our urban shallows while the water temperature is increasing even to compare with the winter season.
I should correct it into a more suitable expression.
Barramundi won't come to our urban shallows in that season.
Probably, the reason is why the absolute number of mullet is small on our urban shallows in that season.

We can't certainly expect more barramundi with a highly active condition under a low water temperature.
In addition, barramundi becomes more cautious against lures in a very clear water of the winter season.
However, barramundi must eat to live and so they will take lures on an empty stomach even in the cold water.
We can expect to catch more barramundi on our urban shallows in June and July rather than in September in that kind of meaning.
For some reason I couldn't catch a suitable number of barramundi in June and July this year.

So, what shall we do with it?
Very easy!
We don't need to push ourselves to catch barramundi on our urban shallows in these above season.

From my experience, it should be a very good season for catching Spanish mackerel in September around Darwin.

I accidentally recovered my lost lure from the sea this afternoon. The water temperature is rising but ???

I went fishing to an urban shallow water this afternoon.
The sea surface was slightly wavy which means very good for catching barramundi at the very good timing of incoming tide.
The water temperature wasn't very cold.
The water colour was murky on the shallow.
But I didn't catch any fish there.

"When one door shuts another opens."
I caught a very nice lure on the shallow water.

I accidentally recovered my lost lure from the sea.
I didn't even imagine that we would meet there this afternoon.
That was absolutely unexpected.
This lure was my lost Maria MJ1, without mistake.
There was a clip, FORCE TEN STAINLESS DUO LOCK SNAPS #2, to the lure, which only proved.

I recovered my lost lure with YO-ZURI SS-Minnow with double hooks.
