Where to fish by the tide? That they may understand this theory, I'll reveal my own secret.

It's still raining a bit of over my usual fishing locations.
Today's afternoon and evening were very wavy as usual in our rainy season.
I found it difficult to find the good productive fishing windows under the circumstances.
Today's tides were very good for my land based barramundi fishing.
Frequently asked questions are found in my website.
They don't know which tide is the best for their fishing.
I will answer that.
I also don't know which tide is best for their fishing because I don't know about their usual fishing locations.
The best tide shifts with the best fishing point every hour.
That they may understand this theory, I'll reveal my own secret map about Mindil Beach.

A: Outgoing tide 50-70cm deep water
B: Incoming tide 30-50cm deep water
C: Outgoing tide 50-70cm deep water
D: Incoming tide 30-50cm deep water
E: Incoming tide 30-50cm deep water
F: Outgoing tide 50-70cm deep water
G: Outgoing tide 50-70cm deep water
H: Outgoing tide 50-70cm deep water

After an ideally large-rainfall-wet season, I can catch much more barramundi on lures by land based in Mindil Beach than you expect.

Furthermore, weather conditions influence the results of fishing.
These are negative factors for my land based barramundi fishing.

• Too much fresh water on shallows
• Very windy
• Very wavy
• Very flat sea surface on shallows
• Sudden change of water temperature

The good fishing results are usually not  expected under the above conditions.

However, things do not go by theory alone.
It is no great wonder for you to catch barramundi under the above conditions.
Because that's fishing.
But it's by sheer luck, though.

55cn Barramundi #955 Rapala flatrap Always waiting for this tide.

Yesterday's tides were ideal for my land based fishing.
Today's tides were still very good.

04:20am - 6.31m
10:17am - 2.94m
15:59pm - 6.01m
22:52pm - 1.31m

I went to Myilly point rocks to fish at 12: 10pm.
The water was murky.
The sea surface was slightly wavy.
I had a strong feeling that a barramundi would take my lure soon.
My expectation came true.
I caught a 55cm urban saltwater barramundi at 12:20pm.
Rapala Flatrap is a very effective lure for a very difficult shallow water.
The plastic bib was easy to detach before but it was likely improved with more glue.
Twitching it with furious movement was very effective under the condition like this.

Barramundi #935 Things can move fast Sebile Swingtail minnow

Things can move fast

The tides of March 21 were as follows:

00:50am 1.24m
06:47am 7.61m
13:02pm 1.07m
19:06pm 7.89m

What actually happens in my fishing locations when the state of the difference between high and low tide is very great?
The currents caused by tides also become greater.
The sea water goes out, and comes in, more rapidly than during a neap tide.
The sea changes quickly from one state or condition to another in my fishing ­locations.
The best tide shifts with the best fishing point every hour.
That means that the greater tide is, the narrower ­productive fishing windows become.
Even in such a situation though, the fish window around the high tide becomes comparatively wide. That depends on each fishing location though.
That’s reason why I went to the Mindil Beach to fish in the early morning on March 21.
Fortunately, the sea was nicely calm and rippled.
I tried to use a new lure that I have never tried from Sebile.
The structure of this lure can be used for obtaining a powerful vibration to improve the fish attracting effect.
As a result, I caught and released a small barramundi.

Where to fish the sea barramundi by the tide on our shallows?

We have two tides in direction.

1. Incoming tide
2. Outgoing tide

If you understand the sea-barramundi's behavior by the tide, you will catch more barramundis on our shallows.

The outgoing tide is safer than the incoming tide when you fish on our shallows.
Barramundi prefer to make a surprise attack from structures in the outgoing tide especially.
It's the same as bushwhacking guerrillas attacking from ambush.
So try the spot in the outgoing tide as above.

Barramundi swims along by the under-water rock bar and rocks in the outgoing tide especially.
So try the spot as above.

In addition,
Try the small channel with muddy bottom in the outgoing tide.
Try the mouth of the very small creek in the outgoing tide. (The night time  better!)

The sea barramundi attack their bait fish almost as if a big eagle stoop at its prey in the incoming tide on our shallows.
It's not the same as bushwhacking guerrillas attacking from ambush.
It's an act of forcing their way through.
They come from off-shore to water's edge as if the Marine corps establish a shallow beachhead in the front line.
So try the spot in the incoming tide as above.

In addition,
Try the mouth of the very small creek in the incoming tide. (The night time is better!)

Probably not all, but most.
