Barramundi #1217-1220

This is the first time in a while that I update this blog.
My fishing frequency itself was reduced.
The traffic accident deprived me of my ligaments on my left knee in 2019.
In addition, the very hot days have been continuing.
My activities have been centered on those of a contributor to edit a movie about the land based barramundi fishing rather than being a writer to edit a blog recently.
I'm reflecting back on things.
I should put effort into everything no matter what it is next.

58cm Barramundi #1210 52cm Barramundi #1211 Threadfinsalmon #1-2 Goldensnapper #23

I had fan fishing for the first time in four months in Channel Island.
I caught in a traffic accident in March.
I had been in bed for three weeks because of that.
I went to Japan after that.
I resumed my land based fishing starting from May 8 in Darwin.
During the next two months, it was very difficult to access to the fishing spot in Channel Island in the day time depending on the tidal level.
A land based fishing for the first time in a while at Channel Island was good.
The water was cold.
It was windy.
I fished at the lee of small island because the winds were contrary.
Saturday's results:
58cm Barramundi
Threadfin salmon
Sunday's results:
Golden snapper
52cm Barramundi
Threadfin salmon
I used a Halco Catch Scent as a fish-attracting.
I could confirm that it has the result.
Barramundi would take lures even at a low water temperature.
I have caught several blue salmon for many years but this was first time I caught threadfin salmon on lure in this shallow water.

54cm and 52cm Barramundi #1199-1200 Reidy's Junior B52 Zerek Flat shad

I went fishing at Mindil beach rocks by my 50cc scooter on May 19. It was windy but the sea surface was not wavy in the dry season here.  That is different from the wet season.  The water was very clear.  I came to the edge of the retreating water, and wading a little way in, I saw many stingrays swimming in the knee deep water.  I walked in sliding steps so that I would not step on the stingray with foot.  I was stung by a stingray while walking in this shallow water in the night before.  I feared I should die at that time.  The water was colder than I had expected.  It was not too much to say that the water was a first-rate-clear water.  A colour called Kryptonite of Reidy's lures is a natural for the first-rate-clear water.  I used Reidy's lures Junior B52.  A good-quality fishing reel having a high-gear ratio has a good command of Reidy's lures Junior B52 in a knee deep water.  I used Shimano Antares DC (Digital Control) MDXG (Monster Drive Tuned High-gear ratio 7.8) as a fishing reel.  As a result, I caught and released a 54cm barramundi.  In addition, I caught and released a 52cm barramundi on Zerek Flatshad 85mm.

Barramundi #1189 Catfish #50 Zerek Flat Shad 110mm

When I look back, I realize that Darwin had only two days of the calm days in December.
I went fishing at Mindil Beach rocks on December 28.
The sea was still having a dirty water with the coral spawn.
However, the condition was getting better.
There were thousands of rocks covered with oysters in the water.
Needless to say, what I'm always aiming at is catching barramundi.
The barramundi was hiding behind rocks at a depth of 30 - 50 cm.
Using a soft plastic lure "weedless", I can effectively catch barramundi in a place like this.
I used a Zerek Flat Shad 110mm.
The wind rippled the surface of the sea.
The wind condition can either positively or negatively affect the quality of the fishing.
The wind gave the motivation to fish.
I had a strong fish bite on my lure.
It's a strong fish.
Without looking at that fish, I recognized "not barramundi" with a special feeling at once.
I caught and released a catfish.

Soon, I had a strong fish bite on my lure again.
I recognized barramundi's bite at once.
Barramundi draws with irregular and more complicated motion during the fighting.
As a result, I caught and released a barramundi.

By the way, I used Squidgies S-Factor as a fish-feeding stimulant.
The user can get the better fish-catch rates simply by applying the gel to a body of the soft plastic lure.
Zerek Flat Shad has a suitable design for using Squidgies S-Factor.

Lure: Zerek Flat Shad

Size: 110mm

Colour: White

Where: Shallow water 30cm - 50cm deep

Water: Murky / Outgoing

Line: Surfix 832 30lb

Leader: Jinkai 40lb

Knot: The Albright Knot

Reel: Shimano Calcutta 200D

Rod: Abu Garcia Veritas VAT3.C 661M 6'6" 1pc 5-8kg 8-50g

Catfish #49 52cm Barramundi #1188 Queenfish #31

Sunday on December 23,
Location: Fannie Bay rocks
Fish: Catfish
Lure: Zerek Flat Shad 110mm
Lure colour: White mainly
The sea was slightly wavy.
The water was dirty with the coral spawn.
It rained heavily on the previous day.
The sea barramundi don't like this water condition on shore.
By contrast, the catfish will take lures in this water condition.
As expected, I caught a catfish.
The hook was bent and broken by this catfish.

Monday on December 24,
Location: Channel Island
Fish: Barramundi
Lure: Squidgy Pro Mongrel 90mm
Lure colour: Dark blue mainly
There was a dirty water with the coral spawn in a very shallow water side.
There was a clean water across the dirty water.
I cast the lure to the clean water side.
I used Squidgies S-Factor as a fish-feeding stimulant.
As a result, I caught a 52cm barramundi after 3 weeks.

Tuesday on December 25,
Location: Channel Island
Fish: Queenfish
Lure: Squidgy Pro Mongrel 90mm
Lure colour: White mainly
The water was very dirty with the fresh water as a result of the heavy rain on the previous day.
I had to cast the lure to a clean water across the dirty water.
I caught a queenfish.

I thought it would be best to concentrate on improving casting distance for the land based fishing on lure.

Barramundi #1186-1187 54cm Barramundi #1188 Zerek Live Shad Yo-zuri Pin's Minnow Zerek Live Cherabin

Do you think it will be sunny all day?
It is often heavy rain with thunder in this season.
Even if it is clear, it is hard to fish in the heat in the afternoon.
Also, a strong wind from the sea blows in the afternoon at this time of year in my usual fishing locations.
That's why I went fishing in the morning.
Saturday on December 1, I went fishing at Myilly Point rocks.
The seawater was very muddy in colour.
The tide was coming into the shallow.
Firstly, I used Zerek Live Shad 110mm having a white colour.
I believe that a white colour works for the milky water in the rainy season in lure.
As a result, I caught and released a small barramundi.

The level of the seawater was rising little by little.
Secondly, I used Yo-zuri Pin's Minnow 90mm having a silver colour.
It's a very reliable lure in the shallow water.
As a result, I caught and released a small barramundi.

When the seawater level increased further, I used Zerek Live Cherabin 100mm having a white colour.
I hooked a barramundi but missed that fish.
Soon, I hooked a better barramundi in size.
It's a 54cm barramundi.
As you know, 55cm is the minimum overall length in our barramundi fishing.
I released that fish.

Where: Shallow water 30cm - 50cm deep

Water: Murky / Incoming

Line: Surfix 832 30lb

Leader: Jinkai 40lb

Knot: The Albright Knot

Reel: Shimano Curado 150 DC

Rod: Redington Model CPX868C2 8'6" Medium Action 8-15lb 1/8-1/2oz

Barramundi #1185 Catfish #48 Golden Snapper #21 Rockcod #343 Blue Salmon #8 Trevally #49

Though it's Wednesday, the Channel Island was very crowded with fishing people.
I should avoid fishing locations where people crowd.
Thursday on November 22, I went fishing at Fannie Bay rocks.
There wasn't anyone at this place but me.
I used a 6'6" medium-action fishing rod.
Usually, a medium-action fishing rod is cheaper than a fast-action fishing rod.
I think a medium-action fishing rod useful for beginners.
You can enjoy lure fishing at reasonable price.
The result will be better than you expected.
As a result, I caught a catfish, golden snapper, rockcod and barramundi on Zerek Live Cherabin 100mm having a white colour.

Thursday on November 23, I went fishing at Mindil Beach rocks.
The weather of the wet season is unstable.
The thunder was rolling in the distance.
I used Yo-zuri Pin's Minnow 90mm having a gold colour.
I used a 8'6" long-sized medium-action fishing rod.
As a result, I caught a 50cm blue salmon.
This fish was a good fighter.

Soon, the thunderstorm broke.
I didn't want to be struck by lightning.

Sunday on November 25,
I went fishing at a place near my place.
As was to be expected, there were not many people there.
I used Yo-zuri Pin's Minnow 90mm and 8'6" long-sized medium-action fishing rod again.
As a result, I caught a 50cm GT.
This fish was very tenacious.

I made sushi with GT.
I had normal sushi and zuke-sushi for a late lunch.
The flesh in fish that was marinated in soy sauce and mirin seasoning with a little ginger.

 When making sushi, forming of bite sized sweet-vinegar rice is the highlight for sushi chef to show his technique.
