Sunday evening Barramundi #873 LIVELY LURES MADMULLET Trevally #35 MARIA MJ-1 S110F

The tides were good.
The surface of the sea was slightly wavy.
The above situation was very good for catching a nice sized barramundi.

But, I couldn't catch a nice sized barramundi tonight.
I should have arrived at this point 30minutes earlier..
The water had already gone much when I arrived at this point.

In addition, I didn't use an insect repellent tonight.
That's too bad!

After all, I caught a small barramundi and trevelly.

How about trying barramundi sushi? Using marinated-sliced flesh of barramundi

Method for preparing barramundi sushi at home.

Hygiene is always a concern;　The fish must be very, very flesh.

• Bleed fish properly
• Keep fish in esky properly
• Must keep the fish in ice cooled seawater at any moment.

Firstly, prepare marinated barramundi sliced flesh in soy sauce, sugar and ginger.
It will take 4hours at least in the fridge.
Ginger: You only need a very, very small quantity.

Sliced barramundi flesh marinated in sweet soy sauce and ginger for 6hours in the fridge.

Secondly, prepare vinegared rice beforehand.

You can buy necessary materials in the same store, Woolworth or Coles.

When rice is cooked (steamed), prepare a big bowl and put rice with vinegar (OBENTO SUSHI SEASONING) in it and supplying cooling air to the mixture from a blower.

How to use OBENTO SUSHI SEASONING:
Sprinkle 3tbsp of Obento Sushi Seasoning to 1cup of cooked (steamed) rice in a big bowl.

That looks vinegared rice having vinegar too much at the beginning.

Using spatula, fold the sushi seasoning into the rice.
Let the rice cool to room temperature before using to make sushi.

You need to fan for blowing off water from the vinegared rice.

Put the vinegared rice on a nori, and put sliced marinated barramundi on the rice, and finally fold the nori.
You may sprinkle lime juice or put some wasabi paste if you like.

I like to eat 4rolls of this sushi at one time.
It's very, very tasty.

103cm Barramundi by land based Mr. Mykey Cambell The barrage of Shady Camp

Shady camp is a "Land based barramundi fishing Mecca" located in Mary River National Park, just 60minutes' drive from Darwin.
Many anglers made efforts to apply their individual skills to catch a metery barramundi there.
However, it's by no means easy to catch a meter sized barramundi there.

I heard that Mr. Mykey Cambell caught a metery barramundi recently there and so asked him to send some information of his metery barramundi fishing to me.
He readily complied with my request.
I received an email from Mr. Mykey Cambel.

Hi Hiro

Sorry to have taken so long to get this to you. I have been very busy lately.

I hope that you are recovering well from your surgery and well done getting out and catching fish again!

This is the 103 barra I caught at Shady Camp last week.

She was caught land-based from the salt water side of the barrage itself at 11:30pm on a weedless soft plastic towards the bottom of a dropping tide.

When  she struck she ran hard taking out nearly all of my line before I was able to turn her. She jumped four times and fought very hard. After fifteen minutes I was able to land her and after a quick couple of photos I released her back into the river.

I am very excited about this capture which is my biggest barra to date.

When fishing the barrage at night fishermen should remain vigilant as crocs are plentiful and unpredictable.

Many thanks and kind regards

Mike

Saturday evening 72cm urban barramundi #872 MARIA MJ-1 S110F

Slightly wavy surface of the sea brought a very fat 72cm urban sea barramundi to me.
I couldn't catch any nice sized barramundis in these two days because of the flat surface of the sea.

My theory comported with the facts again.

The tide was going out.
It's the sunset time around 2.5 hours after the highest tide today.
The water current was moving well.
Maria MJ-1 S110F is a great lure for our shallows.

Friday night Barramundi #871 SQUIDGY PRO MONGREL

Ah, just as I thought, I couldn't catch a nice sized barramundi again.

• The tide didn't move much.

• No-wind state.

• The surface of the sea was flat.

The situation is hopeless.

This is an important theory for catching a sea barramundi on our shallow waters.

Finally, I caught a small barramundi.

My theory comported with the facts tonight.

Thursday night Barrramundi #870 YO-ZURI SS-MINNOW

• The half moon and stars were shining above me.

• No-wind state!

I don't like this situation.

• The surface of the sea was flat.

• The water was very clear.

• More worse, the water current was weak. 

That's very bad!

A good sized barramundi wouldn't come to take lures on our shallows.
After all, a small barramundi took a very high-performance lure.
