Certainly, we had considerable amount of rainfall which we had hoped for and a fishing probability should go on increasing, but it depends on some sea conditions. Barramundi #912-913 SQUIDGY PRO MONGREL Reidy's RUBBERS

Certainly, we had considerable amount of rainfall which we had hoped for and a fishing probability should go on increasing, but it depends on some sea conditions in our wet season.

The tide:
Too fast or too slow water current should be avoided.
The best tide shifts with the best fishing.
The big tide has many chances to catch a sea barramundi but each chance has a very short fishing window.

The rainfall:

I still fish the shore when it is rainy, but it is not the ideal time.

In my experience, the best time for catching many good-size saltwater barramundi from the shore in the rainy season is when we have had no rainy for 24 hours.

The water quality:
It's easier to catch a sea barramundi in murky water than in clear water but in my experience, the sea barramundi won't take lures under the water condition of becoming murky because of the spawning of the coral.

The sea surface:
The sea barramundi comparatively won't take lures in a deadly calm water.
The sea barramundi comparatively will take lures in a slightly wavy water.
The sea barramundi comparatively won't take lures in a very wavy water.

My very good friend, Mr. Takahiro Nakamura caught two keeper-sized barramundi under the water condition of becoming slightly wavy with BOMBER LONG 14A Fire Tiger at the rocks on an urban shore when he stayed in Darwin before.
.
A fishing probability will increase rapidly when these above conditions are satisfied.

As a result, I couldn't catch any nice sized sea barramundi on Saturday and Sunday because these above conditions weren't satisfied..

Tuesday Incoming tide Barramundi #911 MARIA AMNIS 1

I caught a small barramundi on the outgoing-tide before sundown.
And I went home once.
And then I returned here.  What a joke!
I didn't want to miss tonight incoming-tide in deadly earnest.

The sea surface was wavy.
It already reached its limits.
Normally, I can't catch any barramundi in a very wavy condition.

I waded in shallow water in search of good fishing points.
The water came up to my knees and was very murky.
I felt slightly anxious in the dark and thought about unfortunate things that might happen.
I was worried about crocodile, shark, stingray, stonefish and boxjellyfish.

There were so many rocks covered with oysters under the water.

It's very windy.
I needed a heavy lure for extending flying distance.
I chose a Maria Amnis 1 120mm 18grm.
It moves just beneath the sea surface with a very lively head-shaking action and is a very good for really shallow, rocky ground.

As a result, I caught a small urban barramundi.

Tuesday Outgoing tide Barramundi #910 SQUIDGY PRO MONGREL

I went fishing to an urban beach after work before sundown.
The tide was going out.
The sea surface was wavy but not very wavy.
There were so many rocks covered with oysters under the water here.

I used a bait-cast rod with 6'6" length.
I needed to extend flying distance of lures.

As a result, I caught a small urban saltwater barramundi.

The settings of adequate dragging powers Barramundi #908-909 Rockcod #324 SQUIDGY PRO MONGREL

I was absorbed in fishing over the weekend.
That was of course by land base.
And I enjoyed fishing over the weekend very much.
However, I wasn't satisfied with my results.
I couldn't keep hooking up three nice sized barramundi and lost them.
When those nice sized barramundi jumped from the water, they shook their heads and dislodged lures from their mouths.
Probably, my drag settings was too tight.
I had to learn the settings of adequate dragging powers capable of preventing to be slipped out from the mouth cavity of the barramundi and surely hooking up the barramundi.
The ideal drag settings shouldn't have been tight for catching a nice sized barramundi in my fishing location.
I improved the settings of dragging powers.
As a result, I caught a saltwater barramundi at an urban rocks this evening.

Friday evening Golden Snapper #16 SHADS

I lost a nice sized barramundi at East Point before I came here.
The settings of dragging powers was incorrect, so I probably wouldn't be able to hook the nice sized barramundi properly.
My dragging powers might be too strong.

The tide was coming in the Mindil Beach.
The sea surface was slightly wavy.
But I had missed a good chance for catching a barramundi at that point.

Since the condition of the sea surface was nice today, I kept fishing there.

As a result, I caught a Golden snapper.

Thursday evening Barramundi #907 SQUIDGY PRO MONGREL

Today's tides

02:56am - 2.51m
08:27am - 6.45m
15:07pm - 1.23m
17:30pm - too wavy at East Point
18:00pm - wavy at Mindil Beach, Barramundi.
21:40pm - 7.12m too wavy

I was afraid it would be too wavy when I was fishing at Mindil Beach this evening.
I waded through the shallow water.
There were so many rocks covered with oysters under the water.
These rocks will bring many troubles of snagging to beginners.

As a result, I caught a small barramundi there.
