Bream me up

I HAVE been too busy to spare time for catching barramundi since July 23.

I HAVE been too busy to spare time for catching barramundi since July 23.

But on the weekend I went fishing to the urban rocks in accordance with outgoing-tide timing for catching barramundi.

I couldn’t see the right bait pattern to catch barramundi. Probably I should have used a Squidgy Fish 70mm Mint Jelly at that time.

Normally I don’t use frozen prawn bait for my fishing.

I much prefer lure fishing to bait fishing.

But I bought a pack of frozen prawn bait at the petrol station this afternoon.

Later in the day I went fishing to the urban channel in accordance with outgoing tide for catching pikey bream.

Pikey bream fishing in Darwin is held mostly in the dry season when the climate and temperature is mild, the weather is good and the sun is not too strong.

A rock cod caught on a metal tailspinner.

Very easy fishing.

I caught more than 10 pikey bream there.

These bream were smaller than in the average year.

I almost lost interest in catching those pikey bream because of having caught them too often.

I wanted to try to use a new lure – a very small tailspinner lure but heavy!

Trevally took it soon – I caught three trevally by this lure, and three rock cod also.

But I couldn’t catch any pikey bream with this lure.
