Hitting the mangrove jackpot

I got up early in the morning.

I got up early in the morning.

I heard the very wavy sea.

My normal fishing fields would be very rough again.

I saw many rocks and gravel areas where sand had been washed away by torrential rain on the beach.

That’s a very good sign for our fishing this year.

I went to an urban creek.

There were many leaves and branches and decomposed vegetation on the surface of the water.

I thought that barramundi would be reluctant to take lures under these conditions.

By the way, I was given the lure I was using by my very good friend Chonga.

So I cast it along the mangroves and retrieved with a stop-and-go action.

As a result, I caught a mangrove jack.
