I HAD high hopes for the tide on Sunday.
Many people take notice of the big tide for catching a barramundi, but the tide wasn’t big.
04.46 – 5.94m
11.20 – 2.71m
16.58 – 5.65m
23.11 – 2.27m
It was a “there’s no time like the present” tide among the locals who really know.
A long fish-window can be expected from a tide like that.
In addition, the sea surface was wavy, so barramundi had less wariness as they were hidden from their natural enemies, and had cover from which to ambush bait fish.
My words came true! Yeah!
I caught a 62cm urban saltwater barramundi at last. I might enjoy good results only briefly because of a quiet September. I also hooked one more similar-sized barramundi but he jumped and went away.
As you know, I’m on a diet right now so I’m very hungry.
I killed this fish for my marinated dish as a result. I’m very sorry, fish. But I will make some nice marinated dishes with the slices of this fish –
marinated in soy sauce and mirin
marinated in miso and mirin
marinated in soy sauce and mirin with ginger
I strongly recommend you use these marinades for sushi.
Illegal fishos “mistakenly” sent home
A Territory judge has ruled it would be ‘unfair and unjust’ to issue an international warrant against six poor fishermen the Commonwealth mistakenly deported despite a looming court date.
Size matters as new incentive could land fishos more cash
There’s plenty of reasons to cast a line in February particularly with an exciting new twist to the Million Dollar Fish, which could see one lucky fisho walk away with an extra $40k.
