Swinging in the tail

The tides were good for my land-based fishing in some of my favourite locations.

A Mindil Beach barra caught on the Sebile swing tail minnow

The tides on May 10 were as follows:

03:50am 1.71m

10:10am 6.60m

16:13pm 3.03m

21:49pm 5.76m

The tides were good for my land-based fishing in some of my favourite locations.

East Point was not so good though – the old man’s rock and Ben’s point become dangerous when the tide becomes greater than 3m.

So I went to Myilly Point to fish about 5pm.

I saw many people on the beach for the Sunday market.

The productive fishing window came just before sunset.

Two saltwater barramundi struck at my lure.
