61cm Barramundi #957 Rapala Flatrap East Point Incoming tide

Yesterday was tiring.
My fishing rods and reels were all covered with salt mud yesterday.
I gave those reels overhauls by myself this morning.
I was pressed for time because I had lots of things to do today.
So I didn't go to the Channel Island to fish.
As a result, I went fishing to the East Point by my old 50cc scooter this afternoon.

The tide was coming. 
02:53am - 1.44m
09:17am - 6.85m
15:19pm - 2.44m
20:51pm - 5.98m

I failed to catch a queenfish on Rapala Flatrap first.
I continued to cast a Rapala Flatrap.
Finally I caught a 61cm barramundi around 17:00pm there.

69cm Barramundi #956 Sebile Swingtail Channel Island land based fishing

I bought a new 150cc SYM Symphony from the Scooter Shop.
It was remodeled for my land based fishing with guarantee safety by Mr. Callum Gumball.
Callum is always the best mechanic to me.

This trip was new to my new scooter.
I went fishing to the Channel Island.
It's very windy.
I waded through the shallow water to the small island there.
The mud was sometimes deep.

The tide was going out.
The water was murky.
I failed to catch two barramundi first.
One of them was a nice sized one.
This fish damaged the top line guide of my bait-cast fishing rod.
I had a spinning rod also.
Casting the Sebile Swingtail, I felt a small strike by fish.
I hooked a heavy fish and controlled the drag pressure against the drawing by the fish.
As a result, I caught a 69cm nice barramundi.

Nice stainless rod holders are welded on the both sides with the quality of being safe.

The knee deep mud made very difficult to draw my legs.
I tried to move forward at a crawl.
If it happened while the tide was coming in, I couldn't survive under the condition like this.
