56cm Barramundi #964 51cm Rockcod #331-333 Squidgy Pro Mongrel Lucky Craft Beefreeze Dry season's land based fishing

There was a little chill in the air while I was driving.
I dedicated to safe driving and got to the Channel Island within an hour by my new 150cc scooter.

The sea water was clear.
That gave me a sense of safety while I was wading through the shallow water because I would trip on the rocks under the water if the water was murky.
The water was cold.
The tide was going out.
I stopped at the big rocks in the middle of wading and then cast my lure.
Soon, I caught an average sized rockcod.
I waited till the outgoing tide permitted me to wade through the shallow water to the mud flat.
The productive fishing window wasn't long at the mud flat.
First I caught a 56cm barramundi on Squidgy Pro Mongrel.

To compare with the wet season's barramundi, the dry season's barramundi are powerful and more beautiful.
It's a prime seafood.

Second, I caught a 51cm rockcod on Lucky Craft Beefreeze.
That is unusual that I catch a nice sized rockcod of equal to or above 40cm by land based in Darwin.

It's a prime seafood.

Rockcod #332 on Rapala Flatrap 105mm Chrome #6 hooks

Rockcod #333 on Sebile Swingtail 85mm #6 hooks

Towards sunset I began to go home.
The dry season in which the temperature is low permits me to carry these fish to Darwin by my scooter.

I will make some prime fish and chips with these dry season's fish.

Mr. Callum Gumball made these fish holders for me.
I can concentrate on the driving.

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.

55cn Barramundi #955 Rapala flatrap Always waiting for this tide.

Yesterday's tides were ideal for my land based fishing.
Today's tides were still very good.

04:20am - 6.31m
10:17am - 2.94m
15:59pm - 6.01m
22:52pm - 1.31m

I went to Myilly point rocks to fish at 12: 10pm.
The water was murky.
The sea surface was slightly wavy.
I had a strong feeling that a barramundi would take my lure soon.
My expectation came true.
I caught a 55cm urban saltwater barramundi at 12:20pm.
Rapala Flatrap is a very effective lure for a very difficult shallow water.
The plastic bib was easy to detach before but it was likely improved with more glue.
Twitching it with furious movement was very effective under the condition like this.
