57cm Saturday Barramundi #958-959 Maria MJ-1 110F Mud flat at the Channel Island

I went to the mud flat at the Channel Island to fish.
It's a still long drive by my new 150cc scooter to get there. 
It's very important to fish at the good timing on the mud flat.

The tide was moving fast.
The water was going out quickly.
The productive fish window was within 30minutes today.
It's hard to walk on the mud.
I picked my way along a walking hard ground with a stick.
The water was shallower than I had expected.
I chose a Maria MS 110F lure having a stream resistance body to suppress air resistance when cast.
This lure had a long flying distance, and capable of achieving its proper underwater posture and action on making a splashdown and after.
Soon, I caught a 57cm salt water barramundi.

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.
