Barramundi #954 Yozuri-SS minnow Ideal tides for my land based fishing

Today's tides are ideal for my land based fishing.
That cannot be said sweepingly but a time range between 1:00pm and 16:00pm is not so good for my land based fishing in spite of the tide.
A very cold day is an exception.

03:09am - 5.88m
09:07am - 3.09m
15:00pm - 5.83m
21:59pm - 1.68m

I went to Myilly point rocks to fish this morning.
The sea surface was rippled.
The water was clear - murky.
The productive fishing window opened around 10:00am.
I caught a small barramundi on Yozuri-SSminnow.
It's a very effective lure for a very difficult shallow water.
I hooked a 30cm tarpon but couldn't land him.

I often saw these crabs on the beach recently.
It's good sign!

Queenfish #23 YO-ZURI SS-MINNOW Only one productive fishing window

The tides on March 29:

06:54am 3.12m
13:32pm 5.33m
20:48pm 4.88m

It had rained the day before.
There was bit of freshwater remaining in the sea on shore.
I went to Myilly Point rocks to fish in the morning.
The productive fishing windows were not many today.
There would be only one window just after the lowest tide in the morning.
That window was wide enough for my land-based fishing.
Fortunately, the sea was nicely rippled and very clear.
I had two short strikes from barramundi but couldn’t hook them.
Finally, I caught a queenfish on Yo-zuri SS-minnow at the very shallow water.
The water was only 20cm deep where I was casting. I used very light fishing reel and rod and so I enjoyed handling about five minutes pulling of the fish very much.

A lovely queenfish caught in shallow water on the Yo-zuri SS-minnow.

Flathead #52 YO-ZURI SS-MINNOW Very high-class sashime cusine

 

Special sashimi cuisine "Kobu-jime"

I caught a 42cm flathead on Yo-zuri SS-minnow on March 28.
Normally, Darwin's flathead is not very rich taste to compare with flathead in the coldwater.
So I made a very special sashimi cuisine with a tastily eatable method.

Land based, Darwin, NT, Australia

Sprinkle sea-salt on fish

Dried Kobu (Konbu) is a type off seaweed called kelp.

Wipe kobu with vinegar and put some sliced gingers on kobu

Place fish on kobu

Fish are sandwiched between pieces of kobu for few hours to transfer its flavor to the fish, which is called kobujime.

Kobujime is normally eaten at the high-class Japanese restaurant.
