71cm Barramundi #1037
Squidgy Pro Mongrel
Something unusual happened in food chains.

Last weekend, I caught a 71cm barramundi at Channel Island by making full use of my own information system for thinking device just like a pearl grader for pearling.
I work for the Paspaley Pearling.
Paspaley Pearling is, of course, a famous pearl-producer of Australian South Sea Pearls, who makes the world's best pearls.
Checking pearls is something that is appropriately estimating the growing condition of mother pearl oysters for me.
Due to my job, fishing barramundi is something that is guessing the environment surrounding barramundi for me.
As you know, I have no car or boat.
In order for me to efficiently catch barramundi on lures by land based around Darwin city, it is important to understand several interrelated food chains in the shallow water, weathers, water temperatures, tides, fishing locations, barramundi's life-cycle and barramundi's trait of being cautious.
I need to judge that as a whole.
As a result, this may sound like blowing my own horn, but I could have an invisible skills dependent on experience in land based barramundi fishing on lures.
Am I exaggerating the barramundi fishing?
Please overlook that because I'm a pearl grader for pearling.
It will be all right to you, somehow.
Because you know that things do not go by theory alone.

I sometimes feel anxious about the taste of sea-barramundi this year. 
Even for me that was unclear to understand the phenomenon of a decrease in flavor.
I asked my big boss, Mr. James Paspaley, for his advice about this matter.
His opinion was clear and explicit.
Barramundi didn't take in jelly-prawn very much this year.
His remark pulled me up sharply.
I haven't seen any big schools of jelly-prawn in my usual fishing locations this year.
Now I see the light.
Conversely, it shows the fact about something unusual happened in their food chains.
Isn't that just what you'd expect from the top person of the Paspaley Pearling?
He certainly has the character of a truly great pearling man.
That's why the Paspaley Pearling can make the world's best pearls.
I caught a 71cm barramundi on a Squidgy Pro Mongrel 90mm Buff Mullet at Channel Island last weekend.
Squidgy Pro Mongrel 90mm has been very successful in my usual fishing locations so far this year.
It is not extraneous that large outbreak of jelly-prawn is decrease.

If it were usual, I would have eaten barramundi in sashimi style.
That's why I made numus this time.

57cm Barramundi #1036
Squidgy Pro Mongrel
Milky water

It seems that the quality rainy season has set in.
I want this rainy season to shower benefits upon us this time.
The quality rainy season pays in the long run.
However, it's very difficult for a land based fisherman to fish in the shallow waters due to the prolonged rainy weather.
There will be a lot of mostly very wavy days in my usual fishing locations in the rainy season.

I went home as soon as work's over and then I went to Mindil Beach to fish before the sun went down.
A sea barramundi doesn't approach to the very shallow water due to being low in the salinity concentration in the shallow water recently.
I had to approach to barramundi.
I waded through the shallow water and had a walk of approximately 25 meters in the water.
The water was very milky.
I saw some stingrays around me.
Finally, I caught a 57cm beautiful barramundi on a Squidgy Pro Mongrel 90mm Rainbow-fish colour.

Barramundi #1035
Squidgy Pro Mongrel
Big tide at a smal creek

Tonight's high tide was very big.
19:52pm--7.92m

I went to Mindil Beach to fish.
The big tide brought barramundi to the small creek tonight.
The number wasn't a lot.

Due to the rain last night, the water was murky.
Luckily, there were not many marine suspended matters.
It's clear the way for lure fisherman.

The moon was at the full but the moon was luckily low in the sky.
The wind condition was also good in a gentle breeze.

I needed to cast lures to a point position on the side far from my standing position.
I could cast lures effectively by wading in the water.
That would be very dangerous because there were many stingrays in this water.
In addition,  a 2.5m crocodile was seen sunning itself on the Cullen Bay sandbar a few days ago.

Finally, I caught one of the few barramundi in that situation.
That fish wasn't very big in size.
Taking the fishing location into consideration, this result was better than nothing.

The FG knot was equipped in advance at home but I had a breakage of my fishing-line at this creek tonight.
I had to knot the fishing lines on the spot.
After all, I tied the Slim Beauty knot at that time.

70cm and 62cm Barramundi #1033 and #1034
Maria MJ-1 SF110
Squidgy Pro Mongrel

It's natural that there are some places having high cost effectiveness for the sponsors of Million Dollar Fish.
I heard that some barramundi with a red tag were released from the boat lamp at Channel Island too.
So I went to Channel Island to fish and sought out that chance.

The tides on October 8
03:35am--3.15m
09:10am--5.64m
16:13pm--2.31m
22:32pm--5.89m

The tides on October 9
04:25am--3.56m
09:39am--5.16m
17:03pm--2.72m
23:27pm--5.55m

I caught 70cm and 62cm barramundi on October 8 but didn't catch any fish on October 9 at Channel Island.

The best tide shifts with the best fishing point every hour.
There was a widespread milky water there on October 8.
There was a stretch of seawater without current or movement on October 9.
In addition, the current caused by tides was very slow.
The seawater was clear.




70cm Barramundi was caught on a Maria MJ-1 SF110.

62cm Barramundi was caught on a Squidgy Pro Mongrel 90mm Rainbow Fish.

Million Dollor Fish started.
Mr. Jason Smith

Million Dollar Fish started today!
Jason Smith and his son, Reece came to Channel Island to fish Million Dollar Fish.
Jason used a Gold Bomber for the super shallow water.
It's a special lure technique with high level of difficulty.
The form of raising a fishing rod held to the top, and holding it up high to the front.
I often use that method too.
As a result, Jason caught a barramundi, but that fish didn't have a million dollar fish tag.
This young fisherman knew that his father is the much better fisherman than Hiro.
Because I couldn't catch any barramundi there.




It's a local culture created by many local fishermen.
Darwin's local fishermen and fisher-women having a high standard in barramundi fishing are very generous.
They are having interest in my activity as one of the barramundi fishing.
I also have interest in their fishing methods.

Some people feel uneasy with my fantastically dressed style having knee-pads and elbow-pads while I am fishing. 

I injured my legs, arms and fingers many times especially while I was wading in the murky waters. 
To make matter worse, I'm 56 years old having a minor case of diabetes.
I really won't get injured.
I also don't want you to get injured.
In addition, we might encounter various dangerous animals at the land based fishing locations.
