Catching Barramundi During a Tough Bite... A Simple Strategy 

@@hafizal3783 yes mate for sure… frogs aren’t just for skipping or pitching 👍🎣

@@sportfishingjunkie appreciate that bro 💖 good luck

@@hafizal3783 thanks mate same to you 🎣😎

I’m a lure guy mate so can pretty much only comment on that… although a lot is transferable to bait. Lot a different ways to target Barra but happy to put up a few basics to point ya in right direction. Being winter mornings will be tough so target the afternoon low tides in shallows to find warmer pockets. Look for bait and patches of dirty water where the Barra can hide. Lot assume Barra are always on snags but 80% of mine are in open water where warm pockets, food and dirty water meet. As for lures… everything eats a prawn and I use a lot of prawn style lures. Don’t fish Cairns much so can’t help location wise but plenty of areas to work lures up there. Hope this helps… feel free to reach out if you have any other Q’s… and good luck 🍀🎣

Cheers mate 🎣

Hey mate… currently I run a Samaki skitch X rod (701ML… or 701M for bigger fish) with a shimano stradic ci4 3000, which is no longer on the market, so I’ve switched to a shimano Vanford 3000. Standard braid is 20lb Schneider but I drop to 15lb in open water to achieve longer casts. Leader is 30-50lb Schneider fluro depending on size of soft plastic and fish. Hope that’s useful mate thanks for asking. Catch ya 🎣

Key to barra is understanding their habits. Some call them lazy but I prefer instinctive and energy efficient. In really simple terms... ingnore the time of day, work out what they are feeding on, and then where and when their food source will come to them. Do that and you'll catch'em. 🎣

Thanks for the support mate and great to hear ya like the vid. Great fishing options in Oz… particularly in the northern half. You still wet a line I hope 🎣

@@sportfishingjunkie of course we catch a good variety here at home

Thanks mate… 🎣😎

Not for surface... I prefer EWG hook and if I need a little weight I tie a small ball sinker in loop knot. 🎣

Hey mate... with an unweighted TT 6/0 chinlockz EWG hook mate. 5/0 is a good size but I like the 6/0 for a bit more strength. I use a bit if thin copper wire to bridle the chin so it doesn't slide around. 🎣🎣

Was that a dubble stinger hook? What hook id number looked like tinned hook

Yes… I’m involved in a tagging & monitoring program so all the fish I release get a pink tag. 🎣

Thanks mate glad you enjoyed it 🎣
