On average,the Barramundi here are between 500g-1kg for a good table size fish.
We started out with cheap market dead grey prawns $1/100g.got them at 6am and the freshness is legit.
we kept them on ice in a styrofoam box to keep them cool and fresh throughout the few hours we were there.
so we noted the best time to fish based on the tide information provided by the NEA website. the tide was low at 11am with the tide coming in and of course drawing the fishes in!
First few cast and we already got some cardinal and croaker fish. After 12pm, the night was quiet with a few nibbles on the line by the pesky glassfish. As the night went on,more and more people settled at the bridge as well with at least 6 rod(or more) in the water. All casting at the wrong areas that's when the advantage comes in for us and being seasoned to the place we knew where the fishes lurk(sorry cant review. you have to try it yourself)
Pass 1AM and we were all ready to call it a night but had decided to give it one last cast anyway!after casting we gathered our stuff and started to pack and clean up the area thats when we heard someone shout "Bro!your rod!!" and to our surprise it was Jerome's rod! heh heh heh!
it had a big take with the rod bending hard and the rod nearly going over the edge. The fish took out some line before surfacing and of course it was a Barramundi!Then again that's the only fish that could hit so hard on the line for this area. Weighing in at 1.2kg!
i wear a size 9 pair of slippers if you're wondering so that's quite a long fish. it was quite bruised on the sides and the tail was bleeding probably from a fight with another fish earlier in the day.Regardless of that,it was still a strong and healthy barra!
So confident of not landing a fish today,we didn't even bring plastic bags but thankfully we still had the styrofoam box!
First fish caught must always share with the family!
with that we'll see him in 3 months!have fun and we'll be back for for Kim Bak Lor!
Cheers
