Barramundi
The secret to a successful Barramundi fishing trip is mostly being in the right place at the right time.
Barramundi fishing is very popular with sport fishers because of the Barramundi's High leaps, strong runs, and no matter how well you thought you had them hooked they still manage to throw the lure.
All in all, Barramundi fishing means thrills and action.
To experience that thrill however you have to be a bit lucky. Barramundi aren't fussy eaters. They love live bait (mullet is popular) but also will even take dead bait.
Large minnow-type lures work well in the shallows we love the Reidys B52's. Around snags lures that get down to two to four meters can be very effective and they also work well for trolling big rivers. The noisy popper or fizzer style lures work too, and are good for night fishing. What is becoming very popular with anglers here are the newer soft plastic lures, so they must be popular with the Barramundi.
The color of the lure is up to the angler. (I myself like the silver and golden ones.)
You can also go Barramundi fishing with the fly gear. Barramundi hang out in different places at different times of the year, and they are definitely more plentiful during the warmer summer months.
You need to put in a bit more effort if you want to land a big one during the dry. The colder the water the harder it gets.
