Our peak barramundi-fishing time is fast approaching: the 'run-off' at the end of the wet season, when the inundated coastal floodplains begin to drain into the big tidal rivers and fish movement increases dramatically.

Meanwhile, I have had to content myself with a few small harbour-fish up to 60cm taken during my lunch-break just in front of my workplace. Bagged another one yesterday, 59cm, using the fabled blue and white small-bib Nilsmaster 'Stalwart' of course!

Look forward to hearing a few cod-fishing war-stories in the coming weeks, foxfire!
