The Barramundi. An addictive fish to chase, the time and effort put in between hits makes it both frustrating and satisfying at the same time. Most good ones are hit after dark, when they come into the shallows to scour for a good meal. That's when anglers put in the hours into the wee of the morning in the chase. Many days can be fruitless but others make it all worthwhile. This was one such day...
 |
| After a few quiet hours, and a couple of errant strikes this fish makes the toil worthwhile. The Evergreen Kaleido spin rod get its work cut out... |
 |
| Barramundi often suck in their prey whole, and this was what happened to the DUO Realis Jerkbait 100DR... |
 |
| Covering ground is key, so much walking is required. At another key spot this little fella climbed on... |
 |
| The DUO Realis Jerkbait 120SP sporadically twitched proved its undoing... |
 |
| These Barra can be feeding in mighty shallow water at times. This one was caught in inches deep water... |
 |
| That's when super shallow runners like the IMA iBorn 98F come into play... |
 |
| Meanwhile that slow pause and twitch techniques pays dividends with another small but nice fish... |
 |
| This time the slightly smaller DUO Realis Jerkbait 110SP strikes gold... |
 |
| In the still of the night there is nothing more jolting than a large topwater strike by a brooder size Barramundi in the shallows. This one was a classic... |
 |
| The big OSP Yamato topwater pencil replicates an injured Mullet most convincingly... |
 |
| However not all topwater strikes end up in trophy catches... |
 |
| Not shy about size at all, this Catfish struck hard at this DUO Realis Pencil 110... |
 |
| Plugging into the wee hours of morning pays off with this trophy model which went hard. Fish like this don't come easy in these parts of the woods... |
 |
| We put the new DUO Fang Bait 120SR through its paces and it paid off huge on this night... |
