I hope these tips increase your chance of catching Barramundi on Baits. In my previous article I gave tips on catching Barramundi on Surface lures. The response was so good , I have decided to write this Article.
Tip No1. Methods for Catching Live Bait
In my experience the baits I found extremely successful were Live Baits, These were obtained using a cast net or handline. All good Fishing and tackle shops have a good range of these.
Tip No 2. Looking for a good spot to catch your bait.
Steps in looking for a good spot to catch bait vary but the most success I have had is in areas where there is not to many snags to damage your net. There's nothing worse than arriving at a spot to only find the very first cast with your castnet lands on a snag and rips your castnet to pieces, sometimes that can be the end of your day of Fishing before it even starts.
Tip No 3. Arriving at your Fishing Spot.
So you have arrived at your fishing spot and you have evaluated your options, In the North of Australia. Saltwater Crocodiles are quiet common in these places, so its good to keep an eye out for any potential threats before you start. Splashing your castnet in the water can attract Large Saltwater Crocodile that have no fear of man, but generally the small ones are scared off.
Tip No 4. Catching Bait
Its a good tip to bring a bag of Chicken layer pellets or a loaf of Bread with you, as this can attract the local bait that the Barramundi may be feeding on. Just throw a couple of hands full of Layer pellets into the water, or Rip a couple of slices of bread in the water. It generally a good idea to wait for five to ten minutes before casting your castnet.
Tip No 5. What Bait will I catch
The bait you generally catch varies but in my experience. Most commonly caught are Mullet, Popeye Mullet, Cheribin (Giant Prawn), Striped Perch , Boney Bream, Tarpon or Archer fish are the most common.
Tip No 6. So you have some bait.
You have just casted your castnet into some pristine water and to your amazement your castnet is full of mullet and Cheribin. You will need a bucket with a lid and a livebait pump to ensure there survival. Using the water where you catch them is important in keeping them alive. A battery operated livebait pump is really handy in keeping your bait alive for extended periods.
Tip No 7. What Lines and hooks to use and setup.
Quality gear is premium. New Number 8 to 10 hooks. Mono Line 80lb to 100lb is advisable for handlines.
Handlines rigged with a bubble float to a sqivel. One metre under the surface is advisable as Barramundi are always looking for fish above them as they stalk them in the depths. I have found this method very good as you don't lose as much tackle as fishing on the bottom. Rigging your bait through the tail is the best method so the bait can swim naturally.
Tip No 8. Fishing rods.
Premium No 8kg to 10kg fishing rods and overhead reels are advisable when fishing on the bottom with a typical river rig. Don't forget to set your drag, as you may find your rod going into the river, and in the north its not advisable to go swimming after it.
I hope these tips have been helpful in catching Barramundi on Baits.
Tight Lines and Good Luck
