Catching Barramundi on Topwater... how to 'Trigger' a Reaction Bite

Рет қаралды 4,540

Topwater is an addictive way to target barramundi... but sometimes getting them to eat can be tricky and frustrating!
In this video we take a look at the number one strategy I use to 'trigger' a fussy barramundi into eating frog style soft plastic lures... in this case a specially rigged Zman Billy Goat.
And of course there's also some great topwater barramundi action.
It's only an addiction if you want to give it up... Catch Ya!

How have you attached the treble

G’day Shane… there’s a split ring that joins the eye of the jighead with the treble stinger mate. Just gotta make sure everything still moved as freely as possible so I carry all different sizes of split rings to match jigheads & trebles. 🎣

Works well but it has its limits. If you have a strong cross current for example it can turn the plating on its side. Just gotta do a little trial & error mate 🎣

It's funny, during low light and through the night I've had lot's of success on poppers and fizzer with real long pauses, like 5 seconds or longer. I don't disagree with you at all for this type of surface fishing you're doing here. I haven't done much frogging at all, but it makes sense what you're saying.

Mate I’m with you… like a lot of others I put all topwater into the low light ‘box’ until a few years back. So last year I set myself a goal of 100 Barra & 100 jacks to topwater and achieved it in under 9 months. Learnt a hell of a lot including that topwater could be used at anytime of the day and in any type of light. And absolutely… with a different type of lure I’d use different retrieves. With the crossfires (bent minnow style) I’ll pause for up to a 20 count to get them to react… might have to do a video on that 🤔😁. Thanks for the comment… appreciate it… 🎣😎
