Went fishing last night in the harbour, had four rods in the water, and got about 6 runs, drags were all set loose so that there was no tension when the mulloway got the food to run, runs were short only lasted about 3 seconds then stop, then Afew minutes later same rod goes off for another 3 seconds, tried leaving them but the runs wernt lasting long enough, so on the next few tried striking and still didn't work seems to just pull the bait out of there mouths, what could of been the problem? Small juvenile mulloway? Or..?
Also just want to get some feedback on the how the rest of you guys do it? I fish land based so leaving the drag tight wouldn't be a good idea, also that I hear any tension on the bait and the mulloway will spit the bait back out..
Cheers
