Well done mate!!!!  You'll always remember the first!!!

You had a plan, put in the hard yards, time spent bait gathering, then fishing cold fish less nights no doubt and finally achieved the result you desired.  I have a lot of respect for those who keep persisting and dedicating their fishing time for mulloway.  

Out of curiousity, how much time have you spent specifically targeting mulloway before your first?  PM me if necessary.

My quest began 11 years ago and I still learn something every time.  It does get easier.......especially handy to have a diary for this species.

Again, awesome mate, just awesome!!

Thanks mate. Honestly on and off for years but for the last 6 months I have dedicated 90% of our fishing to Jews  and I generally would fish once or twice a week, got plenty of by catch in those times. 
 

Happy with the result last night though and i have learnt every trip. Been using live and fresh bait for about 2 months, made all the difference.

Congratulations, fresh bait does the trick. Have you butterflied the Yakka?

 

Yakka was whole, i have tried butterflied off the beach but they always end up a mess.

Nice mate, cant beat fishing with kids, we haven't fished that spot yet might have to give it a crack.

Me and my son have been chasing a jew for a while now and last night it all came together.

A good high tide was at 8:45pm so we planned to be on the beach at 7pm, collected fresh Yakkas from Kiama harbour and headed up to the beach. Using 30 pound fluorocarbon leader with 2 snelled hook rig, we threw a whole yakka out and boom first cast my son nailed his first jew, great fight too. 

This will be a night we will never forget, we have both spent many nights chasing a jew coming home empty handed, but now all feels worth it.

Is that Shellharbour North beach? I had a fish there and got some nice Whiting, no Bream though. Going worming this afternoon with the grandkids on Warilla beach.

Yes that's North beach, was a heap of weed out which made things difficult.

good luck mate.

Had a quick fish with the kids yesterday at my local Shellharbour beach using worms, ended up with a few nice bream for the table, cant beat fishing with the kids!
