mullet can be a bit hard to hook sometimes but a rig that works is tie a large dropper in 2kg line cut it tie on 2 fly hooks 1each on the tag ends use a bubble float a only a shallow depth just bellow the surface burly with bread and with a doughy mix of fresh bread used for bait use fresh bread because it wont need to be mixed with water use only the tinyest ball and pinch it just on the barb an as the mullet takes the float wait till the bow in the line straightens swiftly strike at it have only the smallest splitshot because a bubble float can be 1/2 filled withwater and used as acasting weight and this method should work for you but mullet can be made to take a bread fly aswell but someone else can explain that as I dont flyfish alot good luck in your pursuit of the sometimes elusive mullet and let us know how you go so I might come get some for my marlin baits.Dont forget to go were the fish will be I'm sure you are aware of this as mullet can normally be sighted if you can see the fish that would be an appropriate place to wet a line as long the tide isnt to fast then fish upto and after the ebbs as per normal with most estuarine fishing the ebbs are the times to fish.Cheers anyway Emu

It is with interest reading through this forum I find that there are people with the sound knowledge who do question the basis of some if not all marine parks.I'm not a university scholar but with observing the antics of the previous few weeks including voter backlash on the weekend that the power in state at this moment is experiencing a flutter of termoil that today has been echoed by our own Mr Rudd telling them to get thier act together.What I'm saying is we all know it was a fiasco based on add hoc hear say research that overlooked real problems that actually do exist as I told you I'm no scholar but there are real dire straights in our marine world and I am of the belief we the people have been decieved by these powers to be and I'd like to bring into question all thier decisions that would bring to light the misrepresentation of tax payers monies that has already happend.The state used make believe in some sort of fairy tale as a basis and nothing really as we know it to well stopped it from happening and I'm plain dumbfounded by it all again raising the question of these so called sanctuaries how did they come into been to start with so what my point is wer've had the wool pulled over our eyes by these people and unfortunate to us fisho's is the average consituant of this state dosn't know otherwise or didn't know otherwise but I hope the worm will turn next time around as more people see the light and hopefully we can all live happilly ever after!!!!!!?

You've not said what circumstances that you'll be fishing but if this is for the boat you told us about you really only need one I'd say and I'd go for the one that would retrieve quickest Penn made them also and they are detachable they all detachable but I dont like using them for live baiting marlin myself because I think they can be a hinderence with tangles and problems with keeping on a bait school but that is me and someone else might say otherwise.Come fishing with us and see how we do it .Regards emu

this is what happens when environmental nutters get taken note off .These people are more detrimental to the ecosytem than they are good take note off this as we have witnessed what ther've done here already with thier ad hoc hear say that formed a basis to make marine parks . Catch and release is our fishing future in this country and this is a prime case of absurbed ludicry unfortunaly the everyday person dosn't know otherwise when it comes to the polling booth and this has incringed myself to see what has happened already to see the deception gone on they don't have one iota with the maritime ecosytem and they are failing as we speak to address genuine problems that count and would make a real difference to our oceans.But unfortune to us fisher's wer've had the wool pulled over our eyes already and I see it happening again untill we have a goverment that ignores the green extreme and takes note of problems that really do exist and not a made up fairy tale we don't have buckly's.

I've used opposed snells with sucess with 5 turns in the braid 4 in other don't pull them up that tight untill the knots are formed and firm against other even then be carefull pulling it to tight and bur the braid with a lighter as fraid tag end will work into the knot causing it tocome apart and fail oposed nail knot is the same and can be tied with aneedle I've used these knots inthe lightest and heaviest to 200Lb braid.A problem people have with braid is pulling it up too tight dont pull it up that much it will cut through your leader then you should be alright

the last time the dam flooded over was sept97(11yrago) considering that is longer than atrouts life span I have worries about stocks in thelake itself if you want to spend 2days trudging1/2way between katoomba &Mittagong you might catch something but not what they was like in the past when it rained consistenly when the trout would enter the feeder streams to spawn.If you want a good bush walk mind the snakes even in the cold they are about still and the wild cattle and brumbies and don't forget the lithgow panther Oh and $10000 find is on the cards if found inside the exclusion zone so don't go there

throw something at them to wake them like rocks you might do better next time
