TheDiko Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 (edited) Hey Raiders, Couldn't stand it any longer and just had to get out for a fish even if it was in a creek right next to a noisy road filled with murky brown water. Arrived down there at about 10:00am right on low tide Started throwing around some SP's along top water hoping for a Salmon or Tailor but not much around. I noticed there were still a thousands of prawns under the bridge. Tried my new rig with a prawn fly at the back but still nothing around. 10 minutes later two big Mullet came cruising out from under the bridge, forgetting to bring the bread again I thought bugger but non the less threw on a circle and a pillie tail and threw it out 5m in front of where they were swimming as not to scare them. I noticed one had a fair few scales missing and some battle scars. As they got closer the biggest Mullet did as I expected, steered clear, but the rough one took the bait with one big gulp zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz bit of fun on 6lb but nothing like if he had of been well fed, he was very skinny solving the reason why he ate pilchard. He was a touch under 1kg and will make good bait for the trip out in the boat this week. A few decent bites followed on pilchard under some pontoons and boats that surrounded the place but I was very happy with my first big mullet and in a 1 hour sesh.

Cobalt Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Greetings, That mullet would have been great fun. Pound for pound they go pretty hard and often jump. Good effort. Henry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flattieman Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Good on ya, mate. That's a sea/bully mullet - they don't regularly feed on flesh baits etc. - your theories about it being hungry are probably very true! Looks like Sylvania Waters to me... Don't they fight!
