Gatte Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Hey raiders, Headed out tonight with Belligero to find a mulloway on soft plastics. Figured if throw the Kayak on the car and fish a bit more comfortably from the water rather than land as there is limited space where we targeted. First cast... Bang! In for a great fight which turned out to be a great EP Let him swim off and was at it again a few casts later with a smaller Perch. Kept targeting the pylons from the yak while Belligero managed to land a pair of flat head which were both put back. Just as the tide turned I pulled in a flat head of my own which turned out to be quite a good size. Mine went into the keepers net to be curried by my Malaysian Chef Neighbours. Happy with my first 3 fish in the yak! Photos aren't great and we didn't get the mulloway we were looking for. No doubt we will be at it again this weekend with the full moon though.

Gatte Posted October 19, 2013 Author Share Posted October 19, 2013 Thanks guys, we will no doubt get onto one each by the end of the year. The surface action with the eps was great though, had to stop casting at them to try and get around the structure where the mulloway would have been.

svsolaris Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 What kind of bait were you using? SPs? Very slow rod action to account for the low viz? Do you reckon blades might also work in zero viz? Very curious as I also fish mostly at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatte Posted October 20, 2013 Author Share Posted October 20, 2013 (edited) What kind of bait were you using? SPs? Very slow rod action to account for the low viz? Do you reckon blades might also work in zero viz? Very curious as I also fish mostly at night.I used a z man swimmer 4 inch using two slow jerks up and a good pause after winding in the slack. Cast into bait shows and surface bites for the eps and into the pylons and let it sink right down for the crocs. Shaun was using a different kind of zman plastic with a similar technic for his two flat head.I think blades will work well but never tried them myself. Fished the same area with a mate who used a blade, it got smashed strait away but didn't hook up, using light line that broke off and cost him the lure.

Gatte Posted November 1, 2013 Author Share Posted November 1, 2013 Nice ! EP's are a "by-catch" I'm still dreaming about ! Jealous Thanks mate, Seeing them hit the surface was just too much to resist. I had to drop a few casts in there.
