Wellzy94 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 (edited) Hey there! Long time reader, first time poster. Im going out for an overnight at the end of June for hairtail, but during the day I'll be chasing bream + flathead. Before then I'm hoping to get a hold of some mullet to fillet and freeze as bait, and I was hoping to try and get some pointers for rigs and landbased spots. Anyone able to help a newbie out? Edit: Forgot to add, I'm in the Penrith area. Was planning to drive to somewhere on the Hawkesbury for the mullet! Edit 2: would I be better off just going freshwater for them?

fishinaddiction Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I havent had much success But small hooks on a float with tiny pieces of bread are usually the way to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deekay87 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Milperra under the bridge where the main intersection is. If yout coming from liverpool way its the street after the bp servo on the left before the henry lawson drive. Also all up and down georges is good for mullet bearly with bread and you will see them everywhere. Another good spot is narrabeen lagoon Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
