plummo Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Just returned from a week down at sussex . We rented a house on the canal which had a nice pontoon with a cleaning table and seating so I figured there must be something in there. Checked in at the tackle shop for a bit of lnfo. The waters to cold and clear but the bread and butter are normally about was the reply. I had my supply of salted pillies (home salted) , supermarket prawns and some leftover hawkesbury squid. I don't do any float fishing so purchased a pencil float and some tiny hooks. I read here about the difficulty in catching the big mullet but when you see them jumping about. Anyway I gave it a go. For the week on the float I picked up my first blackfish,not big but a first is a first. Ended up with a few of them all returned, Then there were the garfish that were in abundace all caught using fresh bread with about a metre drop with two little split shot for weight. NO MULLET A mixed bag on the other rod, 2\0 circle, on 20kg braid ( that's all I had ) and a lightish leader and smallest sinker I had was 1oz pearl ( home made ). The result was a few flatties, flounder, tailor all leagal and returned a puffer and a ray. Prawns and pillies did the job with the squid getting a 0. Cheers.

Yowie Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 The big mullet would be Sea Mullet, rarely bite on bait. You would have more luck picking the winning lotto numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
