95cm Inshore Pinkie & Bag Out by 6.20pm
Big swells mean the possibility of inshore pinkies, so a good mate and I headed out of Hillarys about 4.40pm. Conditions were sloppy, as expected but the wind was low, so we slowly motored to the grounds, sounded around and picked our spot. We had lines in the water not long after 5pm.
Soon after we had a large school of yellow tail in the burley trail – it is a good sign to have baitfish in abundance around your boat. As the sun went down, we started to supplement the burley with shredded mulies and the bite started.
The first pinkie was a “cracker” at 95cm and about 9kg. It didn’t really behave like a pinkie at first being high in the water column – but this was probably because it stripped 50m of line on its first run, we were in shallow water and it was a long way away. Worked it back to the boat and there was no doubt it was a pinkie, and a nice fish.
The fish were on. We bagged out on pinkies by 6.20pm in a hectic session of constant bites – no time for the fourth photo in the dark, with a few pinkies released.
As the light really faded the “nuisance species” came in and we caught and released for a while, with the highlight being Dean’s tailor.
“Pulled the Pin” and back in before 8pm. We are so lucky to have an accessible fishery like this in our Perth metropolitan area.

Nice catch
In the movies they keep saying a dealer should never start using their own products.
In your case it's just market research hey??
Good job mate.
Sometimes when the water is quiet, you can hear the fish laughing at you !

Nice catching mate
getting the bottom line final answer from a bunch of blokes that use false names and put smiley faces at the end of paragraphs is not the best place in the world to get the information you seek.

Spot Selection
Beau, There are lots of inshore spots on the pinkie "goat track" for their dawn and dusk feeding on the light change. I studied the charts carefully before picking the likely locations. No one gave me the spot, and it was nice to see the research pay off - there are quite a few more I have identified to try this Winter. Cheers. Mick

Too right

I am, as I've said, merely competent. But in an age of incompetence, that makes me extraordinary.

There must be something in the burley you use
Great bit of fishing guys, looks like the burley works a treat.

Shredded Mulies
I reckon the shredded mulies simulate an attack on a bait school, and attract the scavengers and predators. The fish and oil mince brings fish in and the shred makes them hungry.
