The Busso Jetty Report 31-7-13
Submitted by TheJettyRat on Wed, 2013-07-31 19:23
Not much to report this time around. Fishing on the jetty is usually very quiet at this time of year and this year is no exception. There are very little bread and butters around at the moment if you are chasing a feed of herring you will have to work for it. Although not in massive numbers squid is your best bet right now with most being caught on the second half of the jetty. A few Mulloway are hanging around but are fairly quiet if you are chasing them you may have to be willing to burn the candle at both ends. Not many live baits around so bring strip bait for the Mulloway.
That is all for now I will report back around October when things start to pick up.

@ Jetty Rat..
I recently moved to Margies and have been logging some solid nights at Busso Jetty (just past half way) targeting Mullaway..
Been throwing cali squid tubes with a mulie stuffed inside (wrapped in ghost cotton) on a 5/0-6/0 snell set up and ezi line..
Have seen a few stompers get pulled up but haven't nailed one as yet, any further tip would be much appreciated
until then..

Your rig is too complicated.
Your rig is too complicated. Use a running sz 4 bean sinker and a sz 80/ or 9/0 Tarpon hook. Just running sinker and hook keep it simple and you will catch the big ones. Just use squid heads or cut squid tubes longways in half and use half at a time. Keep it simple with Mulloway.
Mulloway have come to an end now really, the season is changing and the rays and P.J's have moved in.

Squid and cuttlefish are
Squid and cuttlefish are hanging around in good numbers now, this past week has been a corker for them, some good sizes in the mix too.
