First Eshed Mulloway
Submitted by Steve911 on Wed, 2014-03-12 04:04
So i have been fishing at Eshed for the last 2 weeks for the elusive mulloway. after 42 and a bit hours last week.... ending with nothing to show. I went down to give it another go on tuesday night.
This time, with a little bit more success :)
First Mulloway. 17.5kg on the scales.
patience pays off i guess :)

Great catch mate. Been trying
Great catch mate. Been trying for my first mulloway for years now but never have had the chance to dedicate those kind of hours to the cause. Usually its just one or 2 nights every 6 months. Good to see persistence paying off, might have to show this post to the wife...

thanks man, such a thrill man. and yeah if you can get some hours down there it will pay off for sure.
watch the moon and the tide man. when the scaly's are schooling hard i reckon you have a better chance too.
