First Mulloway
Its hardly worthy of a post but I am pretty bloody happy with myself.
I got down to Floreat Drain at 7.30 tonight. Not a car or fisherman in sight. Headed down to the beach. It was too dark to read the conditions so just perched myself next to the drain. Fished for 1.5 hours for not even a bite and then caught a 34cm trumpeter. Bummer...but it was the biggest trumpeter I have ever caught. Fished for another hour and then threw my three empties in the bin, packed up the rod holder and told myself one more cast. Boom a 48 cm tailor. Next cast caught a 52cm soapie. A few more bites after that then headed home at 10.30pm a happy man.
I realise it is not really worth a mention; but after hours upon hours of fishing for nought mulloway, I was pretty chuffed.

Gotta love the lucky last cast ey! Good stuff mate, dd you keep the fish or release?
The art of fishing consists of casting, winding, trolling and jigging
while freezing, sweating, swatting and swearing.

Well done.
Perhaps this is the start of a good season. Did you corilate the catch with tide time and moon phase? Look forward to your next post.

Super Peg - first mulloway, never eaten one, so I kept. Dinner tonight!
Petervb - No weed at all. Banks are shallow. Need to be out more than 50 meters to get into some deeper water.
Osprey - Good point. It was 20 minutes shy of high tide and ten minutes before the almost full moon poked its head over the dunes.

Mulie
Just a mulie, however recently I have had inclination to fish with sanmar. A great bait that doesn't get decimated by pickers.
