Floreat Drain
Submitted by plogs on Sun, 2013-06-23 11:06
Hi Guys,
Went fishing at Floreat Drain this morning and something hit my mulie that I had soaking. Anyway, after some excitement, I reeled in this. Can anyone identify this for me, is it a Mulloway? Was completely stoked as it's my first decent fish that I have caught. I was jumping around and shouting 'Yeeesssssssss'......luckiliy was on my own :)
By the way, didn't have a tape measure with me but when I got home I measured my knife at 30cm. Fish was returned to the ocean.

Yup, that's a nice little mulloway, about 70cm I would guess if your knife is 30cm. Congratulations, great way to kick off your beach fishing career.
Just because I smile & nod does not mean I believe the crap coming out of your mouth.
All people have the right to stupidity but some abuse the privilege.

Cool as, well done, as said, good on you for the release, but more so on the capture. Not a frequently caught fish by anglers so congrats, beaut first 'decent' fish, you could contribute to this now.... http://fishwrecked.com/forum/whats-fish-hooked-you
I am, as I've said, merely competent. But in an age of incompetence, that makes me extraordinary.

Same spot I got my first decent tailor 20 odd years ago on the advice of the sandgroper's guide. Not really comparable to that fish though
