Great way to start the weekend
Hey fellas this is my first post on FW, thought id contribute a little after years of just reading.
Went for a bash friday night just gone after checking out seabreeze earlier in the day and noticing new moon and the drop in the wind come night time. Went to the local tackle store to pick up some mulies and was told not to bother with all the weed that was around from the horrible conditions earlier in the week. Never the less we decided to give it a crack.
Plenty of weed still around but we found a decent hole that seemed to be at least half weed free so we set up for the long haul. Not long after dark my irish mate landed his first ever fish (literally) a 50cm tailor, he was stoked to say the least especially after telling me whilst bringing it in that it was just a clump of weed which i thought was strange as weed doesnt normally have head shakes. Not long after another lad pulled one in that went just short of 50cm which brought us to two good tailor which was a start for the mulla baits as irish wasnt going to part with his.
Things went a bit quiet for an hour then me bro in law was on. Screaming and calling it for a mulla he brought it in to find it was a healthy 60cm tailor and a fat one at that plus a PB to add a plus. With an hour or so till high tide we changed from ganged to snelled hooks and some fresh tailor for bait and started chumming up every 10 min or so with the left over mulies. Half an hour from high tide my brother in law was on again and this time his call of mulla was spot on. After a reasonably short battle (for mulla) he had landed his first ever mulloway (or first decent mulla). Would have gone close to a meter and maybe 8-10 or so kgs (just a guess) but as it took so long to retreive the hooks from its gob we had just enough time to get a few crappy pics with the phone then released it with out weighing or measuring. Nothing like sending a big fish back home to get bigger. Not much action after that until an hour later when i landed a small (50-60cm) soapy mulla which i guess was better than nothing.
That capped off what i thought was a great nights metro fishing even with the occasional 20kg weed clump to contend with! Just goes to show that its worth putting in the effort sometimes even when conditions are shthous.
Thats about it guys, posted the photos of the 60cm tailor and the bigger mulla tho theyre not the best pics

Makes the "cracking the Mulla code" seem easy. And a photo is better than no photo. Appreciate it and thanks for sharing.

When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:
n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or
n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.
