Up Grey Way
A few mates and I headed up past wedge last weekend and really enjoyed some land based fishing (outside the marine park).. After months and months of reading up and going through online posts we finally caught our first Mulloways.. Unfortunately they were pretty small but we caught a boot load of them all the same.. All up I think we caught about 9 Mulla between 45-60cm and returned them all.. couldn't seem to find thier big brother but maybe next time. Thanks heaps to anyone thats posted info on them in the past I'm sure it helped.. Anyone who's got any tips on how to catch bigger Mullaway feel free to share..
Managed to also catch a few skippy, wrasse and managed to hook some sort of shark, maybe 5ft, saw it thrashing around before it cut/snapped the line. We're definately beginners so were really happy with the day...
Anyways, this is my first post.. be gentle

Pretty neck of the woods!
Grew up that way and found theres some great camping through there. I mainly freedived but for beach fishos if you can cast out over rocky country into deeper water or through a break in the reef theres an abundance of fish to be had.
Great to see you got onto the mullas. A live bait works weel for bigger fish.

Thanks
Thanks Mate,
Just curious, how would/do you get live baits out over a reef or inbetween reefs. Do you use a slider, try and cast the live bait or kinda throw it in and wait for it to swim out?? what kind of live baits do you use?? Skippy, Tailor and what sort of size do you aim for? Sorry for all the Q's.. just keen.
Thanks again, heading back up again soon..
Cheers,

nice mate thos mullas are
nice mate thos mullas are everywhere along the coast your more than likely in the right spot for a big one my bet would have another go in 6 - 8 weeks on the high tides
use big baits every time i have gone out over the last month and a half i have caught at least half a dozen of them if not more
