Hillarys New Boardwalk
Submitted by tango and cash on Wed, 2008-10-08 12:50
Went down to the new Boardwalk at Hillarys two nights ago for a fish with my new gear. It was teaming with good sized Mullet that went crazy for the Burley I had made up (thanks for all the advice guys). After about an hour I started getting some Bream and Yellowtail. All good fun on light gear.
There were also some real big Whiting cruising the shallows in and out of the light but my limited skills meant they cruised past my bait laughing to each other
. Oh well, I'm learning.
For those that have not been there it's really well lit and seems to be a fish magnet. I heard your not supposed to fish on the actual Boardwalk but I didn't see any signs

Here is an old mullet bait recipe my brother and I used to use
Mix up some flower, water, cotton wool and garlic mince into a really doughy texture. Throw some bits of bread out to the mullet and when they come around make a ball of the dough mixture and drop it in amongst them on a small hook. You can either use a pencil float or if you are fishing from the boardwalk, you could probably drop it in unweighted.

youd think with more exposure to things such as burley and discarded bait they will get worse hey
