Junior Landbased Entry 18kg Mulloway Narrows bridge-Flangies SOR =p
Ok we made it to the narrows around 8:20 pm where we started using dead scalies and boney herring as slab bait and soaked them well. After a few hours we tried our luck on tailor with some lures and SPs to much success, about 10 30cm-40cm Tailor and many smaller ones aswell.
I chucked out a live tailor about 30cm in size just left on the bridge where i suspected a drop off and continued to fish for tailor on SPs. At about 12:30am (rising tide) the two other fisherman with us informed me that my rod was going bezerk.. So i ran to it, slowly lifted my rod.. Waited, waited.. Then a slow run.. I tightened my drag, leaned back and closed my eyes.
30 minutes later i had landed an 18kg 130cm Mulloway.
Removed the hooks, took a few photos and bled it for home.
The rig i was using was Rovex 7500 running 30lb platil to a 60lb jinkai leader with two snelled 7/0 Gama circles.
Photos to be put up later tonight.
Thanks To original teenage for jumping in the water (shoes on) and picking up my fish :)

That's what we were waiting for
Well done Flangies. You put the whole package together - catching fresh bait and putting the time in - and you got the result.
Nice work too OT. Always good to have someone to jump in the water to grab that big fish.

Well done.
On another sour note I called past there early Monday morning and you should of seen the rubbish/beer bottles etc left behind on that side. I know there was a lot of fisherman there with rods set out till late on Sunday night. If it was from the fisherman What a disgrace.

I can say they aint my beer
I can say they aint my beer bottles :)
Still atleast they dont chuck them in the water like most dickheads do. nothing worse than broken glass and bottles to snag on. It is shamefull to see all these bottles around i mean why cant they pop them in the bin? or bag in the drinks bag for recycling.
