you said it Abz, some people take years just to get a soapie, and we have seen members on here catch a monster on thier first try. 

Just keep doing what you are doing and it will happen, and then it will be all over and seem like a dream. Just make sure you get a picture and post it up, I can't wait to see the beast. 

My friends got a few about the same size up at hill river last weekend. So it does seem there are a lot around but not all are small. I got some pictures sent to me a few days ago of realy nice(aprox) 20 kg fish, all caught local from Quinns to Club Cap . 

Thanks for that mate. Defo will upload a photo once I get on to that sort of fish. 

I wonder if there's any sort of research done on mulloway behaviour and habits etc. I know they eventually swim and hunt alone as they get in the bigger sizes but it will be intresting to know more, specially if there's some type of scientific study or research. 

 I always got told they hang in pairs . 

Here is a couple this week , one from quinns and one from club cap.  I had to blank the guy's face, cause i couldn't get in contact with him to get permission to post the picks. 

I know they look like the same fish, but definately not. I have the exif data, but removed it to protect the gps data.

I thought you said you blanked the guys face haha

On mulloway in local waters. Google it - its the best research out

there on the topic. I have a copy in my office.

Not sure what bait your using but maybe try some bigger baits, you'd be suprised at the size of the baits the big ones will eat.

if you are getting soapy's.

Just have to persevere and it will change. But to get the small ones off a species means the species are responding to your presentation, and that is what you want.

I use to (when I was young) persistently mulla fish, and it took me ages to "crack" the soapy code. Then caught a few, and soon the bigger ones ended up on the line. Now I just cant be shagged spending those hours on the beach

 I Think the reason there alot of soapies around is due to the fact that earlier in the year they put i think it was 300 or more juvinelle mulloway in the swan river

600*

 Lastcast,

ill check that thesis out in google should be good.

Paul,

i usually have 3 rods in water, one gets a whole mullet, the other gets filleted tailor or watever else I may catch fresh with the fourth smaller rod and the third rod gets mullies.

zain,

I've read about the mulloway program they have going but I don't fish the river for mulloway and actually I'm nowhere near the river, not sure how many years this program has been on for but soapies I seem get are in the 60-70cm range and are not in river. 

 Thanks to grantarctic for those photos, hopefully I can hook up to a mulloway like those

 Thanks for that guys. Appreciate it. 

Ill have a read of the guide just incase there's some other bits I need to know.
