Murray river pinjarra
been fishing the Murray around the Ravenswood hotel and the last few times I've been I've been smoked 4 or 5 times by something that cant be stopped. I've tried using a heavy 50lb boat rod setup but nothing wants a sniff but as soon as u put out the light bream gear. these things come out and play. I've landed a couple mullaway between 550-700 on the bream gear at the same spot but these are massive and you just don't have a chance. I was thinking they could be stingrays but I'm not sure. Has anyone seen stingrays this far up river or do you think they're just big mullaway.
If they are big mullaway does anyone have a good rig that they will hit but strong enough to survive the under water structures that are in the Murray.
shut up and fish

Possible bull shark?
Just a guess who knows, if they are in the swan up as far as midland then there is no reason they can't be in the Murray

yeah ill +1 to the bullshark, if theyre in the collie and the swan...its pretty safe to say theyre in the murray.

i remember the mrs almost losing her entire outfit fishing the collie near the mouth one day. something bit picked up a small tailor and ran. the drag was set loose and it still dragged the rod and rod holder down the small beach into the water. luckily she got ahold of it in about 2ft of water but as soon as we got tension on the line it was gone...bit clean through 80lb leader
Good things come to those who bait.
