NOR Mulloway
Went out on Thursday night with a mate for a beach session (ballpark South of Hillarys, North of City Beach 
).
Went to pick up some bait and the tackle shop was suffering from small Mulie syndrome so I decided to go for the Scalie Mackerel option, seems like it was a good call.
Got to the beachabout 7pm wind was howling SSWish and waves where fairly pumping in.
Sent out a paternoster with a scalie on. Within 20-30 mins caught my first ever Mulloway, read 480mm on the tape and was sent back home.
Chucked a few more baits out, where either getting snaffled or destroyed by the swell.
I left a bait out and went to talk to my mate down the beach. As I was walking back noticed rod was no longer sitting in PVC pipe, looked towards the water and it was in the whitewash making it's way out to Rotto. Pulled it in and this was attached. This was about 8pm.
I know its not the biggest (640mm) and usually won't keep fish, hence the name, but my neighbour was promised any catch from the night and I've been targetting a Mulla for a while to no avail so I needed a photo record.
Anyone chasing the species it may be worth a crack in the North Metro area. 2 Mulloway in 1 hr, one sized, left the beach by 9:15 with a decent fish.

I have been getting a few on
I have been getting a few on lures, none bigger than 41 though. My mate caught one about 6kg the other week though so there is a few bigger fish around.
They look awesome at that size, well done bud
