Solo Busso Mulloway
Submitted by MattMiller on Tue, 2014-05-27 21:04
We've had a few quiet evenings since that last successful trip and with no one keen I thought bugger it i'll go anyway.
About half and hour after sunset one of my rods unloaded line at an alarming rate.
After a few nervous moments and a dance around my other rod the silver shine of my first solo Mulloway appeared in the light.
She came in at 122cm and was in very good condition.
Stoked to say the least.

That's awesome MattM. Looking at the Mulla post's it does appear the fishery is in good shape.

Cheers guys
Yeah don't worry, the fellas who pyked out got a call soon after.
There is always a big run of Mullas after the first front of the year.
Just need to fish the right nights, bit of a NW blow to dirty up the water
This year has seen a hell of a lot more BIG Pinkys ( seen pics of fish up to 14kg!) than usual. Not really sure why that is the case?
