Typical EShed

 Hi guys,

 

thought I would give a quick report....Eshed is fishing really bad...there are heaps of snags close in and not big runs to report.

 

after last years mulls way season and odd tuna things have gone very quiet. There are reports of smallish mulloway being caught up to about 12 kg.

 

personally I have spent hours and hours fishing. This year very unproductive. So decided to try a new spot where a mate had caught a 25kg mulloway. He bought a Kmart rod worth $30 and landed 4 45cm tailor, three flat head and the monstor mulloway.all on gangs and Mulies. In two session I caught to size pinkies at 51 and 55 cm heaps of tailor and flat head....couple of big chunks taken out of tailor being live baited....all in all way better fishing experience than e shed

I generally think ppl under estimate Mullies and I know of many big fish being caught up river at the moment. It seems like they have not pushed down river yet in any great numbers. Give last year was so productive I'm wondering if pulling up 20-30 from Estes last year has actually impacted river stocks...

the good news at Eshed that a lot of the young clowns have moved on. More families down there which is nice to see. I Hear they ate all ballooning for sharks at he moment...lol...

Anyhow I gues one of my point is I'd rather catch some fish hen no fish and frankly catching scales doesn't do it for me....

 

anyone else heard or more importantly seen any fish being landed. Obviously don't post locations just want to know if its just me.

 I think i know exactly where and when that 25kg job was caught ;)
Heard about the K-Mart job off the beach. Funny stuff when i heard about it. 

Though off there, the mullas will stop running shortly and its hit n miss with sharks/rays occasionally.

 Nice hint..not...;)

interestingly morning fishing rising tied I find producing better than the turn of the high to low. Low to high good also....anytime of day... The first mulla caught that I know of during the day in the last couple of months....

anyhow have tried to up load photos but they just hang during upload cant get the up. Not sure what I'm doing wrong

Yep, I also think the last

Yep, I also think the last 'run' of big mullas there (at the museum end) has contributed to less catches this season, I went 10 times over a couple of months a personally seen 7 croakers caught, none of which I caught which sucked, on two occasions by some one fishing next to me which sucked even more
