Using a scalies colin, but when i gutted him he had a couple of small tailor n a heap of whitebait..ill set down a tailor next time!

felt really bad keeping him but what can u do, he was all but dead when they hit the surface from 20m, they go pretty bloody hard...none will go to waste thats for sure!

Nice fish mate

Mon, 2008-02-25 16:43

How long was the fight? Are you going to keep the two little bones inside the head?

 

Caught one either last year or the year before that on swanfish night, didn't even know it was on until these two guys who was in it told me. Wouldn't of taken out the prize anyway as was told that there was one mulloway at 16kg, mine bottom out on the scales at 10kg that belong to these two guys.

Plenty more too come and very suprise that it was on a full moon, well guest you proven to people that even on a full moon you can still catch one :), guess this spot will be kept quiet....:)

 

Well done mate.

Its meant to be good for mulloway on a full moon, thats why we stayed the night!

fight was 5mins or so...1st run was a screamer then i think that buggered him..did another good run then just massive head shakes in typical fashion of a mulloway!

there were 3 others landed so full moon must be orite..dont quote me on that theory though!

yeh matt, can get pretty boring waiting n waiting but once u hook up its on like donkey kongs..plenty of beer is consumed while waiting which is alway a positive 

cheers

yeh its always a good night

Mon, 2008-02-25 18:28

yeh its always a good night no matter what!...they should be around for the next couple of months..just pick a couple of days in a row with warm weather and a full moon (always have had runs on full moons) and 2 hrs b4 and 2 hrs after high tide u should be in for a shot! theres always plenty of tailor to keep u satisfied
