Sydney Mulloway 2nd May

[kingyfisher]

A mate got this in the Harbour last night.I had so few squid for bait and the tailor were biting the line so he took the risk and was rewarded!

[glen]

Im too old 4 that Glen! the tailor were chopping my precious fresh squid to bits so I switched to pillies,he stuck it out and got the schoolie of 4kg!

Glen,you already know the hard part of mulloway fishing....getting the fresh squid bait !. Use the head&guts on a large 7/0 or 8/0 Owner or Gamagatsu. Target the turn of the tide,during darkness esp if close to sunrise sunset,or near new &full moons. Most tidal Victorian rivers with deep holes near bridges or wharves with strong lights will have some jews,and right now is the time to target the big ones!

[glen]

wow that is a big hook!!!

Great fish! very jealous! I have put in 3 nights so far this year trying for a mulloway off the surf....have hooked a few fish that I thought were jewies, that turned into massive eagle rays <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':zorro:' />

Strike me lucky Chippy!

My best fishing mate is a Carpenter too !

He has never landed 1 but has lost some rippers

Poor bloke had to help me land a 25lb one a while back......I could see him slowly go green.

[fish'n'chippy]

the time that i fish for them up here the small ones are 25lb

two "secret" nights a season you get 4 each night, with an average of 2 per night

fished 6 tides last year for 12

biggest was 52lb



fishing live baits use 5/0 hooks, i only use 8/0 (or bigger) in dead baits
