FROSTONE1 66 Posted February 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 Cheers For that guys was trying for mulloway the other day and was trying to find a hole but no luck smokeykebab and Tacklebags 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SaltyFlyer 298 Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 Cheers For that guys was trying for mulloway the other day and was trying to find a hole but no luck The trick to catching Silver Ghosts, especially in West Lakes, is not to find the deepest holes..... Fish the "narrowest" parts of the lakes, as mullies travel around , and the narrower parts, give you the best opportunity ... As they, have to swim past that area ... trial and error, to find best narrow bits, but this will help you out a great deal ..... SF reelfun and Tacklebags 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
silaflex 103 Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 15 feet is the average depth it states in the video. The video also states that footy park would hold 80000..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tacklebags 404 Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 15 feet is the average depth it states in the video. The video also states that footy park would hold 80000..... Likely an estimate but did it hold more before they changed the seating format? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
smokeykebab 175 Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 Cheers For that guys was trying for mulloway the other day and was trying to find a hole but no luck Don't need holes, find where the baitfish are. Usually the well lit up areas such as bridges Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FROSTONE1 66 Posted February 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 Thanks for the advise guys it is much appreciated I think I will be getting up a little early before my first job tomorrow and going for a couple hour yak. I tried throwing some white lightning plastics at the inlet I could see the mulloway there at first light but there was also a ton of bait fish to so the mullys might have already had there feed. I also tried a couple bridges had some small hits but nothing hung on long enough to hook up. I guess it will all be persistence but hopefully I land one soon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FROSTONE1 66 Posted February 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 Also do the gate times affect there feeding habits and how do you know what times the let water in and out cheers guys Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SaltyFlyer 298 Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 Also do the gate times affect there feeding habits and how do you know what times the let water in and out cheers guys Gate times used to be in the Advertiser , not sure where ... either tides or shipping info ... At an estimate , normally outlet opens at low tide times for Port River .. As for Open times .. I would guess High Tide ... Good Luck ... SF Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FROSTONE1 66 Posted February 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Cheers guys I went out this morning at 5 but had no luck partly due to the fact that there was about 20 raceing kayaks tearing past I though I was early enough to beat them there but apparently not oh well I'll try again tomorrow morning Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ghostfisher 36 Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 they normally start a bit before 6am an back off a bit round 9-10ish in morn...(prime morning time) I prefer doin late arvo into the wee hours of the mornin..mainly to avoid most of the local rowers an good percentage of fellow fishos..

Great video. Union officials and OHS reps would have a fit now watching what went on at constructions sites in those days. Love the flares and shirts too. Funny how rolled curbs were such an innovation back in those days.... reelfun, O2Catch1 and Tacklebags 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FROSTONE1 66 Posted March 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 Can you fish just one day of the comp or is it Saturday and Sunday Quote Link to post Share on other sites
smokeykebab 175 Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 I think u just need to register on Saturday get ur angler number catch a mully and send in a pic of it on the brag mat with ur angler number. U can stop fishing at any time. But 2pm sunday is the cut off time for the comp. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
smokeykebab 175 Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 Just go on the mully mayhem fishing series page on fb more info on there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
