Booma 1,360 Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 In the salt I wanna crack my first Mully,Fresh water wise my goals are a 45cm+ Redfin, 80cm+ Carp, and something I am really keen to have a crack at is getting all five targetable species in the Torrens in one day (Redfin, Carp, Rainbow Trout, Brown Trout and Catfish) 4THALOVE 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FishnSnags 0 Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 1m+ mully has been my goal for the last :c 15years, so this year my goals have changed. Lures probably get used more than bait so my goals are to beat my lure caught PBs on snaps (67cm+) and mullys (70cm+) A kingfish of any size should also be a goal not a dream but will need to travel as that probably wont happen localy.

GDK 0 Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 spent 20 years over on the west coast and caught some monster mullies, giant reds, tonnes of tuna, massive bream, hand fed bronzies off the beach (gunyah) caught a few big ones off the shore as well, metre long flathead, xos salmon, kg's and yellowfin, monster kingfish, abalone, crayfish up to 5kg. basically you name it....In fact, it got pretty boring - whatever I wanted over there I just went and targeted it....Took a long time to get to that point but yeh....I'm loving the fact that I now have to start learning again - seasons, tides, baits, locations, migratory paths, barometric pressure, light etc. I am hunting again!!!! and not just going out to catch a fish.....I'm definately getting to know the mouth region and salt creek and my goal for this season is to crack the monster mullie (70lb and up) code down there....Seen all the photos at the salt creek roadhouse so they are there....I think I get more out of it when I know a "plan" has come together.... 4THALOVE and urhookedfish 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

piratepom 3,197 Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Nice topic Southie, makes for a good read. With sporting commitments ending soon and a bit more time on my hands, I'm looking forward to just getting out land based and wetting a line , any fish are a bonus. :woohoo: The number 1 target I have is a legal size, metro, land based Snapper caught on a soft plastic.

Piranha 76 Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 The redneck jumped overboard Goals hey, a 60lb mully and 1m kingy off the beach, and a bag of 2kg redfin with a 10lb trout as by-catch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimbojames 285 Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 I just want that metre plus mully . Preferred from the onk but would like to hit the port up a bit more this season . Already scored some good firsts over winter and am very happy with that and if i better the PB's that would be a bonus . A good sized snapper from the mully magnet would be nice but to get that mully might take a bit of my time up tho . Off to get some fibre glass , resin and paint so i can finish the goal im on , Making over the mully magnet . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
