luke_westlakes 4 Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 So after about a year of trying for Mullies in Westlakes I have finally caught one. He may not be huge, but he's still a mullie.It was about nine o'clock at night and my mum had just called me to tell me she was waiting for me at the inlet. I thought to my self, "another unsuccessful mully session at the lake". I started to wind in my plastic in when "WHAM". My lure just stoped, I thought i was snagged and then all of a sudden i got the biggest head shakes of my life. After about 10 minutes I finally got the mully in. Here's some pics below.

Brooksey_134 1 Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 most the mullies this year have only been small all around 45cm-80cm?last years average was just over 100cm. might be because all the mullie fishos are catching breeders and not releasing them?
