mully man

Have used circle hooks for mulloway and have had an exceptional hookup rate by just pinning the fish through the lip with a single hook- no stinger necessary. I now fish for mulloway with my reels set in gear and find that the fish pretty much hook themselves (providing your rod holders are strong enough)this includes fish taken from surf beaches and from the boat in the port river. Remember a mulloway doesnt have hands to 'play' with a bait if it hits a bait, it's hit it with its mouth. I used to miss a lot of fish that 'dropped' the bait after allowing the fish to run for a while in freespool, since fishing the reels in gear my hookup rate has improved ten-fold. I also lip hook my baits as I believe the fish swallow them headfirst and the further down my hook goes the more chance I have of a positive hookup! A reason that fish sometimes fumble a large livebait is that small mulloway (anything under 10-12lb) will attack a big bait but have trouble getting it down whereas a larger fish will give a much more positive strike. Just my thoughts.

Just remember guys to make sure your rod is secured in a good holder whilst fishing in gear (can be hard in land based possies like westlakes,onka etc.)- otherwise it could become a costly experiment. Jack i hope that your quest to nail the big one goes well every little bit of informastion helped me in the early years and you soon come to realise that you never stop learning.
