Awesome fish nice work

Sorry that sounded bit harsh,All im saying is that different results require different actions. If ya spot hasnt produced consistently for years it probably wont, try somewhere else.Yes theres something special about the grey ghost but Mullies are just a fish, theres heaps of em. Study em properly listen to those with the runs on the board, and do what they tell ya.You'll go from never seeing em to nailing many per session. Next few months are usually a pretty good time of year. I wont wish ya luck, you wont need it you'll earn em

How can you expect better results when you keep doing the same thing. If you just keep putting in the time without learning you are wasting your time. Your just hoping to ass one doing the same thing. All fishing is like learning the combination to a safe. Once you know the combination you can open it when ever you want.

Great work Big T,

Some of you blokes crack me up, you get an idea in your head and well .................The cost of two GFC trips, $500.00One snapper trip out wide in your own boat may cost $50.00 fuel $25.00 bait, $25.00 burley.......... Some will cost way more others might do it on the cheap ...Is it worth $500.00 for someone to teach you their way of bagging out often enough within a few kms from shore from a small tinny ?I think it is Your already a snapper king onya, dont go. You struggle to catch legal fish and need some assistance. $500.00 is not a huge outlay. Personally I dont have $500.00 laying

There are blokes on here: that want to poach, they suck up and then hit and run. There are blokes on here:that want to sell theirs and their mates stuff. They bag anything that doesnt fit their agenda. They push their product for coin.There are blokes on here: who want to feel like heroes, often it makes them feel like a big man by putting others down. To them its like kids in the schoolyard

Outer harbour breakwall first light might be worth a go.Headin out in the cold dark morning you want to be keen.RE : What a crock................You guys must be pretty good snapper fishos, I'm obviously not as good as you blokes, you must know a lot about snapper. Me .............. I'm always eager to learn something more. Maybe you blokes should run a course and teach the rest of us wannabees.

I dont know, You can always learn something, whats he charge $500.00Thats 2 charter fishing trips, If you bag out 3 times on his knowledge u got your money back.If you bag out for years to come ???

You blokes all work for tackle shops or something, Throwing lures around will beat fresh squid for mullies ? :dry: ok

Fresh squid

Thx RN unfortunately it was in the days b4 digital cameras and b4 I started taking pictures of my fish. Ur right Hoopsy next best is 46cm off semaphore.

emu bay ;)Ganged 4/0s whole pilly, thought I had a mully, would've been legal if its was

76cm

The kids success off course, but personally............Heading out in a leaking ten foot bondwood boat, forgot the oars had to use sticks. Much to the amusement of some gun fishos in their extravagant craft. We then proceeded to absolutely cane them. They shortly departed and so did their condescending smirks.

I recall a pisa survey that showed the snapper in each gulf pretty much never leave their own gulf.I'm sure if someone knows different they'll soon let us know

About 20 years or so ago a mate and I used to fish a lot for bream and mullies on lures with reasonable success.The trick for us was that many of the larger specimens used to really hug the snags. B4 the days of fluro carbon the leviathon specimens would not accept anything above 4lb line. But with 4 lb line u couldnt remove them from their haunts, here lied the challenge. If it gives u joy and gives u a reason to get out and active, terrific, good onya for getting out and participating as apposed to knockin those that do.

Howdy Shaun Norma wreck, Semi reef for some tasty whiting.The old squidlers do alright thru the winter too

Great work Darren,

Fished for nothing else for some time exclusively in the Pt River. The low tide that sat between 11.30 and about 12.30 was a ripper tide to fish. In my log the 11.30 low tide was almost a certainty of capture, often multiple.I only fish the 11.30 low tide for about 45mins b4 low and about an hour after run up thats it, usually got one.April and May where my most succesful months by far.U put in the time around those tides in those months if your spots half decent YOU WILL GET ONE.I rarely fished for mullies at night or during the summer but,.......Friends of mine used to fish nights in summer

Id better add ............ The advice I'm offering is assuming your fishing from a boat, land based is a different ball game.

I only fish for them on the turn, not a lot of movement so it gets down ok. My mully fishn consists of about 2 hrs max. After that I do other stuff.Anything naturally moving with the current will get nailed for more readily than anything unnaturally glued to the deck.I once had 2 x 20 lb fish race to the surface and SMASH a sambo that went airborne and got nailed as soon as it landed back in the water. AWESOME STUFFTrust me no way a salmon will ever outgun a mully especially not with a trace slowing it down. If you find a decent hole in any river system at low tide the mullies got no where els

It depends, If you are fishing the deeper holes in the barker its the best, free swimming sambo AWESOME ! Mullies will come up and take em off the surface.If fishing the main body of the port river where its almost 40ft and you are using salmon u need long running rig about 1 or 2 m off the bottom. If your using trumpeters or bream they will naturally dive for the bottom and free swimming is ok. Fillets are best free drifting too, get them down deep and then drift at the same speed as the current, irresistable.

Personally Id stay away from structure whats the point in fishing for 50lbers near a bridge ????Why freeze your proverbials off only to get hung up on a pylon???Work the areas where the fish can take 50m.If fishing the edge of the channel or the deeper holes fish an hour either side of the low tide.

Anywhere along the edge of the River, drift with livies straight under you about a metre or two off the bottom.Good spots are the bend near pelican point and snapper point. The bubbles @ the new power station. All the wharfs at Outer harbour, all the bridges, sugar wharfs, adjoining slipways. Any of the deeper sections in the barker inlet and Nth Arm,Low tide is a great time to fish the deeper holes in the shallower sections of the barker. Start to come on strong in the barker around April every year, .... with the early cold snap wouldnt be suprised if they are there NOW.Late April and May ar
