Finn's mulloway 2

At the end of September, I returned to Werribee River pier in the hope of catching a mulloway.

I used yellow-tail for bait and a small mullet lure on the two rods I brought.

 The mulloway were taking the yellow-tail off the hook, much to my annoyance. I put another yellow-tail on the hook and cast it out 10m.

 I used these two lures

 The mulloway didn't like these lures - no bites. So I packed up my lure rod. Then I heard a clicking sound. It was my bite detector. I went over to reel in the line. I felt a weight on the line and set the hook. Fish on! But when I started reeling it in, the mulloway broke off. Maybe I'll catch one next time.

Mulloway are one of the hardest fish to catch.

I went to Werribee river pier to try to catch this fish.

When I wasn't looking, a Mulloway took the yellow tail bait on my stronger rod. When I turned around, my rod had been pulled into the estuary. Luckily I had brought two rods, so I started fishing with my lighter rod.

I switched to using lures to catch the Mulloway.

Bream were biting my lure but they wouldn't hook up. I tried two different lures - one hard plastic and one metal lure.

 I went home empty handed - the Mulloway were just too hard to catch here, but I had a nice time and will be back. 👦🎣
