Another Good Morning
118cm 15.08kg Mulloway caught in the deep hole in the seaway this morning on 2.7kg braid on a 3" Gulp Chart/Pearl minnow. A new personal best for me, what a fish, what a fight.

Hi Rob, we were there in the seaway from about 1am til 3am. There was only one other boat in the seaway while we were there and if that was you Rob, you seriously need better lights otherwise you’ll get run over by another boat. We could barely see you.
I’m surprised you got nothing on livies, what livies did you have? To be honest catching that fish was luck more than anything, we got nothing else in the seaway during that time despite the huge number of fish showing on the sounder. 9 times out of 10 livies will outfish plastics or any other lure. In the morning when we fished with livies all we managed was 1 small tailor and had a few baits mauled, it was very quiet. The only fish we saw caught was a few bream and 1 undersized jewie.

I ALSO SAW NETTERS WORKING AROUND THE INSIDE OF WAVEBREAK BEFORE DARK ON TUESDAY. AND AGAIN AT 11AM WEDNESDAY .THAT DIDNT HELP EITHER. ALSO THERE WAS NO BAIT AS YOU COMMENT ON IN YOUR POST. I PUT A LOT OF TIME AND EFFORT TO CATCH FISH THIS TIME BUT THATS FISHING. REGARDS ROB

Rob, I’ve used live gar back when I was rock fishing and they worked fine on tailor, so there’s no reason they wouldn’t work in the seaway as well, it was just a tough night in the seaway. I may have pulled one good fish but that was all. The netters will be around until about september when they bugger off and go rape another area, until then we just have to put up with them.

Nice jew Craig, nothing better than catching a PB. The fishing has been tough, I got out Friday afternoon on the last of the run in like we discussed and fished yakkas for zip. Didn’t even loose a bait, there were 3 other boats and we were all doing the drift from the the mouth along the north wall and the runway and they were all using plastics and nothing was landed. Not sure about you but it appears the fishing is very slow considering all the rain and the extra long and productive prawn season we had. I understand we have good and not so good trips but I seem to be stuck in a serious drought, so well done on your catch and I hope some of your luck heads my way.

The seaway is fishing a bit tough at the moment Shane. The only advice I can give you is not to waste time in unproductive spots. I rarely spend any more than 20 minutes at any one location fishing any one technique if I don’t catch any fish. Fishing the last hour of the runin is important at the north wall but if the fish aren’t in a feeding mood you’ll know straight away. If they aren’t interested look elsewhere.. go shallow.. go deep. There’s plenty of options to try and places to look.
