FISHING

[stork]

I'd tell you my guaranteed mullet bait but then I'd have to kill you.

Part of it is mince meat

Roo Mince, Diced Raw Chicken, Currie Powder, Semolina, Aniseed? Am i even close?

[Squids]

Diet Coke? Using diet coke to soften up berley pellets is dynamite for Mullet and St's.

The curry powder is the key. Semolina to bind the mince and keep it on the hook - at least until the first bite. I generally just use gents, but have to be alive, and/or a slow retrieve to keep 'em moving. Lot hardier than mince, so bait in the water longer = more chance of hook up.

Berley is more important I reckon. I use a mix of rabbit/chook pellets, pollard, tuna oil, curry powder & whitebait. Bit of water and a few handfuls of sand. The berley should be binded enough to squeeze into a ball, but dispurse on impact.

Generally stay away from Yorke's on the long weekends/holidays. Gonna drop the tub in locally on Sunday morning, aiming for squid & KG's, maybe a trolled up snook or two early morning, as my mate has never caught one on a lure before. See how we go.

Good luck & make sure you let us know how you go stork!

Try adding a tin of sardines to the mix.

Mash it up well with the other ingredience.

An old Dog_ger Family Secret.....

Mullet are not the preferred species,

Mullet feed off sewerage.

It is great for Tommies....

With a Beer, on a hot day.

AH... Smoked Tommies...

I am open for an invite for a fishing expedition...

Anywhere, Anytime.

I have heaps of holidays built up.

Teach me guys.

[Westsider]

Mullet do not feed off sewerage.

Not roo mince, beef mince is perfect, semolina, curry powder.

Burley definitely is the key. Mullet like to roam up and down the coast, so burley when you get there to bring them in, if they go off the bite, burley up again.

Mullet mix combined with bread for your spring sinker, and pellets to throw out.

You don't need to cast far.


If my dad reads this he's gonna kill me.

[Goat Herder]

Nice lizard mate. Geez, that's got to be the skinniest whiting I've ever seen! Must have just finished shaggin'.

My crew (3 of us) bagged on some big squid yesterday. Few 40cm tube specimens, but most 30cm+ tubes.

Enough to keep you interested stork, nice one. Were the salmon in numbers at Browns or just spasmodic?

The old seal was in there smashing the school and trying to eat my XR10 Rapala. Lures casting over the reef were pulling in consistant salmon. I left my laser lures in the car by accident. Bait fishing was steady if you landed right along side the reef. I caught a double header of 4lb Salmon (1 on popper and 1 on bait) , that was a pretty good battle.

[Squids]

I got chased my a grumpy seal at browns one time.



Nice to hear of people getting into some fish.

[beeroclock]

Got Whiting at Broughton dispite the shitty tide down there.
Also claimed a couple of marks although i may have been a pest to other anglers
Sorry

You picked your days, I drove though there today and it was very very windy.

[Dutchy]

Got out on Saturday in the boat at Port Hughes, got nothing in the Bay so headed around the cape as we heard from neighbours that there was some big KGW around there, was 5 boats near our spot but nothing really being caught, within half hour everyone else had cleared out and about 10 mins later everything came on the bite! Mixture of Sweep, big Leather Jackets, red mullet, tommies, undersized snapper and some nice big KG's.

Ended up with 10 KG's all over 40cm, before we ran out of light. Trip back to the ramp was a bit rough in a tinny as the wind had come up a bit while we were out there but well worth it.

Couple of snaps below, as you can see the ramp was pretty busy!

Headed off from Parham Monday around 9:30am chasing squid. Me and mate picked up our 30 in good time and another mate in his boat drifting next to us for most of the morning scored 27. A mix of sizes but a few honkers amongst them. Haven't caught squid like that for a while up there. I was a great morning on the water, until it came to cleaning them. All worth it though. Didn't really try for anything else.

Do you scaler bag 'em Swampy? Saves at least an hour at cleaning time on 1 bag of squid. 10mins well spent.

Yeah I tried it with a few cos I have heard that before, but in future I'll let out the tentacles it was effective. Do you throw them in hole or partially clean them first?

Yep, takes a bit of pre-bag prep, but well worth it. Remove the head & tentacles and cut the tip off the tube. You can remove the quill if you want, I don't bother. 10-12mins @ around 16-17kmph keeps them rolling around in the wash nicely. It won't remove the entirety of the innards, but it will remove that mongrel membrane from the squid. In most cases you'll still need to flip the tube inside out to scrape a bit of guts away, but any help is good help. A mate of mine removes the wings/flaps as well before the scaler bag, but once again I don't bother. Reckon it saves 45mins - an hour on a bag limit, depending on your level of expertise..

Nothing goes to waste for mine. My mates were kind enough to let me keep the heads & tentacles, so in the end I added 5 bags of 'candles' for KG bait, 4 bags of heads for snapps bait and 2 bags of offcuts for the berley mulcher to my bait freezer.

[Mythical Creature]

Like I've said before, just cut the tubes up the middle and let the wake do the rest.
The heads/tentacles will just rip off and combine into a big ball.
The tubes won't need any cleaning, might need to scrape the back flaps and thats it.
Negative is that you won't have squid rings, but strips instead. All tastes the same!
