Mullet from the Yak!


musket

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I started today feeling more than a little pee'd off as I couldn't join Borderman on a coastal trip due to family commitments.

Second best choice, once I was free, was to grab some rag and head off to the estuary and see if I could get that ever elusive mullet.

Well after the second of three little bass had been put back over the side I had another bite on the little scrap of rag and although I could tell it wasn't a big fish it still fought harder and longer than the previous fish. You can imagine my delight when I finally got this little chap on board.I believe it is a thin lipped grey,can anyone confirm this and has any one else had one yet?

Cheers Jon.

Nice one Musket.

 

Still not got round to getting one of the elusive critters. Hats off to you.

 

Sorry not sure which it is, I only know them from the front. Given what you caught it on I would guess a thin lipped. Top marks.

Fished since 2003, the rest of my life I just wasted.

Good point young man! will drop a line tonight to see what interest could be generated! Problem is I am so far away from most folk its one hell of a journey :rolleyes: Thats my problem too for getting to other meets down country, its a full days drive just gettin there! Am determined though for the summer coming to get mi a@@ into gear :clap2:

 

Also, got a decent roof rack now for the warrior! The one I had was not the "proper" one and I didn't trust it very much. The new one is OME (is that the right term for make specific?) and rock solid! Roll on the summer~~~~~~~~~~~~~ :sun:
