:lol:

Nice one Blaker. Super Mullet. Were you float fishing and quiver tipping? Super Mullet and well done on the specimen.

Cheers Mac.

I was floatfishing with the quiver tip rod. You keep the bait only about 2 inches off the bottom so its doable.

Its a bit of a quandry because there are some really huge fish there which you probably wouldnt handle adequately on the super light gear but tooling up would mean less enjoyment out of the 1 to 5 lb fish. Bit of give and take really.

Gitboy nice to meet you, I had no idea it was yourself.

Unfortunate that you only really arrived for the tail end of the action but glad to hear you had a bit of luck
