Hey Guys

I thought I would go for a flick this arvo. So I packed the car and headed out for my adventure at Cabbage Tree Creek.

Had a quick look along the water front and noticed a lot of people fishing. So I decided to head around near the trawling boats and found a nice little opening. So I decided to get the road and gear out and put a soft plastic on the rod... After a few casts BANG my first fish on soft plastics.

I was so excited reeling the fish in and wondering what I had got...it felt like a flathead but no it was a little mullet undersize around 25cm so I let him go . It wasn't only my first fish on plastics but my first fish in a few months ( I was in a drouhgt).

Just thought I would let ya know my excitement for this afternoon

Pics will be coming soon

Cheers

mullet on plastic that one i havent heard, was it foul hooked? what type of plastic was it?

[AdamK]

Umm nah it wasn't foul hooked it went straight threw the mouth...I am pretty sure it was a mullet... I am not sure what soft plastics they were... I am pretty sure they are starlo X Series things..My old man bought they for me.

There is - 30cm

One type doesn't have a size limit and hopefully they're the ones you get in the castnet :whistle: . Details are on the DPI website.

Congrats on the first Adam. I'm sure there'll be a few new packets on the shopping list now :laugh:

[pinkey]

Good work mate. Are you sure it wasn't a pike? a lot around at the moment and go crazy for plastics, mullet on the other hand are very rare to mouth hook on plastics. Either way nice work on the first.

[Freshy]

Mate good work... did it give you much of a fight?

Pinkey you can get them mate, I got one at 50cm on a Gulp Shrimp 'new penny' under the Pine River bridge. It was a cracker of a fight on 4lb line!!!
