new south wales Late Mulloway In The Tweed River.

[Ge_off]

I've tried all winter to catch my first Mulloway fishing every Wednesday night from from 8.30pm to 5am on the Tweed River in my Quinnie, with no luck what so ever, I've tried live mullet, live whiting, hard bodies and plastics, Every deep hole I could find, Even at the river mouth.

I was told the start of September is getting a bit to late in the season for the Tweed so I give up until next year, I go down to the old Chinderah bridge with a bit of mullet fillet, no sinker, and I drop it down on a fast incoming tide, 2 min's later I was getting little soft bites I thought were bream and I give it a tug,  My line takes off , A large bend in my rod and the real screams. my next thought was a stingray, 10 min's later it surfaces, To my surprise its a big Jewy,  I was and still very happy with that catch, I had to walk it down to the rivers edge then run down to the water and drag it on to the sand, Yippee, I picked it up and the hooks fell out, Lucky night for me,

Here is the photo. 100cm Jewy for my first ever, now I need a bigger esky.

Excellent, your first Mullaway will be one you won't ever forget.. They can be elusive, took me over 6 months to catch my first, after that for some reason or other they became easier to catch then.

Great fish mate well done. You will be eating well for ages! That is a huge effort fishing all night. Keep at it mate and you will be a master one day. 

Thanks for posting up the pics and stories. I hope we get a stack more soon

Thanks everyone, Gave 1/2 to a mate who has been doing the allnighters with me. Very nice eating, still got 9 big serves cryovac'ed in the freezer.

I guess the moral of the story is never give up. Cheers.
