Bright sunshine and flat calm seas at a local beach today, my girlfriend went off in her kayak so I took a rod and joined the tourists casting feathers from the rocks in to 6 feet of water. I was really just tghere to soak up some sun but I managed to get myself out on to quite a nice rocky point that seems to be only accessible on a spring low.
I could easily see a few very decent mullet around, but just hoped that there may be one or two tiny schoolies with them as well. Casting a new Megabass Edonis the mullet seemed pretty interested - more so than normal. After a short while one of them actually launched a bow wave attack on the lure but didn't hook up. These were aggressive little blighters! A few casts later I actually hooked one! After a reasonable fight, and after locating the perfect place to land him, a 5lb mullet was mine! Hooked just underneath the mouth! Result! Think I may go back tomorrow with smaller baits to see if I can catch a couple more. Would be a laugh on the ultra light rods!
Kayakers and swimmers eventually scared the fish off but it was a nice hour in the sun. LRF attack on the harbour later tonight!
