Guest Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Decided at the last minute to accompany Nat (Nathan) on another quest to catch the elusive mulloway from Chippo Lakes which has thus far eluded me and it seemed as it was my curse..BUT NOT TODAY the monkey has finally been kicked right in the butt. We started off in the dark after Nathan had just finished long night shift and whilst not cold it was brisk enough when travelling in the early hours and about 4 or 5 minutes into our trip ,BAM we hit some old bread crate which gave us both a wake up We tried a spot which had thus far turned up bugger all for me in dozens of trips and so it was again today ,so off to play with the bream and Eps that have been around in very good numbers and they didn't disappoint us with a great run of top perch all above the mid thirties and some nice plus 30is bream...they are just great fun on light gear and I never ever tire of these top little scrappers.The day was getting on and we made our way back to the ramp and decided to try one last spot and what a great decision it turned out to be with both Nathan and myself scoring a couple of beaut little jewies on our light rods. I don't care how many times you hook school jewies on any gear they always make you feel warm and fuzzy inside with their first take and run I took a small video of Nathan releasing his mulloway and will post it later on. And the release...... Thanks for a top day out Nathan and I hope we can do this a lot more in the months and years to come. Regards Stewy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jewhunter Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Well done boyzzzz!! That looks like a great day with some excellent E.P's & bream. The schoolies are just the icing on the cake. Stewy, it doesn't look like you're in your tupperware container boat!? Looks like Nat is a top skipper to put you onto those fish. Great stuff fellas. Cheers, Grant.
