Hawkesbury Soap

Recommended Posts

With a little bit of annual leave I thought I would head down the mighty Hawkesbury and target mulloway in lures. My mate and I fished in icy conditions and while we managed the target species they were all small, with one good fish lost to some tight structure. Lures used were 4 and five Inch paddle tails, mainly looked for bait and the small Jew were not too far behind. Have fished the Hawkes a handful of times and I must admit it is quiet the challenge.

well done seem to be cracking them?

what lb line do you use?

I generally fish fairly light for them I run one rod with 12lb braid, 10,12 and 16lb fluoro leaders, other set up 15lb braid and leaders from 15-30lb leaders depending on time and structure. In a boat with the minn kota can get away with chasing them and positioning boat so on top of fish
