GordoRetired Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Sunday arvo 'she who must be obeyed' decided that she and number 1 son wanted to go for a bike ride around Narabeen Lake. So I said sounds good I'll come too. I loaded their bikes on the bike rack and threw a rod and a couple of soft plastics in the back of the car for me... Come on did anyone really think I was going for a bike ride. 🙂 I have never caught anything there but it was a lovely day so I started chucking around a 2' grub on a real light outfit. After a few dozen casts I got a hit, much to my surprise, and came up tight on something that had a bit of pull. It was even splashing on the surface.. After a short fight I landed a 40+cm MULLET... The only time I have ever caught Mullet is with bread on small hooks under a float, yet this one had smashed the little SP.... That was it for catching but still headed home with a smile on my face after what I considered to be a quite unusual catch.

savit Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 The lake must have "special" mullet - I had the same catch there a while ago at night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldfella Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Hi Gordo; You will pick up almost anything in the Lake this time of year. Will bet that your S/P was a shrimp like pattern. With this hot weather around at present the Lake is full of them. All good tucker to all residents. Would be a good story on the first run. Was it a yellow eye (sand) mullet? ordinary mullet (bully) will also take shrimps under some conditions. Like at present. Interesting catch though. Go for a return match!!\ Cheers.

Roger The SP was a 'grub' about 1 inch long with a tail. 1/2 the tail broke off later. Picture below. I bought a pack of them about 10 years ago and that was the last one . I don't use SP's a lot..... Not an expert on Mullet so not sure which flavor 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
