Seen a 5kg (approx) mulla landed there a week or so ago but other than that I havn't seen or heard anything. Mind you I've only been there the once & havn't spoken to anyone else that's been there so the joint could be on fire for all I know.
I had no bait so ..... decided to take a few herring with me. Chucked a fillet on and had a hookup in 30 seconds. Second fillet went down..... 5 minutes later a different ray.....
Was just gonna use whatever livies i can get down there. Have use ever used whole occy there i always seem to snag a couple when im pulling up my baits?
Never used live occy there but did catch a 9kg mulla down there 2 seasons ago on a whole frozen (bought) occy. I've only picked up 6 mulla from the esheds but 5 of those came on livies caught there to & the one on the occy. Just legal Tailor or Gars seem to do the trick for me.
There's alot of bait fish there at the moment. Mainly yellow tail. Heaps of pickers at the moment too... Current was really strong the other night too.
You should try a running sinker with a cork just before the hook to help keep your bait up. Will stop some of the pickers there

Don't use herring as bait
