new apprentice

Hey all new on this site and just wanted to say g'day. Grew up in Newman WA so most of my school holidays involved the old boy taking the family to the north west coast mainly for fishing. Spots like, coral bay, exmouth, shark bay, 80 mile beach, onslow and so on...plenty of big fish and wasnt long before dad was trying to get my on the big fish young. My first decent fish was a 8.5kg golden trevally taken on the beach at 5 finger reef just south of coral bay when i was only 9 years old. I WAS NOW HOOKED!!!!!! My resume runs deep from queenfish in knee deep water to coral trout on boats reef fishing. but............ the only 2 heavy creatures i've landed in metro beaches was a large ray (almost 35kg) and a bronzie pup only 5kg. Where are all the big fish at in perth!!! I've landed tailor, bream, flathead, whiting, herring but never consistently. I love the big fish. i hear the mulla are the ducks nuts down here. Where the fck are they? pls help i hope to land my first mulla by new year.

Welcome to the site!

I cant help you much with mulla spots ( i just now from the e shed in freo) but i think the biggest landbased things to catch in perth are rays and sharks. There are some big black rays around ! Good fun if there are bigger then 100kg!

Cheers Seb

Lures

I normaly use lures just from the boat. But i heard a from the richter plugs , they must be good for tailor landbased.And the Floreat drain is a popular tailor spot. Softplastics for flathead and bream are popular as well. Have a look at the search function on the site, there are a few threads bout lures on here.

Cheers Seb
