Peel Inlet / Murray River
Submitted by buschy on Tue, 2010-10-05 13:23
Hi all,
Will be on a houseboat Fri & Sat starting in the Murray River and working our way down to the Peel Inlet. Just after a bit of advice as undoubtably there will be some fishing in among the beer swilling:
- Does anyone know what the bream situation is in the Murray? Are there many prawns around?
- What can I expect in the inlet itself? Herring? KGW?
- Is it better to fish the inlet and around Mandurah, or down towards the Dawesville Cut?
- Is it worth throwing out larger baits, particularly live baits down around the cut or in the inlet?
Cheers,
Buschy :-)

Bream in the Murray around snags.
Can be hit and miss. In the inlet bloody hell. Blowies and blowies. I dont think the housboat is aload to go into the cut due to the current.
Lived in mandurah for years and pass on fishing the inlet. For some unknown reason not even flatties in there. If you can get near the river or cut inside side rules for the boat permitting Herring is a go, but blowies?????
Swill the beer mate. After the Murray that is all I would do.

Did it a few years back
May have been around february but the one thing we did try was trolling whole mulies behind the housboat between the traffic bridges in Mandurah and we scored some whopping tailor.downside is this method creates bad line twist so dont use anything to flash or try halco twistys
For bream try tying up around past Ravo and chuck out a river prawn.Mossies are a pain up that way too at the moment
Wicked fun i should do it again sometime.

Thanks for the info guys. Depending on where the boat can go and tides it looks like the HBs might be the go - will definately give trolling a go if we can.
