I caught 4 and lost more in a session in cockburn sound last summer. It's been a long wait and since then I've learnt how to cast a fly rod, I'm a wee bit excited, definitely one of the species I hoped would make their way down with the current.

I'm pretty sure I've seen a few on the flats of the canning I thought they were huge mullet at first but the tail shape looked more like the giant herring. Might have to go out for another cast on my days off.

Yes, i can confirm its true.
I know Paul well and have chased GH with him after he caught this fish!
I think you will find that pic was edited to hide the location.

Hey Albee, mind sharing any tips for hooking them. We got a few nudges and interested follows but no solid hookups. Are poppers the best option or do a range of lures work?

Same thing happened to me
Same thing happened to me last year when I was using a twisty. I went back the next day and caught them all on 3 inch burkley powerbait minnow plastics. Good luck

giant herring
A mate of mine went out on his yak a couple of weeks ago out caversham way and say about 10 of these (amongst hundreds of other fish) floating on top of the water dead.
I was out about 2 weeks ago around redcliffe bridge and saw soemthing that resembles one of these (looked about 40 - 50cm) tailing my lure on the retreive, got it to within about a meter of the shore and it zipped away. Spent the next hour very frustrated whilst trying to get it interested......
