From the Nong the other day

Post by deathray » Mon Apr 17, 2017 5:45 pm

Greetings all,

Fished the Nong a few days back. Got this fish on a live mullet. About 95cm it was a new pb and released. I'm well aware it's not big by any means but was still rapt to land it after an awesome fight.

Cheers

Go deathray! What an awesome fish. First for the season? I'm still waiting ... but soon. It's not so disappointing catching a few 1kg pinkies on my way, though.

Why the round face with such a good catch ?

It's an exhilarating feeling catching a fish
But it's an even better feeling releasing them

Must have been the mist rolling in over the river early in the morning. Speaking of which, that's a fair way up river, no?

That's a great fish and to release it even better

Hey Bilby, I guess it is being around Flemington. Hardly a secret spot so probably no need to obscure.

Thanks, Deathray - that makes sense. I used to fish for them under the railway bridge in Kensington, but never managed to get a take there - mind you, I'm sure they're right through the system at any given time. I've heard they can be found all the way up to Avondale Heights.
Is this your first Maribyrnong mulloway?
