The one constant is the mighty mulloway, which is an amazing fish that can be caught in less than one metre of water or down deep on the wider reefs. Mulloway also patrol the beaches searching for small whiting, pipis and worms. The most productive beaches are Stockton, One Mile and Fingal where a 25 kilogram thumper was reported last week.
This week, Sydney visitor Darren Williams landed his first mulloway tossing a beach worm behind the white water on Stockton Beach. Darren was fishing with a 6 kilogram line shortly after sundown when Whacko! he was locked in battle with a 15 kilogram cracker. On the beach, fishing for whiting with worms with a light line and small hook, your chances of landing a mulloway are always good if you stay in control and do not panic.
