Mulloway on lure off the beach ✅️

Some fish just mean more. I've been lucky enough to catch plenty of mulloway over the years using a range of lure techniques, but the pinnacle for me has always been to catch one from the beach on a lure.

I've spent a lot of time trying to tick this one off and I've had a lot of doughnuts that no-one sees, so when I washed this chrome slab up the beach I was over the moon! Easily my most rewarding mulloway capture, it's not always the biggest fish that mean the most.

Conditions couldn't have been more perfect. A nice wide gutter with constant whitewash throughout it, it didn't take long before this fish found my plastic! So stoked!

Thomas Eisenhammer and the kids came up to visit recently and it didn't take long until we were into the fish. I had a bunch of plastics rigged and hanging on a rack at home, this is the one that Olly chose to fish the wall for bream and soapies:

TT Fishing 2/0H HeadlockZ HD (1/4oz)

Great profile, colour and sink rate to w**d out the smaller bream and find the bigger ones, nice work Olly! 🤙

Micro mulloway in serious numbers, connected to quite a few of them in the local while fishing for winter bream. Always a good sign for the future of the system 👌

Mild winter arvos, uncrowded beaches and quality fish on offer. All you need is a backpack, a handful of lures and a willingness to walk and explore the beach gutters. Nothing quite like connecting to solid fish with your feet in the sand 👌

Who else loves beach fishing in winter??

Another toga from a recent trip up north 🔥 The lure of the day for fishing the edges was the TT Fishing 60mm Quake Vibe, rigged with an inline single hook on the belly. When rigged like this, it can be fished like a lipless crankbait around w**d edges very effectively. A slow roll retrieve with some twitches when it bumped w**d was enough to tempt this cracking toga!

This lure also accounted for some nice bass on the edges too, great day out! 👌

Ticking off a new species is as good as it gets, achieving it with one of my best mates made it even sweeter. After some quick plans, we hit the QLD lakes to try and catch our first saratoga. Paddle kayaks, no electronics, just old school reading the water/conditions and working out a pattern.

We started by working the edges during low light for toga, casting Z-Man Lures Australia 3" Slim SwimZ in pearl colour paired with a TT Fishing #2 jig spinner + 1/0H HeadlockZ HD jighead. It didn't take long and I had my first bite, and it wasn't fighting like a bass.. a nice big jump out of the water in the morning light confirmed it was a toga! Stoked, what a moment! Such prehistoric beasts!

Continued working the edges, a TT Vortex spinnerbait (1/8oz) + 3" Slim SwimZ trailer picking up a nice bass. Once the edge bite shut down, we then moved out wider and fished the bottom with TT Switch Minnows and kept the bass bite going!

Saratoga ✅️

The goal was to catch my first saratoga, I'd never targeted them before so it was the perfect DIY challenge.

My mate Michael lives in Queensland so I asked him if he was keen to have a crack at catching a toga, which he hadn't targeted either. We had the best time stripping everything back to basics, just a paddle kayak, a handful of lure, no sounder. Just reading the water and working out a system that neither of us had ever fished before.

The end result was 2 toga and a stack of bass, with the toga measuring up 62cm and 66cm. What an epic experience having big toga jumping in the morning light! Couldn't be happier to tick another species off the bucket list!

What an epic trip! Declan Williams putting us in the zone, fooling big barra with TT Fishing Enforcer 190mm plastics. The bite on these plastics at night is unreal, especially when they hit it at the boat and decide to play up right in front of us 🤘 TT Black Adder baitcaster rods providing the stopping power to get these fish to the net 🔥
