- In this session I headed out on the Hobie Lynx to try a few new lures and see whether I could land some nice Bream or other species.
The River to Sea Baby Vibe in Gold black
Gulp Shrimp and Crabby
Early in the session while casting the Gulp shrimp under a few moored boats I hooked up onto something that could not have been a Bream. It was a great battle as the fish got me tied up in the mooring line, but came free after a bit of patience and testing. To my surprise it was a nice school Jew fish. I have fished the Hacking River many times over the years and this was the first time I had landed a Jew fish on lures in broad daylight. It is much more common in the Georges River, but the Hacking is a very different system.
The Mulloway was 67cm which is under the minimum legal size to keep of 70cm, but I was pretty happy to land one either way.
I was using a 1-3kg Shimano Anarchy rod with a Vanford 2500 reel spooled with 3kg braid and a 5lb fluorocarbon leader. I had a light 1/ 16th TT jig head on and a Gulp Shrimp soft plastic.
I also landed 4 other Bream and a Leatherjacket for a nice little morning session.
Great catch Mick! Defs kept calm and did the trick 😅
Yes I was lucky it swam out of the mooring line. Happy to land this one, cheers Mick 👍🏼
Luck was on your side mate! Great video 👏
Sure was. Caught plenty of Jew in the Hacking on bait but this little guy was the first on a soft plastic. Good fun. Cheers 👍🏼
Good session 😁🤘
Had fun on this one 👍🏼
Well done Mick my biggest jew has been 15.6kg cleaned in that waterway.ive got two bays both hold marinas.1 bay i get em high tide other bay i get em low tide.its been that way for over 10 years,never once have i caught em opposite tides at each spot.
Legendary! I have not caught any that size before in the Hacking. Great captures and very memorable. This little guy was fun to land on light spin gear and a first for me on a soft plastic in the Hacking. Pretty common to catch them in the George’s on lures but the Hacking is a bit different 👍🏼
@@mickettingshausen big lures or big live baits Mick work a treat.mostly i live bait but ill have a butterflied bait not too far away.big plastics in the 15-20cm range or a nice 120-150mm hard body in that 3-6m water depth brings em undone.
Nice video! Whenever i fish the hacking in winter, i am never in luck except for salmon on the troll. Might see you on the water! I got a yellow hobie sport
The Hacking can be a tough river to fish at times. Definitely had my fair share of zero catch days, but it’s my closest waterway and I love the system and spend lots of time on it. I will keep an eye out for you👍🏼
Me too. It’s my local
Are you wearing Ugg boots mick? Brilliant as I got numb feet from cold the other day might try it👍
Yes they’re great. I walk in with thongs on and then when I’m on the yak i just wipe my feet and slide my uggs on. Supper warm and comfy. 👍🏼
