Fishing Victoria Forum

I will be asking questions every now and then on this forum to help me along the way as I go through my list of fish to catch!

My next one is Yellow Eyed Mullet, any advice?

I am thinking of using Chicken as bait, I will be trying Balcome Creek Beach

I have no idea where to find a forum for asking fishing questions.

Have you considered aiming lower than a mullet....maybe start with something easier like a kingfish.

So what's this place for? To dribble sh1t like you and LX do all day everyday ffs :down:


The guy is on a fishing forum, he wants to ask fishing questions, it's not unreasonable to expect some advice from other members on how to go about it.

"Some advice"
Not step by step guide to catching every fish in victoria. Ffs as you put it.

It would be more productive if he tells us what he has tried or planning to try in the way of rigs, rod and bait and whats not working so we can fine tune his techniques and get him onto some fish.

As you can see there already has been 1 smart ass comment on this thread And in his last thread people where already having a go at him on more then a few occasion.

Best Bit of advice i can give you.
go to patterson lakes either near the railway bridge, or near the flood gates and ask the people who are fishing there for mullet all your questions on what, who, why, where and everything else in between about mullet fishing.
they are always fishing there and you cannot miss them, they use long poles to fish.
i don't know anything about it because ive never bothered to fish for mullet.

wow...this poor bloke (not sure if its a troll or not) but is asking for fishing advice and getting shot down.

yelloweye Mullet
- depending on if you can drive, head to Patterson river or Tooradin or mordialloc creek
- Use small long shank hooks (10, 12, 14)
- small pieces of chicken or whitebait/bluebait
- Dont use pippis as they are expensive and too soft
- patternoster rig with sinker on the bottom and 2 hook above that
or use a float rig, similar to garfishing
- use breadcrumbs and tuna oil as a burley...handful when you start and through a handful every now and then.

If you plan to eat them, bleed them straight away and take out the black gut lining when you clean them.

Or if you plan on using them for bait, you can use a bait trap to catch them. check out this video
