Just got back from Hervey Bay and thought i would report a nice Spanish i saw caught at the end of the Urangan Pier yesterday. Nice fish of about 17-20kg caught on a livey.
Noticed some schools of massive mullet hanging around the pier that looked all of about 3kg! Can these be tempted to take a bait?
a mate of mine hooked one in the eye today with a mullet shaped SP . try bread on a gar rig would be your best bet .
That pier is awesome. Seen some great fish caught off it.
Gotta make sure you make friends with someone with a pier gaff though
I imagine it's illegal nowadays the way to get the big Diamond Scale Mullet used to be using a long spear, at times there's some absolute thumpers hanging around the pier
Buggers are very difficult to get on a hook!
fished the urangan pier for many years and never caught a mullet on bait or lure
only way i know of is jag/foul hook them which is now illigal
heaps of spanish get caught of there and heaps more
cheers BK
About 30 years ago, i got 9 in 1 cast off the scarness jetty !!!

Would certainly be the easiest way Mark as they school up around the pylons - unfortunately that is now also illegal as any form of netting is banned, thank god you can still at least dangle a line off there!Originally Posted by Mark-P
edit: Oops you said Scarness jetty, you might be still be allowed to castnet there, definately not allowed off the Urangan pier though
