How I Caught this Swan River Mulloway / Jewfish on the Bream Rod!!

[@mrok3405]

Great catch mate. Even greater to see that you swam him off. Legend

[@DangasTackleTips]

Thanks mate! Gave him a few minutes to get somw water in the gills and swam off well

[@wellhookedWA]

Congrats on a PB and really great work landing it on light tackle. What a lovely fish and a great reward. I doubt if a bigger one will be caught upriver this season. Well done mate!

[@DangasTackleTips]

Thanks mate! Will be a long time for me to beat that!

[@wellhookedWA]

@@DangasTackleTips you never know mate. They are out there. I have recently seen a couple of very large Mulloway under the narrows bridge holding in the current. I've also seen 4 or 5 very large fish holding in the current in the deep water of Mosman, just 10metres out from the bank. I could clearly see on my sonar them moving from side to side and up and down the water column. I'm 100% sure they were large Mulloway. I've also seen a very large one just below the Matagarup Bridge.

[@wazzastinnyfishing]

Mate, well done. What a fantastic catch, and to do it on such light gear! Legend. Love your videos

[@DangasTackleTips]

Thanks Wazza!!

[@adamimberti6948]

Been looking forward to this one. Great fish with the almost full moon in the background dude. Congrats.

[@DangasTackleTips]

Thanks mate will be a hard one to beat!

[@DarinStanciu]

What a catch! Hard to beat that special feeling of reeling in and landing a monster like that on light gear. I ended up getting spooled at Applecross jetty last week with 15 pound braid on my 3500. Well done!

[@DangasTackleTips]

Thanks mate!! Was a bit of luck! Must have been a good one to take the 15 pound line 🤙🤙

[@bomberbloke]

Unreal Danga, it warms the cockles of my heart living vicariously through you on that one! Couple of questions - When did you realise it was a mully and not a ray or a bull? What was the final measure? Were you tempted to turn him into one of your culinary delights?

[@DangasTackleTips]

Thanks Marty !! I though you would enjoy this one! When I have hooked a ray they stick to the bottom like a wet mattress so new it wasn't one or thought more likely mully. To be honest I didn't consider a bull but probs should have thought about it! Final measure was 114 👍👍 as for cooking it up she was pretty golden from the river and my wife definitely wouldn't eat it haha. So thought would let it go

[@alexandreguillet3465]

Congratulations for new pb! Hard work and perseverance got rewarded!

[@DangasTackleTips]

Thanks mate much appreciated!!!

[@BibiTo83]

Beautiful looking fish with that colouring.. what an experience. Unreal conditions, with the warmth and flying ants and all.. one to remember

[@DangasTackleTips]

Absolutely mate! Perfect condition!

[@afseale]

WOW…..awesome!

[@DangasTackleTips]

Thanks mate! Was a ride!

[@mikey.1205]

[@fishwithchris03]

[@karlnethercott9113]

Amazing, great work Mate!

[@DangasTackleTips]

Cheers mate!

[@reeltimeadventureswa]

Great catch lots of tailor in that neck of the system atm awesome fight 👍

[@DangasTackleTips]

Few nice tailor around at the moment

[@666percentfishing]

Well done. Was waiting for the vid after seeing the photo posted earlier. Hell proud, and look at the depth of the colours, dark stain in her for sure from those waters. Well fought on the gear you you were running - and great to see those lures worked for ya, im yet to try them myself. Good size to release as well, she will add to the biomass nicely ! Have you had a go on the bream with the bait junkies before ? I typically use gulps and zmans in the same size, what is your take on them. Cheers !

[@DangasTackleTips]

Thanks mate! They go well on the bream. Bit of a zman slimswimz style lure. Not sure if any better but easy to rig and had a few good sessions with them

[@michaelpapaelias1787]

Ripper mate, well done 👌

[@DangasTackleTips]

Cheers mate, head out there soon🤙

[@mcgcricket]

I Might have to try that spot again but further down to the sand bar

[@Wallahhabibi-wk4fw]

Where is it

[@peteh7966]

"He's starting to tire out" - famous last words 🙂

[@DangasTackleTips]

Haha thought I had him a few times

[@user-uc4bh9zc9m]

That was special

[@DangasTackleTips]

Thanks mate! Will be one i won't forget!

[@SouthCoastChompers]

That’s epic 🤙🏻 Murphy’s law, PB on 1-3kg 😂

[@DangasTackleTips]

Haha always the way!

[@user-qf8zq3rk8b]

hey mate ive been having alot of luck at this spot i was just wondering dose the shade line come in late arvo or only in winter, great vid 😃

[@DangasTackleTips]

Shade line comes in any day from 2pm mate 👍

[@TryABaconSlice]

Unreal mate, the amount of times i have been on that bank without even a thought that a big mulloway could nail the small lures i am chucking around. Really epic on that gear, and in that location

[@DangasTackleTips]

Cheers mate! I have caught a lot of nice bream there but this was a first for sure!

[@forehandlooper]

Great catch - it can be surprising how big a fish you can catch on light tackle. Definitely key is the balance of the set up and not rushing to bring the fish in. I like how you put your knowledge of the area to good use to avoid the line coming into contact with the snags which would have put an end to the fight and that you released such a beautiful fish. I am going to try in the Swan further East to see how i go. Not put lots of time in the past but the video shows it is possible if you get out there.

[@DangasTackleTips]

Thanks mate! Absolutely right about how you fight the fish on the light gear. You just have to fish to the strength of the braid and leader otherwise a fish like that will just snap the line if you try and muscle it in! Good luck out there mate!

[@mariocondello2353]

That's a power station whopper.

[@sallyhealy8464]

How big did he go

[@kalunvinka]

wow....

[@JamesBraid6]

Hey mate, congratulations, fish of a life time! Would you recommend the Siglon Braid for “Breaming”the flats?

[@DangasTackleTips]

Thanks mate! I have only used it for a few weeks but seems great! I had one wind knot in the first session but been fine since

[@ItsQreamy]

Fuark danga, hows the scream on the reel!

[@ItsQreamy]

rediculous fish on the light gear

[@DangasTackleTips]

@@ItsQreamy haha reel may finally be cooked after that one 😆

[@ItsQreamy]

@@DangasTackleTips hahahahah

[@MBilli-pt6fz]

Ive been looking to catch my first. mulloway any tips on where to go and what to use? Awsome fish

[@DangasTackleTips]

Bridges, bends of the river and area where the river narrows is always good mate. If you are targeting them on bait, fresh or live bait is the best. On lures a good 5 inch soft plastic on a 5/0 hook would be a good start

[@MBilli-pt6fz]

Thanks

[@kanyinak]

Hi awesome vid mate. What are you using for backing on that setup?

[@DangasTackleTips]

Just mono line mate. Was done at balcatta getaway with the spooling machine. Think it was 10lb mono

[@kanyinak]

@DangasTackleTips thanks mate. Beautiful fish you did well.

[@dandeelstra]

Great effort. I have to admit I would have probably touched that drag...

[@DangasTackleTips]

It was tempting was already set fairly high for bream with the rocky area

[@fishychippy69]

Hello, im a beginner angler fishing in the swans as well, any recommendations for spots that is good to target breams and tailors? Cheers

[@DangasTackleTips]

Maylands, claremont, East perth, herrison island 👍

[@Mr-fz2zi]

How big that go

[@DangasTackleTips]

114 mate👍

[@user-xx2lz4fs7r]
