hey people...i was fishing at woodman point today...was using mulie....miss a stingray of about 10kg as i could already see it on the surface...but did'nt have enough time to get the net....my dad could not make it to the car to get the net.....than about an hour later...another big hit...calling it to be a shark...as it snapped my line right away.....and about 2hrs later the biggest hit i ever had.....tookmy bait and ran about 70m and then i got the hook up...than it pulled about 200m of my banax reel.....on tight drag...calling it to be a very big mulloway .......and it went on and on...after about 40mins of pulling and running....about 40 m away from me...it snapped my 30lb line....and damn i was pissed..

Sounds like a great night
Sounds like a great night buddy. Better than North Mole where there were only a few herring about. I popped into Woodman Point for a look yesterday arvo and saw some youngsters catch a nice squid. Looks like a good spot.
Do many people fish that point to the west of the groyne. That looks pretty fishy. Tight lines, Colin Hay

Love to mate, but it is a long way from my place unfortunately. Good luck, maybe you will get that big one.

Info
Cast out and then play a waiting game. Remain alert. If a Mulloway picks up the bait and starts moving, lean and wind to set the hook. (Do not jerk or the bait will be pulled out of the fish's mouth.) Once hooked a Mulloway will make at least one good run, possibly two. Line will have to be released but the angler should apply controlling pressure to the spool so that not too much line is taken. When the fish tires, start winding, turn the fish and bring it in. Be alert for the second run as the fish comes in close. Repeat the previous procedure until you land the fish.

a mulla is good for about
a mulla is good for about one run maybe two. when it take the bait for the first time dont be in a rush to strike take ur time they will tend to drop it and then pick it up again so if u miss it be patient because they will come back colin was right if u give it a hard strike it may not have it fully in its gob and u will just scare it off. from experinece when they take it u need to keep a cool head lol i am giulty of getting over excited myself and loosing fish because of it lol. regarding the fish u had on for about 40 min prob not a mulla, if there was head shaking then it would of been if there wasnt any head shaking then just a bloody big ray mate which are a pain in the ass but get the blood pumping lol
just a question where u at the ammo jetty or the groin mate

Woodies point
Heard a few years back that when warm currents from the north reach down to perth at around about this time of year that people have hooked up on spanish macs around perth and from woodies rock groyne. Havent seen it myself but hope its all true. Fishing IS living !!!!!
