May and August/September. Mullaway find large soft plastics and Vibration Blades hard to resist. Lightly weighted soft plastics, small deep diving hard body lures and small blades work well for Bream.
Best time to fish?
What bait should I use? Live herring for Mullaway, small lano mullet also make excellent live bait, as do torpedo squid. For Bream small pieces of cut bait work well. For Flathead it is pretty hard to go past white bait or anchovies.
What lures are best? Flathead are responsive to soft plastics nearly all year round, peak times are April/
The winter months are best for the big Mullaway and Bream, autumn and late winter early spring for the Flathead, summer months for the Whiting.
What dream fish might I catch? Again large Mullaway are the target, however some 4kg+ Flathead are often caught here. Harwood bridge can often turn up some obscure captures, like Cobia and large Mangrove Jack.
