Hmm, i too would like some tips on how to catch a mulla in the swan. Never caught mulla before and i'd love to get one of these beasts. What weather and water conditions do you look for, what baits and rigs?
Early thanks for any provided info. Cheers.

About a month a half ago there were quite a few caught. Check out the main brag board on page 2 or 3 for photos or put a search in for swan mulloway for forum reports.
The mulla action is good till Feb in the lower reaches especially with the fullmoon & New. Boat rig, running rig or fixed with 60lb hard mono trace, small #2 ball sinker and sneeled 6/0 chemically sharpened hooks like Gamakatsu Ocktopus. Shop Scaly mackerel for bait!
The Narrows Feb-April with the same moons. Narrows rig landbase; 4/0-5/0 S/S Maruto 1920 short shankhooks, use live trumps and/or bony herring! Dead baits are the same but snelled 2 hooks like above. You can use the boat rig for Narrows boat fishing but increase sinker weight to #3 ball. Trace 60lb hard mono, 50-70cm with # 3 star, runnning on mainline (use easy rig) ie L/B
