This is a dedicated thread for discussing article: There’s Something About Mullet
I managed to catch my first ever mullet this summer at the first attempt although it did take around 3 circuits of the marina i was fishing to get a hittable take. Over the moon i was and it felt like being a kid going fishing for the first time so another mullet addict here.
They are very cagey but found i found it was more to do with bankside disturbance than presentation as every time i got some on the feed a local would turn up and tell me how hard they are to catch, standing over me looking over the edge whilst i was crouched like an idiot. There's some irony there i think.
Cracking fighters and well worth catching on coarse gear.
If you can find a weed raft in the harbour try dropping your bread flake alongside it the gently drawing your float onto the raft so it sits in the weed and stays with it, the bread hanging over the edge of the weed. Sometimes mullet will hide from people under the weed rafts and your bread flake just dangling over the edge might induce a take. Another good place is under boats, but beware of the mooring ropes.
