I have never attempted mullet in an estuary. I have caught them from the rocks on holiday and thought they were easy
mg:
I have seen them grab every morsel of bread with ravenous gusto in Spanish harbours.
Akin to those films of piranhas.
I must conclude that what I caught and have seen were obviously a different species to estuary mullet.
Sounds like life is too short for the estuary sort

Once feeding they are just like a tricky chub, difficult but very catchable.
And they do hang on hard as a rule. September can be best month for 'em round here as they feed up ready for the journey south.

Surely I'm not the only mullet-duffer in Britain, am I?

I've watched Mullet ghosting around harbours and marinas when I've been down in Devon and Cornwall and must admit to being fascinated by them although I've never given them a go.
I would love to trot for them in an estuary with bread on the right tide, it's a bit like coarse meets sea fishing in some ways.

As an inexperienced youth I spent many holidays down around Christchurch / Boscombe / Bournemouth and I can remember very clearly the enormous mullet seen from a bridge near Christchurch that would take huge lumps of crust off the surface - -dozens of them !
Cast a line though, and not so much as a bite !!
How did a London boy know they were mullet ? Well, I asked the man behind the counter in that tackle shop near the Royalty - simple !!
