Mullet Fishing

[Allan P 1,150]

Just took dog for walk down the river and saw loads of Mullet skimming the surface. What's the best techniques for catching them? I understand they are difficult to catch any tips would be appreciated.

Used to see loads down bridport/Lyme Regis way ,

Only things I can remember were stay quiet an out of sight, I think it was free lining bait ,but not sure.

When the local power station was working we used to catch them on bubble floated strips of silver foil. They would feed on the hot water outlet of the power station on the cooked whitebait being thrown out with the hot cooling water.

Fly fish for them... superb sport.

Fished for them only once. Put out balls of bread flake and watched a large shoal of Mullet sniff at my ground bait and hook bait for the next two hours, LOL.

Not a bite.

Still want to try them again though.

Think carp fishing with float fished bread, ground bait your swim first to get them interested then standby for frustration watching them spit out your bait lol

Thanks lads, don't think I'm quite so keen now lol.

I wouldn't give up. Those who've been lucky enough to get one on the line (better still a fly) say it's the best battle you'll have pound for pound.

Hope to do it some day.

[Allan P 1,150]

I'll be giving it go Neil.
