mudd dog 128 Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 (edited) I'm more into coarse fishing myself. Pike fishing mostly and eel fishing in the summer months. I do remember when I was younger going down to stay in the army camp with my mate and his family for a few days in the holiday period. There were great big lumps off mullets in shoals of maybe 6 or 7. We could we could see them from the top of the bridge looking down into the sea water. So we tried for two days solid to catch at least one of them, to no avail. We got plenty of takes but for some reason we couldn't hook them??? I do recall an old man passing by and asking us which fish we were targeting and we informed him it was the mullet. He told us we were wasting our time as the mullet were SOFT MOUTHED and the hooks would only pull threw !!! I never ever thought about it again until reading this post. Was he true in what he told us, or was he only pulling our legs, so to speak ????? If true, why would this be ??? I wouldn't know personnally as Ive done very little sea fishing.
