midnight walker 8 Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 found a big sandy bay full of mullet but i have no idea how to catch them any one on here had good results on this fish and can they be caught on the fly? Quote Link to post
Little Butch 16 Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Depends where it is mate. Round here in the marina they fall for basic bread. Either using a float and weighed down with Split Shot or just floated on the surface. I'd use a fairly small hook mate, maybe a size 4? Butch Quote Link to post

They can be caught on the fly and they are less spooked by this method. They go like stink on a fly rod, they are a thick set powerfull fish. Bread is also a good bait how ever you present it but be sure the method is delicate as they can be real finicky, I've had them take the bread from a size 8 time and time again, well frustrating. Good luck MW. Quote Link to post

Caught on ragworm, just under 4lb off the beach west coast of scotland. Lost a similar size one in the surf. Quote Link to post
