still after those mullet

[craigo]

What size was the fish

[Dave]

Well done on the mullet, there are one fish that I'd love to catch but I still haven't managed to catch. Although I'm hoping to change that this year.

[Al and Jordan]

well done on the mullet, i still have to get one yet. what hooks do you prefere for them?

[saltydog]

Nice one Alex was there the same numbers as the last day?

[fishinmidget]

ok, forget the pic, i forgot i had the manual focus on and its all blurry

craigo, it was about 40-45 centimeters but was horribly thin, would be suprised if it topped 2 1/2 pounds.

al, i use two types of hook. a size 10 treble or my preferred hook, a size 6 owner pint hook. these hooks are the best thing to ever happen to mullet fishing

i think there were about the same numbers of fish there conor, couldn't really tell as they weren't breaking the surface as much.

thanks for the comments lads.

agreed, hard to catch, but you really get a buzz when you hook up with one, so far i have had 3 in 3 years of fishing for them

i use size 10-14 normally hope this will b useful.

no problem mate, if you can get out mulleting with Ron or Davy, its much easier to get the hang of when to strike bites etc if theres someone showing you how.

nice to see a report from alex the mullet king again, ps is the maths homework done yet?

i`ve been saying that all year i`ve been using them since june `07 and will never use any other hook. they really are the mutts nuts when it comes to mullet

i`d love to hear what other mullet fanatics think about them if they`ve tried them.

[Davy Murdoch]

i just noticed your signature at the bottom of each post i think we`re gonna have to have a meet and see whos the mullet master

[fishinmidget]

a mullet off! great idea.......

[dan]

hopefully they'll be up this area in 2 or 3 months again, believe me i'll be after them from april til early november. and spend a load of QUIDS on bread, mackerel and maggots.

[dunner]

fishinmiget,
in your opinion which hook is best with bread flake..treble or single.
I find when i get brave enough to try for mullet on flake, i seem to be pulling the hook out of their mouths....... i use size 8 single ... didnt try last summer at all, only on the fly with no results, i had a follow using sugar puffs ( they loved em) and a fly i coloured to look like one.
(i think it was to big)

[Davy Murdoch]

alright dunner get hold of some owner pint hooks size 6.i`d recommend them to anyone wanting to fish for mullet.
i`ve a feeling fishinmidget will tell you the same

[dunner]

Cheers!
