mind me askin what fly you got the mullet on?
rubber maggots dunner, lost em,then used the white stuff outa ciggie butts, burnt at both ends, looks very realistic, ya can get 3/4 from each butt. in the 2 hours we fished we hooked/lost/missed about 100, 2 stripped the line/backing and then strightened the hook, 5 of the fish were 6/7lb. if we had spent more time we would have got more. only went at em while waitin for the bass to arrive.
In the second pic. the black spots are fishes heads/backs.

Do you lads buy your lures etc. locally.
A cousin of mine lives near where you are fishing and is looking for some close by if possible.
