I havent fished for Mullet yet myself, but from what I have heard about them..........get used to it, there's usually only 1 winner in that battle, and guess what......its not the angler :roll:

Better luck next time though :wink:

unlucky dan, stick with it mate. it will happen :wink: :wink: try dropping down to coarse size hooks, apparently you get more hook - up's that way :wink: that's what i'm told anyway

I always use a course feeder rod with swimfeeder and size 14 hook. I reckon anything bigger and you're limiting your chanes due to their finiky nature. Half slice of bread threaded through the feeder.
Anyone see Henry on Discovery Real Time last week fishing for mullet in Kerry, he used a piece of mackerel on the hook and then 'lasood' (spelling) a big chunk of mackerel between the dropper and the lead - seemed quite effective.

i was a feeder rod with a waggler and a size 12 hook, with bread, maggot or worm on it. does any1 think it is worth while puttin some liquidised bread mixed with mack in to an onion sack and leavin it out for a couple of days.

id say use the time fishing and figuring out their habits where they congregate etc.

if you havent hooked up after a few sessions then start the ground bait with the net bag

try the baits serparately - if they start taking the bread stick to that etc.

dan . if u live near the place go down and feed it with bread for abt 3days then go fish it, use course gear better fight out of them then.

hit the lagoon thismorn didnt see any mullet on the surface. no luck inside it so i fished the outside manged to hook one but it got slack line and shook the hook out. saw the fish i reckon it would have been 4Ibs plus.
