4hrs into the session I finally hooked into a cracker. After a brilliant scrap we lost it at the net    (need a bigger net!)

The tide was flooding in and time was running out plus me wingman had gone home to slam in the lamb.
Managed to hook up to another smaller one







Absolutely made up

Nice going with the fish Dyl,those mullet are not easy to catch.
I came to the conclusion that they don't like fish or oily baits.
Mostyn is off my list these days,too muddy.By the time I get back to manchester the inside of the car looks like it has been rendered

That is a great report Dyl, fab Mullet! I haven't fished there for years.

Might be worth trying some garden peas for the mullet

Good report Dyl nice pictures.

If you do, could you put out two rods with bread on the other? Just for comparison.

I've come to the conclusion that it needs a dedicated session when catching Mullet.
There seems to be a bait that they prefer,but no one seems to have worked out what it is.
They don't seem to be predatory,so normal baits are out.
Maybe the carp tactic of surface float fishing might work.

Saw 2 Polish men fishing for mullet in a sheltered harbour in Ireland, they were using white bread squashed in to flakes the size of an old penny on light gear. They were catching huge mullet shaped like carp, I think mainly for the roe. They were fishing with floats off a wall alongside a concrete boat ramp, so easy to net the fish. The baits were fished on the bottom in 2 to 3 M of water.

Hi Guys,
We used to fish Wylfa in the 90's from the rocks, mainly spinning for the Bass but we tried float fishing for the Mullet and the only bait they would look-at was white maggots, cast out (not far) and throw a handful of maggots around the float, every 10 bites, 1 fish, they were that quick, best was about 1.5lbs - happy days,
