Mullet

Was he wearing a Cowboy hat and covering his face?

he's been there most nights for a few weeks. it's not the same person notbad saw and he's amazed at how he's seen as some sort of celebrity for catching a mullet. he does use just a single hook, small lead and peas. he's landed one and lost one but his bait is usually ignored even when its smack in the middle of a dozen fish

They take a piece of lambs liver and bind it with elasticated thread to make a long sausage, then thread it onto the hook. He reckons you need a big tide and a good cast the reach them. He says a good northerly blow a couple of days before brings them on. !!!!!!! I'm a bit dubios to be honest, but you never know.

Definately worth a try!

Maybe the boat lads could try this on our behalf before we go all out for the elusive shore caught fish.

I've watched Mullet sucking away at clumps of weed before .. perhaps they mistake the pea for seaweed

just been down to the boat and met the fella who caught a mullet on a garden pea and he showed me the pic of it. nice fish of about 7-8lbs. definitely one of the better fish in there anyway

I'm beginning to think this whole Mullet thing is just a wind up!

Just found this which is a good article.

fresh or frozen or from a can which one do you go for ?

Good luck Tony!

I look forward to the report

Sounds interesting!!!!!
You've definately ruled out a Snake Pipefish with that setup

Only way to fish (except for mullet ... use a crossbow ... or throw bags of frozen peas )

Going to give it a go with the fly rod, got one or two special lures tied and some artificial bread, dont think they do an artficial peas yet, perhaps I'll use a green bead or superglue a frozen pea to me hook.

I thought "artificial bread" was a joke until I saw it for myself in Aber tackle, along with artificial sweetcorn. Looking forward to the report.
