Inspired by @FishingFables I went down to the Georges River in search for mullet. Armed with bread and tiny hooks, I could see the visible ripples already in the water. I had my fishing buddy (my son) with me and we were keen to catch some fish.
I've caught many tiny bream in this area but never had any luck with the mullet. My rig was simple, a 6lb mono straight through to 2 hooks (no sinker). I lobbed my first bits of bread out and the line tightens up within a minute. Fish on!
I hand the rod to the little man and in comes a bream, about 20cm. Not bad, not the target species, but a welcome fish all the same!
Over the next 30 minutes, we catch 6 bream, all undersized but no mullet. I can see the school of mullet around but no hook-ups.
On reflection, the bread is squeezed onto the hook and acts like a sinker and the bread goes down to the bottom where the bream are hanging out.
Question for the mullet whisperers, what can I do differently to catch these mullet?
