dazzassj6 Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 (edited) Weather: Fine but rained at 4:30pm Temperature:31 degrees Wind: 12 - 18 knots Time: 12:45pm, High tide 1:30pm WEnt to X spot to fish for mullets and got there with HEAPS AND HEAPS of bread over the ground and in the water. I guess someone was trying to feed the birds LOL. Well thanks to them it was a massive burley bomb for the whole place. Heaps and heaps of mullets was feeding off massive bread rolls. I quickly setup with a clear float. and treble hook and folded the bread over the hooks and it works. and then my float disapears and zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz LOL THESE guys fight nearly as hard as a kingfish. Well actually not that hard but pretty tough to land them on light gear as we dont have a net >_<. There was hundreds of massive fat mullets all over my float and eventually one actually ate it and im fighting it with my small 2500 reel on 4lb fireline 6lb trace and a 3 ring guide telescopic rod. It went on fighting it for like 3 minutes. I had to make sure it was all tired out first cuz this fish was massive! i havnt worked out the size yet but probably about 50cm MULLET! Yeh i quicked smashed its head and it bled to death. LOL moved onto catch another mullet. It was like 1 mullet every 1 to 5minutes. They were everywhere. So yeh quickly hooked onto another one and all together hooked up: 6x mullets 2x Breams (undersized) Lost: 3 mullet. They took my bloody treble hooks! now i got no more. LOL no more mullet fishing. Yeh the bucket was getting full and probably weighed about 5kg+ altogether. Henry came at around 2:15pm the action has died down but managed to get 3 more mullets wen he came. So that means i caught THREE mullets in 2hours. But the last 3 mullets i caught them within 20minutes although they were smaller. NOTE: notice the last picture i just used a small 2inch bloodworm grub SP to compare the size LOL Edited March 24, 2007 by dazzassj6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arpie Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Hi ya Isn't it great fun catching mullet? They are full on up here at the moment, on the rising tide. Once I locate a school (usually in the leases), I fish the edges, as the smaller mullet tend to sit in the main school & the biggies hang off the edges. They jump in the air & try to wrap you around oyster posts & really just 'go off!' Like you, I use light gear & just have so much fun. Sometimes I just do it for fun & put them all back! When fresh, they are lovely eating - but, like Blackfish, you have to fillet & skin them as soon as you kill them. They eat the same stuff as blackies & the flavour is affected badly the longer they are dead & not filleted. It is the black lining in their stomach that sends them off! Never buy a whole mullet for food - only for bait! When filletted & skinned, I just put them in a plastic bag with breadcrumbs, shake the fillets around & cook them in a mix of olive oil & butter! Yum. Better still, just fillet them (no need to scale) and hot smoke them! Beautiful! Nice as fish rissoles, too. Cheers Roberta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh i fish in that river but not at the golf course, probably like 5 kilometres down. Yeh the golf course part looks very similar to the place i go to. Roberta: yes i used the knife to scrape the black lining in the stomach off but it still tastes awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why you use them in 3rd's for crab trap bait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
