Re: Help starting mulleting

well, actually mullet fishing is a very like coarse fishing. first, you want a pair of tights and fill them with bread, you will see mullet coming and feeding off it,

Secondly you want at max 4 LB line, a very light rod, coarse fishing float, a landing net, and some skill at playing the fish, the best bait to use is either some bread, sweetcorn or luncheon meat.

The best rig, well i find it great is a hair rig, this allows for mushy baits that fall off hooks to stay on the loop.

you can tie your own rigs, and if you think they work, then try them, there is a new invention in fishing everyday, i heard VAN DEN EYNDE punch crumb groundbait attracts mullet.

So here i will make a list of things for you that you need

1. TIGHTS £1
2. ROD, REEL £20-£30
3. Sweetcorn, 30P
4.Luncheon Meat £1
5. Coarse Float £1
6. Landing net £10-£20
7.Line £2-£3
8.Punch Crumb, van den eynde £3-£4
9.Rigs £2-£3

Thats it mate,

i can make you up a couple of rigs if you PM me with your address!

TIGHT LINES

Re: Help starting mulleting

i love mullet fishing. but the secret to it is ground bait, ground bait , ground bait , ground bait , ground bait and maybe a little more ground bait. do this in one spot for at least 2 weeks and you will soon have them takeing bread easyly.
another thing to do if bit impaciant is to try fishing early hours of the morning where you know tuorist feed swans and ducks. hear thay will allready be ground baited up ready for a hook. but the swan can be a real pain in the arse.
fluro line is a must i use 6-8 lb with size 12 - 4 hooks depending on size of fish, shy-ness and if the are bass around(bass will take bread,bacon,chickin and many more silly things), i some times use a bubble float, but normaly free line in my own funny way. by this i mean :- i put a fluffy sinking bait on the hook and then tie a piece of crust 6" - 12" above. this will act as a float and a bit of surface ground bait
hope that help
good luck
if you ever in southampton from june - oct give me a shout and il take you fishing for them around hear

That sounds like a great tip. I have never tried that but now that I think about it, it seems very clever.
