| Groundbait for mullet...... There are plenty of mullet ,cruising the docks around Penarth and Barry. Anybody got any tips on the best groundbait mix, and frequency of baiting , is it best to groundbait a few days before fishing a spot to draw the mullet into the area. Should you bait the area while your fishing or will this spook the fish. __________________ Mike..

| Re: Groundbait for mullet...... I use small mesh bags,filled with minced fish(mackers/sardines/herrings normally) and breadcrumbs/bran,soaked with pilchard oil. I put a weight in the bag to get it to the bottom. This creates a great slick,and usually makes a difference to if I catch or not.... |

 Re: Groundbait for mullet...... Hi, I've fished for mullet on numerous occasions and have usually used liquidised bread. Feed a loaf of cheap sliced bread through a liquidiser, I normally do two loaves and freeze prior to going. Take a bucket with you and add just add sufficient water to the get the bread to stick into a ball, then add two small sachets of cat food(yes this does work) to the mix. Pre baiting over a few days before will help, but when you are ready to fish start by loading in a quarter of the ground bait to your fishing area. This will draw in the fish and start them feeding. Use a light sliding float, waggler type and about 4 to 6lb line with the hook length in flouro carbon line with a 12 or 14 size hook, vary the size of bread flake on the hook as sometimes they want a large lump sometimes a small pinch. Each cast use a handfull of groundbait around the float. Try this if it doesn't work varying depths until they start biting. |
