| Re: christchurch dorset Yep Mullet, and they are a bugger to catch, most successfully used is a red mepps number 2 or even a number one, take off the treble add a single hook with a small bit of ragworm really light gear clear monofilement line no more then about 6lbs strain and slow retrieve, then hang onto your hat because boy do they go. |
