Hey Davy, are you sure they aren't around earlier on in the year? i just checked my local mullet spot and there seemed to be a shoal present(could see the wake, boiling and swirling and such).

And i was getting them early feburary this year. gonna try for them tomorro i hope.

alright fishinmidget,im afraid you have a longer mullet season down galway than we do here,which is all down to sea temp.we dont have the gulf stream warming the water so have to wait for a spell of sunny weather to help things warm up :(
from what i know the further south you go the longer mullet season you get.a local in cork was even telling me that you will see mullet all year in rosscarbery :mrgreen:

good luck tomorrow,it`ll be interesting to see how you get on
