What strange things have you used to catch mullet?
Mon Jun 22, 2009 1:30 pm
I have heard of mullet being caught using all different sorts of weird and wonderful things such as: sugar puffs, popcorn, bits of sausage and even chicken!!! 
What do you think about that?
I personally like using bread and the majority of my catches have came from using this method.
I was just curious to hear what strange things you have tried or used to catch mullet and what success you have had.
Come on, don't be embarrassed to admit what you have tried,

I mixed up fishy cat food and bread for groundbait and put some out every night for 5 days.. fished on the 6th and not a sign of a fish!!!
I guess they thought there were cats about??????????
Never again......................................................................
Small bits of skinned squid work...just keep throwing bits in off a pier where you can look down at them...when they start feeding ...freeline a bit down ( or with a split shot a foot up and watch it...when thay suck it in strike......
You may have to try several times to get it to work.

Met a slovakian guy the other evening on a beach in dublin,after chatting a while he asked me all about mullet fishing then told me how he and his buddies used to get them with a garden fork whilst living/working in kerry last year,they`d soak them in milk before cooking but still tasted like mud ....these new irish really are a lovely bunch.
