first of all ray what size hook are you useing ? i would not go any bigger than size 10
second i try and use the smallest bit of bread just enough to cover the hook this way the smallest of bites still tend to get the bread sucked in also what lenght is your hook from the float i would have it at least 2 foot away because they dont like to feel any resecestince when having a go at the bait plus never have your main line to slack this way when you do get a good take you can get a much better strike on the fish rather that lifting a load of slack first hope this helps a bit let us know how you go

best of luck

Try fluorocarbon as a snood. Paint your hook with tippex to make it white so it doesn't silloutte as much through the bread. Nip the bread tight against the shank of the hook but leave it fluffy/flakey at the bottom.....

Try a dubby mix of fish carcases, guts, blood & flesh in a sprout bag. Use a hookbait of slivers of mackeral without any skin. Bo ready to strike at an instant - crouching leopard, coiled spring kinda stylee.

Mullet, sometimes I swear to God they break your heart and wreck your head, other times they'll surprise you with what they'll take. Had one on a Petrer Ross wetfly once, that had been dragged through the green slime they were feeding on. Dunno who was the more surprised, me or the the fish.

There's a few lads on here who are really switched onto mullet. Wait and see what they advise.

Hi Ray, they will bug the hell out of you those god dam mullet. If you groundbait a bit they might not be so shy with the bites. I've used some old mackeral fillets I had in the back of the freezer mashed up and blended with bread. Caught me a few anyway. They can be spooked very easy so move slowly at the waters edge, and maybe use a clear transparent float. I used to use the bubble float which was great because you can fill them with a bit of water to give some casting weight and keep the line free of lead shots which is a good rig for floating baits. You can also get them on small harbour rag and a small hook about size 12 is ideal.

Interesting stuff lads i will give it all a go..Just went back awhile ago for an hour there they were swiming around little splashes thinking they were great with the little lips kissing the bread GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR..New day tomorrow watch out mud sucker

I used to use a carp controller float as they give very little resistance , you could try a waggler either to aid presentation . A good soft tippy road will allow you to use a finer hooklenght.

Lots of good advice given already.
I use carp controller floats myself and i`ve actually made my own which work just as good
The only thing i would do different from most of these guys is use a larger hook..
I use a size 6 Owner pint hook with a piece of bread the size of an old 50p coin.I know people who use size 14-16 trebles..
Personally i think the larger hook has a better chance of a getting a hook hold when you strike.

Good luck and make sure you set the drag and enjoy the fight

watch out mud sucker

like that!

Fly rod is a great way too with v little resistance

Try, coarse fishing feeder setup and size 14 hook with a light rod... Great craic!

TNT maybe on going
