Report:Well this was probably going to be my last fishin mission of the year so me and Davy headed off to try and get some mullet.Arrived at the mark to see a few fish which started to feed on the bread straight away but they didnt hang around long.After a while we decided to have a smoke break and figure out where to go next.Decision made we were heading back to the car when we seen a LOT of fish where we were first fishing .Wasnt long till my float got buried and a fish went on a crazy run ,then another run and another and another This felt like a REALLY good fish and it took me down to the backing 5 or 6 times.Thought it was going to be at least 6lb.Anyway, landed the fish after a 24 minute fight and was shocked to see it wasnt as big as we thought.Only weighed in at 4.5lb but was probably the best fight i have ever had from a fish.
No photo as i didnt want to keep it out of the water any longer after the fight it have given and it swam a way strongly after holding it for a few seconds.
Nice way to finish my fishing season.

nice fish but it was an even better fight from where i was standing i def thought it was gona be a 6lb`er....
cant wait to try the secret mark again

Okay, you have talked me into it.Will postpone the end of the season for 1 more week

no point in stopping fishing till the mullet vanish..
you can get out hunting when the tides and weather are crap for fishing..its at the time of year that you are better fishing in the middle of the day anyway

Dont forget to top up your water level

Nice one Colin glad to hear ya got a bit of success late on in the season, you may as well hold off til the end now, you guys sound like you are on to a winning location.

Ronald it was a crazy fight mate.
Yeah Davy told me he got a good shot of the Kingfisher till he realised he took it in black and white
This photography course doesnt seem to be helping

Congratulations Colin,what a great catch and from another secret mark! Very considerate of you to return the fish immediately saving it from further stress by unnecessary handling and photographing. Novice mullet anglers please note! Anyway a black and white pic would not have done it justice. (OK for magpies but not for Mugilidaes.)
