best of luck with the mullet hunt Brian,I hadn't the right set up for trying for mullet that night as I just went to have a look around the mark,I only had the beach caster and a large float,lucky the wife asked me to pick up a loaf of bread when I was passing the shop,had to tell her I got hungry when I brought her back half a loaf
even with the set up I had I still had a few bites I was happy getting the bites as it was my first time trying for mullet
I will definitely be back to the mark on the incoming tide,from looking at the amount of shells and the amount of worm casts on the beach I think it will produce a lot of fish
