Report:Havent been doing much fishing lately and thought it was about time to wet a line.Drove to the spot ,set up and started the long plod to where I was wanting to fish.After about 45 minutes and a lot of sweating I met the fish as they started to come in with the tide.3rd cast I had a mullet on only to lose it after a short fight Then serious amounts of fish started to show and not long after I had a real solid take and the fight was on.AFter about 10 minutes and some serious runs I had the fish landed quick photo and back he went.A short while later had my second fish on the shore after another nice fight.THought I was going to clean up today but after the second fish I lost another few and missed a few.Called it a day as hunger was getting the better of me.

2 fish landed,about 7 lost and 6 or 7 missed takes nice session for a couple of hours.

Thats 10 or 11 mullet sessions this year and 7 fish landed.

bloody show off!!!

thats a very good catch ratio great fishing well done

Good fishing! What flies were they taking?

Thanks very much.
Both fish were caught on a Colin C Special.

Sorry i may have been a bit hasty,just thought u were being a bit eliteist,ive no time for that,anyway fair play on the mullet,looks a nice spot better than some stinking harbour where id normally go

I`ve got loads of reports
Not been out as much this year but i`ve had fantastic fishing....right up until August then all went quite (tho i`ve only had 8 sessions this month)
It doesnt help that im working two jobs

It sometimes feels like im just here to work hard so the layabouts can sit on their ass and get free money

No problem,I hooked a mullet a few years ago by accident while fishing for sea trout.It took a teal blue /silver so since then I've been trying different flies for them to see what they will take.Its surprising what they will go after.Davy has even had some on bare hooks

Davy has even had some on bare hooks

That was pure luck

And just for the record i wasn`t using trebles I was fishing with bread and it came of when i cast and the mullet took the bare hook as i slowly retrieved

You`ll give me a bad name colin

Davy you give yourself a bad name but did it happen a couple of times with the bare hook??
Was speaking to a mate down south who has had a few on a bare hook.
