Well done. Lovely fish.
As for eating they are a bit bland on their own but not bad if you add salt and plenty of lemon juice while frying. Nothing to write home about but ok.
Good luck

yes i targetted the mullet was using size 10 hook behind small bubble float with a small blade using maddies and rag tail as bait.they were from the shore of a beach :wink: and wasnt using bread so i guess same tactics would not do if your talking about greys :?:
