Nice fish well done.Is it usual to get mullet this early in the year down your neck of the woods?

Wed Feb 14, 2007 11:12 pm

in certain places, yes. but u need to know what you are doing. also i prefer fly because they didnt seem too interested in the bread i was chucking out.

I`ll have to keep an eye out for them at our local hot spots but its usually June/July before they show up.Maybe the milder winter will bring them sooner

Well done Alex, surprised to see them so early. Noticed what I thought were mullet swirls in the estuary at Clonakilty two days ago but just thought it was impossibly early :idea:

nice fish alex. I would say it gave you a good scrap. good to see a couple of mullet for this time of year also.
