I intend to do some mullet fly fishing this year and so have been reading-up a little on the subject. I'm no expert but reckon your statement quoted here could be the key.
have a read at this: http://leslieholmesinternationalschoolo ... e-fly.html
its a brilliant write-up from a man who spent many years fishing for mullet and actually guided successfully for them up this way. he relays a lot of hard-earned info here
hope it helps

The action might hot a bit when there's more fish shoaling and competing in a couple of weeks. What size hooks are you tying on? I've a few Ghostbuster-type creations ready for a swim on size 12 hooks. Haven't been out yet though.
