Re: quick question or two on mullet
A size 8 kamasan match coarse hook will be perfect for bread. Try to get an inline carp float. They are easier to set up that the standard shore float. A bubble will do if you can't find them. Clear wagglers will also work if you need to sink the bait a little.

Re: quick question or two on mullet
I've just used size 2 hooks, and no float. Just let the hook with the bread float on the top.

Re: quick question or two on mullet
Size 8 hook, try not to use a bubble float as it creates a bigger splash which can spook the mullet.

Re: quick question or two on mullet
i use a 3ft hook lenght of 6lbs flurocarbon size 8 or 10 coarse fishing hook and a small bubble half full of water . kepp feeding em with bread they will come on the feed all of a sudden for 20 mins or so . some people just keep feeding and won't make a cast at em until they see the mullet taking the free offerings , my two cents
