Hi Jim, yes I'm well aware of their seasonal habits, this question is more for next season, though I did see a few near Foynes last week so anything is possible. In West Cork they are present and catchable year round.

Ok, that was not clear from your post...
If you want to get mullet feeding on bread you will have to train them. By that I would suggest you use an onion bag or such like and keep it stocked and throwing out offerings over a few days. They will eventually get going. Unless maybe they are golden greys....

I've put in a great deal of time there and in other parts of the country caught plenty mostly on bread, but in Limerick they do not seem interested, that's why I asked for more local knowledge on marks for digging hopefully maddies - also any alternative baits that have worked in that part of the world would be welcome. I'm not sure if some of the fish I'm seeing are thin lips, that could partially explain their disliking of the white stuff.
