what is a mullet

[Guest jay_con]

all those southerners seem to get excited by the mullet. Perhaps we should give it a go see what alll the fuss is about.

I am not a Southerner, rather a Northener living down south. We like fishing for mullet because they are tricky to catch but when you do get one on there is nothing that fights quite like a mullet.

 

IMHO the thick-lipped mullet is pound-for-pound the hardest fighting fish round our coast.

 

Give them a go on light tackle and you won't regret it. (If you can hook one )

They can be caught all round our coast in summer.

Carp like? Perish the thought. Mullet don't have beer bellies.

But mullet are what Jim Gibbinson spends most of his time fishing for during the summer months now.

The fighting power of a mullet is something else. Memories of that 6lb 4 oz mullet I caught yesterday still imprinted on my mind! sheer magic!

[Guest jay_con]

better than a salmon or trout in a river in full flood. (not admitting to game fishin though)

[corydoras]

Pound for pound, I would have to say yes. Hooking a 6lb mullet is a bit like getting tangled up on the back actor of a JCB
