Guys,
The biggest Mullet caught commercially in local waters that I have heard of was 15.5lbs...
A friend of mine has landed a 10lb 7oz and another friend 11lb 10oz.
There are big fish around Guernsey from January to March, I have hooked estimated fish between 10-12lb and seen bigger. I would not be surprised if the 15.5lbs was real as I have seen a 12-13lb'er in the fish markets here once.
I believe when the record goes it will either be in Alderney or Guernsey as these are always fished regularly at peak times. However, Sark and Herm (also local islands) hold great potential as my biggest was from Herm, 8lb 6oz (caught at night on swimfeeder and returned alive) and the two weeks before a 10lb 7oz and 8lb 3oz were caught on normal beach gear at night with worm baits - just like in Alderney off Platte Saline.
