Fishing on your own were you when you hooked that 6lber that must of been a bit hairy. Netting it etc.

 

Nice fish though good job!

 

I went out tonight 5.00pm too late! only saw one small mullet all night and was saved blanking by hooking the only bite of the night a Bass.

 

Day time seems to be the only way to go at the moment but the mullet do seem scarer I feel the end is near!

I use a decent sized extending Carp, set up and extended just in case

Certainly more mullet in the Medway than there were last year. Recently, Adam Lawrence and I had a good evening from the shore: I had two five-pluses and Adam had one. On previous trips Adam has had fish of 7-plus and 6-plus. The mullet now seem to have left that particular location and we've not yet found where they've relocated.

Yesterday ( Sunday ) Matt and I fished the rising tide on Sun Pier.

 

I managed two, the first 2lb 7oz and the second a PB of 6lb 7oz.

 

We had to pack up early due to my family commitments, but feel sure If more time had been avaliable we would have had a couple more.

On walking back to the car park ( behind Staples ) we observed a lot of Mullet in the small 'mud' creek that forms with the rising tide, in front of the metal ladder bolted into the sea wall. A lot of fish are also appearing by the pumping station . . methinks, must get a larger drop net.

I've seen mulet in the shallows at The Strand recently, and when I was spinning/wading the other evening amongst the sea-grass at Sharps Green salt-marsh, I was surrounded by the things!

I have to confess that in July my number of blanks almost had me wondering if I should turn my back on Mullet this year. It had become silly, one fish in countless attempts. I had been spotting them in good numbers at Gillingham pier but nothing would induce them to take, upstream was not producing any bites, let alone fish landed although I was hearing of fish taken in the area.

 

Thankfully August turned things around and September looks set to remain excellent. I'm just hoping the autumn temps remain high like last year and we see an extended and rewarding season into the early winter.

 

Just checked after hoping my last fish beats Dave's great fish taken at the fish in a couple of years ago . . drat's . . it's the same weight. I'll just have to try harder.
