I have fished for mullet in spring and summer. best results came at lewes in east sussex, on the tidal stretch, about seven mles inland. I fished using a light ledger with two hook lengths top and bottom like flat fish rigs. Rag worm worked well, I cast from the bank between the concrete pillars on a bridge. The surface is mud and chalk rocks, the mullet bite best an hour before and after high tide. great fun with light tackle, I started using carp gear.

Any power station with a warm water outflow should hold mullet. Im not familiar with the welsh coast so really dont know anywhere where power stations are.

 

Bread is usually the best bait.

Aberystwyth harbour has mullet about in spring/summer. Float fishing is best with bread. Garfish can also be caught in this area. Here is a pic.

Whatever that pier/jetty thing is, it looks well worth investigating..

In fact it ALL looks good! Is that two rivers meeting? One coming in from the bottom of the picture, and one coming in from the middle right?

 

Or do I need glasses?

 

Nice bladderwrack beach btw..

Your right, 2 rivers and a wooden jetty. There is also a stone jetty further up off picture. Its pretty much perfect mullet habitat.
