Thanks Chippy mate got even more ideas now!

Where my static van is at Drummore,Mull of Galloway the mullet patrol the whole beach at all states of the tide. They roll like salmon at times and scare the sh-- out of me!

I am sure some will be nudging 10lb!

Plan A is to catty loose bread out to them and then cast my "bread fly" amongst the loose feed.

Will try in low light conditions ie dawn or dusk. The fly will be a size 14,tippexed white and superglued to a piece of polystyrene.

i know it is not quite dry fly fishing but I have a sneaking fancy it may work!

What do you think chaps?

Have just had a report from Richard at Oceanflies that someone called Jim has had two mullet 4-8 and 5-8 on a Silver Ocean minnow.

 

That was at 3pm today.

Snatcher- there's a small local stretch where the mullet surf in on a wave and almost beach themselves to get at the rotting seaweed in high summer. If you ever saw that film of the killer whales doing it in Argentina to catch seals? Well.. substitute large grey mullet for killer whale and that's what you get. Only problem is, the only accessible bit (without a boat) is very small and they're easily spooked.. but very exciting stuff when it happens.

G X I am on the case. These boys are "large" mind.Got mullet to 6lb in Malta but these guys are more serious!

Is this true?

Lad told me they got a 20lb mullet in a net in Loch Ryan - is this feasible?

No.

 

10lb mullet are very, very rare.

 

11lb mullet are as scarce as rocking-horse manure.

 

12lb mullet are just within the bounds of feasibility.

 

Larger have come from a landlocked sea-lagoon, but they were exceptional on a number of counts.

 

20lb? No way. Never.

Ok then it must have been one of those fishing tales. I suppose I will have to settle for a 10lb fish then!
