Mullet Watch 2004

[Chippy]

Went down tonight for a couple of hours at the same spot. Managed a smaller one of 3lb 4oz before the swell picked up making fishing impossible.

big shoals of big mullet in poole harbour as well as bass...dunno if the mullet are feeding enough to be caught, no familiar slurping sounds yet as they nibble the pontoons..wont be long though.

I had a bash yesterday had a small bass on bread in Weymouth harbour. Baited an area up earlier in the day and went back to it and saw a mullet hovering it all up on the bottom in about 3 feet of water. Cast my float out to the fish and let my bait sit on the bottom! The fish picked up that bread and took off unfortuately missed the fish! Saw a few fish occasionally taking on the surface in the evening! Had a couple of little bites but still can't seem to contact! Would have been great to hook up with that fish that I had picked out though! Proves they must be just starting to feed on the bread though! Going out in a boat today to some well known mullet marks on the breakwater! Anyone remember John Wilsons mullet programme? Well that is where I am going today!

Good fish Paul, so overall not a bad start to the season!

 

better than me for sure, until I go to Oz!

Decided to try my luck in the muddy Medway this afternoon, along with two othe MMG members.

 

Fish swirling a couple of feet out as the tide came in (one just 2ft from my wader!), but No one had any bites when I called it a day in the string easterly breeze.

 

Not long now though

Since I first went out mulleting this year about 3 weeks ago, I've clocked up 38 fishless hours.

 

It wouldn't be so bad, but there's only me out of my local posse who hasn't caught anything yet..they've all been catching small bass and sea trout, and I couldn't catch a cold..

 

How much is FishSim? :-)

Had my first fish last night in Weymouth Harbour! Round about the 2lb -2/2lb mark. Had about two hours fishing in the evening and had them feeding off the top stright away! I used a carp controller float and floating bread. Took the fish right in the middle of the bay striaght off the top just as the light was fading.

 

Whats that 2-1 then Paul I am on your tail!

[Chippy]

Try 3-1

[Chippy]

And not 2lb minnows either

 

Graham, I've got a copy of fishsim2 if you want it!!
