Mullet Watch 2004

[WeymouthSean]

I broke my rod tip last year in the car door. Good excuse to buy a new one though. Had no luck again yesterday. Went down the river in the end to catch a trout just so I could catch a fish because it has been so long! Had one brown trout but no mullet!!!!!!

 

Anyone have any ideas why it is becoming so dam hard!

Finally took another mullet today! Only a couple of pounds but it still counts. It was raining and conditions didn't seem ideal but after a couple of descent bites I finally hooked the fish.

 

I will send the fish picture on email to you Paul, just for confirmation.

 

Believe that is 5-4 now!!!!!!!

Went mullet fishing for a couple of hours today, got 4, biggest just over 4lb and 3 tiddlers about 2lb. Problem was I couldn't get away from the bass, had 6, biggest about 3lb, the others like peas in a pod, all about a pound and a half, good fun on light gear though, I'll try again tomorrow.

had two mullet today 2lbs 2ozs and 3lbs exactly from a swim I have been baiting for a while ..both took mackerel flesh fished next to a brussel sprout sack filled with a pilchard bread mix using the float lift method

Took my biggest mullet ever yestersday! Had it weighed at Weymouth Angling Club! Came in at 2.9kg about 6lb 4oz in the old scale.

 

I didn't have a camera on me so I filled a bucket with sea water and drove around to my dads place to get a shot of the fish.

 

Dad hasn't got a digital camera unfortuately so I am hopeing to get the picture developed today!

 

Were's Paul gone haven't heard from him for a while?

 

Fish was returned alive to the harbour and swam striaght off!

Well done! Nice fish.. a thick, I presume?

 

Best not to repeat the fish-in-a-bucket scenario, though, just for the sake of a photo. You don't have to post a pic to prove it.. people will believe you.

 

..and if they don't, so what?

 

All the best.

Yes Graham it was a thick lip! Only just hooked a s well! Was lucky to land it on a 16 hook and 4lb trace line!

 

Should be able to get the pictures done today as well.

Fished a short session in poole Harbour this morning @ first light and had three mullet all around 2.5lbs on floatfished breadflake.

 

Cracking fish Weymouth S by the way

Hooked 2 fish at the weekend both around the 2-3lb mark. One fish I netted and then the landing net broke and it was at low tide and I had no way of getting the fish out and had to try and lift it out which snapped the line!!! The second fish slipped the hook after about 5 minutes. Both thick lips I thing but the second was very long and thin maybe a thin lip?

 

Where has Paul gone??? He seems to disappeared off the planet any ideas????

[WeymouthSean]

Where abouts in Poole Harbour were you fishing "Dab Hand". Might fancy giving it ago one day!
