Thread: Mullet

Never herd of salt block........please tell me more of the purpose.

Yes Yes Yes!!! Please.....explain salt block!! Do you still use oats/laying mash?? Are you using slices of white plastic worm on your hooks?????
I need to get my groove back on mullet!!

Never hooked em..... Always used a cast net..... Sounds like fun might try it

We use Cattle supplements as feed.....they are bout the size of a nickel and about 1.5 inches long. We put them in an Onion Sack and stake them down with metal pole. That is the feed......we also throw some extra's around the poles. The main attractor is the 50 pound Salt Block.......guess the mullet miss the salt water and really gather around the block. One block last about three hours ......we used 4 blocks last Monday. We fish with #6 gold hooks and use small piece of red worm for bait......but when the mullet really gather up....I use gulp imitation red worms......they work good and stay on the hook better than red worms. Use piece about 1/4 inch long. We use Crappie rods and 10 pound test line with drag set loose cause when you hook the mullet.......yonder they go. We set up on sand bars about waist to chest deep.......we move the poles shallow if tides get high. We stand or sit on chairs in the water........only way to fish in the hot weather. Promise you.......It works.

Dang post office. I never got my invite.LOL I know that was gooood

We had great time and tonight had 13 people at our house to eat mullet and crappie........had a great time thanks to mullet.

Thoroughly enjoyed reading this entire thread on mullet. Litewirehooker gives me some ideas on fishing mullet in a freshwater spot where i know they live. Have never tried to catch them there. Here we use treble hooks on rods or poles and snatch them over baited holes near the river mouth where it connects with a salt water bay.

Used to be that mullet would crowd into spring fed rivers on the Gulf coast in winter to stay warm. Wiki Wachee is one that I am aware of. My late uncle had a place on the Mud River that flows into Wiki Wachee near Bayport. He would snatch mullet from the deep holes when they were crowded in the holes such as Hospital hole in Wiki Wachee river.

yall need to come fish mullet at ft desoto. Never seen mullet the size of these. Can barely get their pig bodies out the water.
