Mullet Around The Inland Bays

 

Spencer Henry threw the cast net today and scored a nice load of mullet.

Small mullet are around the inland bays near the grass lines. Look in the usual places.  Few throws of a cast net and you will get enough for a day in the surf.  This will just get better as the summer progresses.  Whole mullet is great for bluefish on mullet rigs, but fillets of fresh is good to use whole or as pieces of cut bait.  Whole fillets on surf rigs, or the small pieces on top and bottom rigs.   Hooking a whole mullet through the eyes with a six aught circle hook on a surf rig is efficient to keep it on the hook .  If using a filet then put the thick end on the hook and let the tapered end flap in the current.  It is also time to start using mullet plugs and patterns for tying flies.  For all the lure throwers, and wizards of the long wand.

Fish On!!
