The mullet master, Kev, is a renowned expert in fishing for mullet, particularly in the challenging waters of the River Dart. Here are some tips and tricks from Kev to help you land these elusive fish:
Light Tackle: Mullet are easily spooked, so using light line (4-6lb), small floats, and tiny hooks (#12-#14) is crucial.
Stealth and Observation: Mullet are shy fish, so move slowly and quietly. Observe the water for any signs of movement or feeding activity.
Prime Locations: Look for spots with structure like weed beds, rocks, or overhanging trees. Depth changes or areas near deeper pools are also promising.
Bait Selection: Fresh bread flake is a classic bait for mullet, but experiment with maggots, worms, or even small pieces of sweetcorn.
Groundbaiting: Introduce small amounts of groundbait into the current to attract the mullet and keep them interested.
Watch the Float: Mullet often hit the bait on the drop, so be attentive and ready to strike at the slightest movement of the float.
Fight with Finesse: Mullet are strong fighters, so be prepared for a challenge. Adjust your drag settings and play the fish carefully to avoid line breakage.
Additional Tips from Kev:
Consider using a fluorocarbon leader for increased stealth.
Experiment with different flavors of bread flake, such as honey or garlic.
Be patient and persistent, as mullet fishing requires a calm and focused approach.
