Went out today to fish the incoming tide. Started around 9 am and went til 1 PM. I was using whole mullet and shrimp. Got a couple bites but didn’t land anything. It was a real nice day out so I really didn’t mind.
One question, I brought in a lot of mullet that only had the head left on the hook. It was a clean cut right behind the head and the eye balls were still there so I don’t think it was crabs. I’m guessing it was bluefish but I have no idea. How should I be rigging the mullet? I was using a fish finder with a 3-4 oz weight and stringing a leader from the tail through the mounth of the mullet with a hook out the back. I think I’m either rigging it wrong or using too small of a hook. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Got skunked but on a day like today, I could care less. I had a real good time.
