I had to take a skunking.
I forgot shrimp and forgot to hit the bait hole. No shortage of mullet at the beach but there were all big, most of them 14inches and up. Caught to smaller mullet on six inch and one ten inch fished both live.
The six inch got hit by a trout but didn’t hook up and something mangled the tail on the ten inch but didn’t leave shark like teeth marks. Cut it in half and had a shark pick it up and swim it over the rocks. It was at least over three feet because I had a heavy duty spider weight and it takes a lot to pull them out the sand. I had a break off on my smaller setup which was definitely a shark. So final verdict, I caught bait, went swimming and tried to even up my tan some. I kept about a dozen big mullet for future bait
How are you catching those bigger mullet. I can’t seem to spot them in the surf or are you just throwing and hoping for the best.
And the sharks are there this so the size that I’ve been hooked up to. I am not fishing for them so they have stolen alot of my double drop rigs.
They school on the down current side of the rocks. When i see one jump and then I walk in where I saw it jump and wait for a little boil or one to jump and throw on it. I had a small hole net that was only 5ft so I had a tougher time then I could have because it sinks really slow. They’re fast and were in a ft to two ft of water. The key for me was spotting several boils in a close area and throwing there. I could of filled a cooler in one cast with a good net.
It takes a big man to admit the skunk
