Fished some guys on Sunday morning up the ICW past IOP. We had a great morning, starting the day off with several reds caught on live shrimp under a Cajun Thunder cork! We caught a nice bonnethead shark and a small bluefish as well. Moved to some different spots as the tide dropped to catch several more nice sized reds(7-9lbs) on the live shrimp. Ended the day with a four pound mullet caught on live shrimp with a circle hook?? He was hooked in the lips so we don’t know if he actually ate it or foul hooked… Fought pretty good though!! Heard some better trout reports lately!! Good luck to everybody this week.

That’s funny, my son asked me the last time we went fishing if you could catch mullet on a hook. I told him I did not know, that I had never caught one and never heard about anyone catching one. Now I have.
I’ve seen them caught on a hook and line with bread doughballs. Kinda like some people fish for carp.
DRIVE IT LIKE YOU STOLE IT!!!
The harder you work, the luckier you’ll get.
Caught a mullet on the tail race canal 30 years ago while fishing a night crawler under a cork. Thats the only one I ever caught on a hook though. Thats a trip!
Mullet will hit dough on a hook.

I caught a mullet years ago when I was a kid on a green with firetail grub… That’s what got me hooked on fishing! j/k

I was at Crosby’s dock last year and caught a mullet on a peice of dead shrimp,darn thing was 20" and fought like a red.That was the 1st and only time I’ve every caught one on a hook.
Double D.
I was told that they will hit spanish moss. Take a little piece wet it roll into a ball and they hit it. The person also said they use a small hook,like a 7 or 8. Fellow and his wife by the Old Berkley Yatcht club, they were ina canoe he was fihing for Brim and she had a Cane pole with moss,she had as many mullet as he did Brim.
Watch a couple of ladies sitting on the dock at Bushy catch the with a cane pole and wigglers. That has been a while but thought it was cool since I had never seen it done.
When I lived in L.A. (Lower Alabama) I would always see the locals fishing for mullet with bread and small worms from the Mobile Causeway.

We used to fish for em as kids with earthworms and those refrigerated biscuits,the kind you whop on the counter to open.If your momma would give you 2 of em it was enough to fish for hours on a gold brim hook. They pull hard on a cane,never caught one on rod and reel.
You can’t catch fish on a dry line
Hairball I grew up on the causeway but we never fished for them. Had an uncle that ran a gill net but we threw cast nets on em. My dad had a place on one of the rivers and we used to stand on the wharf and toss m80s in the middle of a school in shallow water. I grew up duck hunting all around there and pulling a shrimp trawl in the river by the battleship.
I’ve caught 2 mullet over the years on grubs. Both times I saw silver flashes under water and thought was trout. I figured they hit at the grub out of anger not hunger. I have recently been seeing large mullet jolting through tiny tiny shrimp. Almost looks like they are eating them?
