HOW TO CATCH MULLET - On PERCH FISHING gear!

Life on the bank

12,951 views

I'm back on salt water and we look at how to catch mullet on my perch fishing gear! If you love your perch fishing and sometimes find yourself near the coast then YOU'VE GOT TO TRY THIS! You might be on holiday or on a short break, either way using you lure rod with spinners can catch you some incredible fish. I'm mullet fishing in christchurch harbour and the spinning techniques for mullet are quite different to how we're used to fishing with lures, but the rewards are there and it's great to learn something new in your fishing.

The mullet is such an incredible looking fish and they fight extremely hard. They are known to be quite tricky to catch, but these tactics do well, especially for the thin lip mullet.

Thanks as always for checking out the video. Please don't forget to subscribe!

Funnily enough I’ve just watched Tom from Christchurch Angling mullet spinning on what looks like exactly the same stretch. I must make the journey one day, it looks like brilliant fun.

I spent many hours as a kid watching mullet follow my spinners but never take them! The only way I ever caught them was with a tiny blob of cheese - plastic rag worm seems very effective. Great video.

I spent some time bobbing up and down in Port Stanley Harbour a few years back. There was a strange fish there that the locals called Mullet. We spun for them but tipped the hook with fillet steak!.. they were very obliging :)

Wow! Tried for a mullet in a local harbour but they weren't having any of it 😂.

Welcome to the UK bone fish equivalent sort of....some anglers Have a blind spot with how to tackle these fish ....did not expect you to be one of them...thick lippers fight even harder I would say... ..scale on hook indicates foul hook contact..with a scaled fish...

Great video mate. It also works with only one hook.

Brilliance, still need to get my first Mullet, that take was awesome 😎 😆 Jesus Christ!!!

Interesting- I fished throughout the summer of 2005 for the abundant mullet in the old ruined harbour of Port Carlisle on the Solway.

I fished with Course tactics; floats, bread, bubble floats all sorts……..I caught NOTHING! Occasionally I got a take but nothing on the strike!

I am going to try this.

They always seem like they might be hard fighting like a really good Chub.

Nice vid. How on earth do you rig up those skinny iso worms onto a penel? I can't get them to go on straight

Hi. Your video is excellent! With this kind of retrieve (medium/slow) your lure is moving near the bottom, near the surface, one meter down the surface? Where (in depth) usually we could find mullets with spinning? Changing the retrieve up and down or using a heavier lure would change a bad day to a succesful one? Thank you very much.
