Thread: Mullet

Anyone know where to buy large mullet for cut bait ? Frozen or fresh . Everywhere I've checked are out . Even Billy's Seafood.
Thanks !!!

If you have a cast net there were plenty going by the seawall at Perdido Pass this afternoon.

You can't throw a net from the sea wall, can you? I thought they blocked that off too. USA if you know somewhere I can throw my net, I will give you all the mullet you want

USA,
I usually get all I want in Pcola at Joe Patties if you ever get over that way.

Probone,
There's plenty of seawall left, just not in the parking lot. Walk south of the Gulf building and there's plenty of room. I also saw mullet caught by cast net at little lagoon pass, just not in great numbers.

First, I can not throw a net . The only place I know of is the sea wall as Fishntime mentioned . I did see some one throwing a net there yesterday . Give me a pm if interested in practicing your skill for my benifit .

Buy a cheap 4' radius net and use this method to throw it. John G told me to use a 4' 1/4" mesh. That's what I bought and this is how I throw it. EASY.....

Thanks Big Dawg , I'm going to learn to use one . There have been to many timed it would have saved the day .

Thanks guy really appreciate all the advise and help . Just came back from Joe Patty's with several nice mullet . Was disappointed though . They were out of mullet gizzards ! Was looking forward to trying them .

Snatch hook!!.....darn I miss that.....snatching the mullet for Lou & Leroy

Danny; I was a grown man before I ever used a rod and reel. For the first 20 years, my dad, brother and I waded with a castnet for mullet and the occasional stingray, croaker or flounder. I've seen many different ways to throw a castnet. I learned from net fisherman. A man your size can easily handle s 6 or 8 foot net. In reality, the bigger the easier it is to throw in my humble opinion. I take half the lead linr in one hand and lift the middle to my teeth. And cast away. It'll come to ya.
