During our Dorset recce, Dan and I stopped off in Weymouth Harbour for a quick hour long session. We were expecting the usuals but instead found a load of mullet, clearly feeding – rare! In hindsight I think the winning formula was low tide and a sunny afternoon causing an algae bloom or similar. Anyway, long and the short of it was we both managed a Thin Lipped Mullet. I had mine on the classic split shot rig and small Isome section, while Dan had his on the much cooler, Ecogear Aqua Katsu Mebaru Shirasu on a jighead. You had to work out how they wanted it but they were definitely predatory when you did! Thank you Weymouth – a good one to tick off.

Thanks Sam. If it helps, the winning formula we found was finding the mullet feeding (the hard bit!), dropping a lure in their path and as they move over replicating a fleeing creature. We observed follows on a number of occasions and the behaviour appeared very natural. I don’t think the lure type is important as long as it is tiny (1 inch). Good luck mate.
