Mullet



Managed to hook a very nice mullet last night while fishing for seatrout, i was getting plenty of hits off the trout with no real solid hook ups, but when i did hook a fish i thought it was the trout of a lifetime. After a 5min scrap and several runs i eventually seen the stripes on the flank of the fish and i knew it wasn't one of the big trout jumping around me.The fish was hooked on the nose, so he must of had some interest in the lure, so i keep telling myself anyway. The fish was very thick and well conditioned and must have weighed about 7lbs. I really don't know why i don't target these fish more as they would put a bass to shame pound for pound.

Rod - Savage Gear Bushwacker 7ft 6in 3~18grms
Reel - Shimano Twin Power 2500fc
Line - Daiwa Shinobi Braid (10lb test)
Leader - 10lb Berkly Vanish Flouro
Lure - Smith Cherry Blood 75 MD
