Flyfishing for mullet : thin lipped mullet : how to catch mullet
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- Josh Allen began flyfishing for mullet in the summer of 2021. After struggling with consistency he developed a method of fishing under an indicator with the point fly fished hard on the bottom.
This technique dramatically upped his catch rate and those he shared it with. This short video follows him as he fishes an urban creek for thin lipped mullet (Chelon ramada).

Nice, gents!👍 Really cool...😎 Great work once again.
Great video! In lagoons I use a very similar method to fly fish for carp. All the best.
Hi . Is the Flexi worm that you are using the same type as for example the Fulling Mill App's Bloodworm Red?
Various forms of the worm have been used there, beaded, UV dubbed, cactus chenille. So I see no reason why FM's variant won't work.
What a technique 🙌🔥
Great video! Really inspiring to actually see someone catching mullet and the method is also one I’ve not seen before for them. I started trying for the mullet this summer and struggled to get any interest so will definitely be giving you’re dry dropper technique a go 👍 thanks for sharing 🙏
Excellent as ever - that definitely makes me want to try mullet, and i know where that is too 😉
We could do with some more on this Tim. 5 minutes is very short. Good though.
I'd love to do longer vids but sadly attention spans are short.. glad you want more, got quite a bit of footage from this season stored on the hard drives.
@@flyfishinglondoner Use the footage!
Perfect. An excellent film Tim. Well done.
Great video Tim, been fishing for mullet for many years. Like you said in your video going out 2 or times without hooking up but getting a lot of line pulls. Got to be 1 of the hardest fish to catch. Best ever session I had was landing 7 on a silver darter (sea trout fly) one evening a few years ago. Like the idea of the bite indicator. 👍🏴🎣
Epic and a wonderful watch ..thank you Tim
Great video. Can’t wait till you go bass fishing with a fly rod
Some belting fish there mate.
Great to see an angler with such dedication in all that mud. Working the bubble line nicely buddy. Fantastic content. I know the feeling of success rate as a beginner. Kudos to you Mr Pottage.
Once again, thank you for taking the time to watch and comment. Your support is very much appreciated.
That ‘brown foam’ is an algae that mullet love, I’m in Cornwall and when you see that on beaches, the fish are not far away. Our water is much cleaner though 😂😂
Great stuff! Word of caution as someone who has been there, wading on mud flats can be difficult and I would highly recommend waders and especially laced wading boots as wellies can b difficult to pull out when they get stuck
Hey man ! What size tippet do you recommend ? Just ordered a bunch of blood worms and bread crumbs flys. I live right in front of a full of mullet estuary that i've spend my life fishing for sea bass with lures. Just got into fly fishing, and I really want to give a go at these mullets ! Thanks for the precious informations ! Cheers from France!
I use .18 but will step it up over sharp rocks etc. This video was of a mudflats with no snags so no need to fish really thick line - although Josh looked to be using 12lb fluoro.
Great video
How do you go about finding potential spots to fish?
Google is your friend! Check out any tidal river/estuary and look for inlets, bays, gulleys etc. A lot of info is about online, half the fun is in finding spots.
Nice fishing, nice tunes
Excellent thanks Josh, is it always thins you catch or does the occasional thick turn up?
This venue only has thins, thicks are there but rarer.
quality stuff, Tim. keep em coming! maybe a video on Tenkara fly fishing soon?!
Maybe, if you're offering to be the angler!
@@flyfishinglondoner We could make it happen!
nice video 👏
nice we have this here in california where i'm from lots of schools and they jump but very trick to catch ..they range up to 20+ inch some big ones and i snag one long time ago and they have lots of power .... going to get a fly set up... you think a 6WT salt rod will be enough ? trying to keep it light not go 8wt or maybe even 7wt salt rods...
One species you have, Mugil cephalus, is global in distribution being found in the Mediterranean where in Spain at least it is called 'pardette'. Contact Colin Macleod through the Mullet on the Fly Facebook group for more info. A 6wt is perfect.
So cool I live on Gulf coast and I'm trying to figure out how to catch Striped Mullet it's been pretty difficult so far with zero luck it seems like your Mullet eat more than just algae
Try this method, it works well with another species we have (golden grey mullet). Persevere, Colin Macleod catches Mugil cephalus (flathead mullet) on the fly in Spain. You have flathead where you are so I'm assuming that's the species your referring to.
Another smashing video fella looking forward to see where you go next
Thanks for commenting. I'll be doing more short videos, reviews of Vision kit (I'm sponsored with them) and some documentary based stuff.

Thank you for your kind words Dave.

What gear are you using ie line weight etc, good watch I look forward to seeing more
9-10ft 5/6wt floating line.
Nice video Tim...
Thanks for taking time to watch it. This is what those Fish Pimps were used for!
