Thanks for the video. I've never seen it done like this. Excited to try it . I couldn't help noticing the litter. Please share the location, I will GLADLY pickup and PROPERLY dispose of the garage. I actually enjoy it. Keeping garbage out of our rivers, lakes, creeks, bays and bayous is my passion.
Great vlog, very informative. I was searching for easy way to catch mullet for bait and ran cross your vlog. Good stuff. Thanks for posting...!! Peace...
I use gamakatsu size 1. Octopus hook. Not circle. But I have used other hooks. The key is small and short Shank. Avoid light wire hooks because the mullet will bend them out. I have found the smaller hooks sneak into their delicate mouths better.
Hello. I really admire your video sharing creative ways to fish for mullet. Can you share details about the ingredients used to make bait for mullet? Thank you very much.
@@mgsfishing Thanks. Back home (midetrainain) we use bread, and dough. Is it visible in here? I live in San Diego, California. I fish on the San Diego bay where I see mullet
Is this in Florida? I catch them with hook and line in Florida but I don’t recognize this place, and I’ve never heard of it being done anywhere else except Georgia.
Next time you go there, would you be able to clean up the trash that others have left? It's so sad when I see fishing spots get trashed because others don't clean up. I know it's not your job to do it, but I'm sure someone would appreciate it. Plus, it will be a clean spot for all
There isn't a wrong way. But I like it spicey so I use salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper. Go easy on the cayenne. Butterfly the fish open, clean out stomach cavity very good. Lay scales side down on smoker on aluminium foil. Keep heat 200 to 250 and smoke until desired doneness. I like the meat to flake with fork
@@leewood509 He is right! The best smoked mullet I ever had was at a restaurant and the owner was nice enough to tell he his secret! One part black pepper to one part Lowrys Seasoned Salt, though I'm sure most good quality seasoned salt would work just fine. Coat the fish in this as you would with flour as if you were going to fry it. And if you like it more spicy, add as much or as little, if any, cayenne pepper as you'd like, just like @mgfishing said. I hope that this helps.
some corks have a slit up the side you can put your line in and then use the black stoppers to hold in place. others with no slit in the side you must put on first before anything else and then put in black stops to hold it in place on line
@@walden6272 Anything white will work once you have them chummed up and although white bread may be something they want I'm sure it would be difficult to keep on the hook. Look up a UA-cam video of mullet feeding and you will see how quickly of a mouth movement they make and so they can be notoriously hard to hook
@@mgsfishing Yea, they are hard to hook. I was out fishing and saw them jumping out the water and was trying to catch them but they wouldn't take so that's why I am researching how to catch them. Well, thanks for the tips. I'll give your method a try.
@@jtarryohpengyew8173 You can fill a them like any other fish or when you split them open and smoke them you can then eat the meat off with your fingers but I wouldn't say the bones are a problem
Respectfully, they are fish and do have bones. Probably more than catfish, but I wouldn't refer to them as a boney fish. I and my siblings were eating mullet without a parents help to detect the bones as long as I can remember. The trick to mullet is practice. The best tip I could give as a long time mullet eater, and 99% of my mullet is fried but smoked is great also!, is that there are small bones around the top of the fish along with dorsal fins, and that besides the dorsal fin bones themselves. Then near the skin along the midline of the mullet there are the pin bones. If you fillet the fish then most of the bones will be taken care of and you can then trim out the pin bones. I find that to be a waste of time and meat and prefer to just fry my mullet and deal with the bones as I eat the fish. I hope that this helps. Oh! And one more thing! If you do fillet the mullet retain the spine! You can season and coat them as you would your fillets and cook them first! It's a great way to check on your oil temp to get it just right for frying and there is enough meat left on it that along with the seasoned coating it makes a great appetizer and something to snack on while the fillets are cooking! It also keeps "the nibblers" away from the fillets and the nibbles won't eat so many fillets when you do sit down to eat! lol
Two different pieces of meat/fat. The fat back is the layer of skin and solid fat from the back of a hog. Salt pork, and bacon, comes from the sides and belly of the hog and has meat. In some markets salt pork is also call "streak-a-lean", "streak-o-lean" or "streak of lean" referring to the streak of lean meat in with the fat. The "thick layer" that he referred to in the video is the actually the skin and not fat. You can also fish with strips of just the skin for other fish. They sell in at bait shops and in sporting goods and tackle shops in small jars called, ironically, "pork rinds". It's also sold in the same style jars with a notch cut into the "tail" of the rind and it resembles a flat frog.
lol lol lol I was an adult before I knew there was any other kind of mullet! I'm going to the fish market and get me some as soon as Helene is out of the way here, hopefully tomorrow. (People not liking fried mullet just doesn't make sense to my brain! lol JK)

Saint Johns river Florida
I have a couple women in my family who catch them off the bank in the Suwannee river with cane poles and some chum. Good work!
What do they use on their hooks?
It’s a group of mullet in my creek I’ve been trying to catch for the longest. Thanks for the info 🎉
Great vlog, very informative. I was searching for easy way to catch mullet for bait and ran cross your vlog. Good stuff. Thanks for posting...!! Peace...
Dang that is a sweet rig I have some ideas for some chicken rigs using that knot by the hook thank you sir.
Thanks. Yes I have used this rig in many ways
You ever try this for finger mullet and down size the hook and cork? Great video and really informative!
I have not, but should work. Mullet are strange though. It seems they don't bite like this everywhere
@@mgsfishing I'm up in the panhandle, gonna give it a shot.
Thanks for this video from France
Would like to know what size hooks you used in this rig. Thanks
Great fishing

I fish for them using flat cork also on the chum i add a little bit of flour to make it stick better.

It's the city and county Job😂😂
@@tdaniels9263 well clearly they aren’t getting to it if it looks like that. It wouldn’t even take an extra 5 minutes of OP’s time
@jessicaho19 your right , I clean my fishing spot as well
Where can you find chicken feed at im ftom portsmouth va
Any farm or feed store should have it
Portsmouth too. I was wondering the same thing 😂
What’s in the chum that you throw out in the water?
Chicken feed mix with oatmeal and water
Just watched mullet video it reminds me of carp fishing chum and all
Hadir mantap spot nya luar biasa bos ku seaht selalu 👍👍 sukses selalu bos ku 👍
Would sweet corn work as bait?
Im sure it would because a lot of people just use white pieces of rubber
Teşekkürler çok iyi aydınlatıcı video
Wat are u using to chum with
Thank you so much!
I didn’t hear you in the video saying what type of chum you have in the bucket
@@MrFools123 chicken feed with oatmeal
I try bread but never hook them . There’s massive mullet here upto 58cm . Friend of my just using 3 hooks and yanking them when they group up .
Nice Catch!!!
Do you have trouble with hooking turtles? There’s so many turtles in our river that it seems like they’d Beattie mullet to it.
Great question I think where I'm fishing happens to have such a strong tidal flow that turtles really aren't a problem
The row mullet should be bitting now. I normally go to weeki watchie/Mary’s fish camp
Hi There
Can you send thru you recipe to smoke the mullet. Thxs

Same here in so cal@@walden6272
What size hook ?
@@JordanNuniss #3 very small but make sure its not light wire. They will bend it out
Hi!Do you think it can work the same and for the sea fishing(sea mullet i mean)?
I would think you could get them chummed up the same way
Which state
@@tarponmarine3855 Florida St John's River
Where are you fish at
st johns river in Florida
What type of hook ?
@@ItsCartelBoy same size you would use for bream but its gotta be stiff and not light wire. You gotta be sneaky with it
If pork works you think chicken skin would work?
I think anything with a white or cream color probably would
I was told that mullet fish are full of small bones, may I know how you made them for your sandwiches.

Spinning with a mepp and ragworm is a great way to catch mullet
That looks like the Sanford side of lake Monroe
Good👍

If you just feel like setting the hook, set the hook.
Lol
it's true, I have snatched and didn't know why and there was a fish on there lol.
...fatback...do you mean salt pork...?
Thats probably the same. Where I'm from, thats what we always called it. Not much pork in it, just fat
Salt pork is typically pig's belly in the grocery store. Fatback is a slab of salted pure fat from the back of the pig.
