Quick Mullet Mission! [Catch Cook] Harbour Island, Cape Town, South Africa

Primal Provider #120, Juandre, takes us to Harbour Island in Cape Town, South Africa, where he quickly catches himself some mullets for lunch. Most fisherman would use mullets only for bait, but Juandre shows us that cleaning this small fish properly can leave you with quite the substantial amount of tasty meat.

Bru, great video. Caught many mullet in my youth in Florida, there one could catch the large ones (1-2kg) with casting nets by law. Now, I live in Knysna and my children are eager to try with bait and hook :)

Great video im from Capetown but I now live in Kusadasi a costal city in Turkey I go fishing quite alot here I caught some really big grey mullet here and msny other fish too. I can't wait to come back to SA to fish in my home city. Where is this fishing you caught those fish?

[@ediharnys7059]

Still fun to catch them on this method

[@mancingkusabar2341]

[@shaneomac7247]

Thanks Jaundre. What size hook are you using?

[@juandregeldenhuys284]

[@luukiecookie696]

awe

[@donovannaidoo1786]

And here I was thinking you was catching live bait lol...non the less top fun...

[@quintinvermeulen2394]

Am I the only one staring at that box of Marlboro Gold during lockdown, wishing it was mine. lol

[@kubenmoodliar477]

Very nice catch 👍

[@malcolmpeters4900]

Yoh times must be tough when you eating the bait lol

[@juandregeldenhuys7948]

Malcolm Peters😂😂 student life ay.... But in all honesty mullet is really nice, lots of work cleaning and de boning etc. but the end result is definetely worth the while!! And its really fun catching them on ultra light tackle

[@rxdetailer1424]

Looks delicious nonetheless

[@beastmode3502]

Mullets taste really nice.

Lekker my maat. Gaan dit n go gee en daai resep van joune try

[@harold9232]

Great job on the catch !
I once caught 12 mullet that size.
Very fiddly and it amounted to 12 mouthfuls .
Would love to catch big mullet,have tried a few times without success.
Any tips anybody ?

[@juandregeldenhuys284]

Hi Harold , i usually go sit next to the locals as they fish every day and know where to cast , bait is just plain fresh white bread pinched onto a sluk hoekie or nr 12 hook on a trace with the sinker at the bottom(half ounce) and 3 hooks above spaced about 20cm apart

[@rossallchorn5451]

Very lekker video. I love fishing for mullet there with my kids. Were you just using bread? Any specific trace you were using that you don't mind sharing with us other catchers and cookers?
PS: should have kept a few for a nice big cob :D

[@juandregeldenhuys284]

Hi Ross Allchorn , thanks for the positive feedback , We only used bread to catch them , the trace is just a simple trace with a 1/2 ounce sinker at the bottom and 2 or 3 hooks above it spaced about 20cm apart , hope this helps

[@qeawonstevens6253]

@@juandregeldenhuys284 Awesome video. Thoughts about using a feeder filled with breadcrumbs?

[@juandregeldenhuys284]

@@qeawonstevens6253 i think it will definitely attract allot of mulets but you will have to mark the feeder so that you can cast next to it else the fish will all go for the feeder and not bother as much about your bait thats lying furthur away

[@qeawonstevens6253]

@@juandregeldenhuys284 Ah I yes, I get what you're saying. But, I can then attach one of those smaller feeders to my rig, right?

[@qeawonstevens6253]

Harbour Island was my first fishing spot, but I only get rock fish and those silver fish (on mussel) on the inside of the harbour, and sharks on the outside. When I tried bread, I didn't get any bites.

[@roedsbotha9776]

hi nice video, kan mens leervis daar vang op plugs and topwater lures?

[@damianduplessis1848]

Aren't there alot of small bones in this fish??

[@tarjeeislam6197]
