Hi ,Adrian we met last night out fishing by chance it was great chatting with you and thanks for trying to retrieve some thing that fell off my lure. but sadly a rat must have got it before you did. Hope we meet again to sharer more fishy tales of a lifetime of angling. Rob T🦑 PS hope you found Hannah.
Cheers. I do love my Mullet fishing. Hope to do lots more next year. Will be doing more bottom fishing but also other forms of float fishing. Thanks for you kind comments.
Know what your saying. When I was a kid we used to fish right up to the weir. Huge fish up there. Lost some big fish behind the industrial estate last year.
@@ambientshane saw a few but the seals were after them. Shame. Seems pointless to stop Salmon netting if your going to allow at least 4 Seals to maraud around. I’m not advocating shooting them but moving the buggars might help. I know they used to get shot years back
@@TheConstantAngler when I left Devon I moved to West Wales. They had a seal problem up stream, the seal was moved to a new location 30 miles towards Newhaven. 5 Days Later this seal reappeared. Can't blame really. I just target bass now on lures in N Cornwall. It's been slow.
@thehorizontalcoalition forgot the sods were mobile. Get rid of one and another will replace it. Must be plenty of fish in the river for them to bother. That’s until they eat too many then they will go back to the sea. Bass fishing in Cornwall sounds good
Very useful information. Many thanks. How do you find the seals are affecting the fishing on that stretch of the river by the road bridge.. I've ledgered there recently and not a sniff. Then 4 seals appeared
I have been lucky they have just passed me by on the way up to the weir but I was speaking to a chap yesterday who said they were trying to take the fish off his line up at the weir.
What a awesome video mate 👌 I need to try again to catch a mullet, once I caught a that fish in one of London canals wich is conects with river tames and that fish was unormous size it was around 12lb and for the first time for me it looked huge, but after 5mins fight the fish win that fight and sadly I didn't have a chance to have a picture 😔 but they are great fighting fish 💪🎣
They are amazing creatures. Occasionally you find a huge fish around in places like you describe. I once hooked one that big, only for a friend to bump it off at the net.
just came across this video dont see meny people float fishing for mullet do enjoy it myself a small tip on the missing bites i scaled down to a size 16 hook and scaled the peace of bread right down to match the hook dont seam to be so finiky that way they just inhale it every time
Adrian great video thanks. I've caught golden mullet on the fly but have always days bread mash/liquidised bread is the way ahead with a few things added. Anyway my question is are these thin or thick lip mullet? Or even grey? Inspired me to have a crack in North Devon. Having fly fished for them for months strategically a few years ago I know where they frequent but aren't always predictable like some rivers and estuaries plus not the same numbers. I remember being down in Constantine and seeing them in their thousands in the camel estuary unbelievable to see. Some submarines to!! Cheers Jon
These are Thick Lips Jon. Thins generally don’t take bread but will take ragworm trsiled behind a spinner. Christchurch angling does a great UA-cam video on it. Goldens I’m not so sure of but they can be caught off sandy beaches amongst other places.
Hi Ad, how have you been finding it overall, using a 15ft for float work? until late ive stuck with a 12ft,,, But since being more active again, ive noticed more swims where i could benefit with the extra
Hi mate. It definitely helps having a longer rod but as I have discovered if you have dodgy elbows it can annoy them. Great if you’re fine though. I am concentrating more on ledgering at the moment. Lost a good fish today to tackle failure. 8lb mono breaking. 🤣
Lovely bit of fishing, very enjoyable.
@@garymcguire8529 thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.

Really enjoyed chatting mate. Learnt a lot. I shall be having another go at those 🦑 shortly
Really enjoyed this one.
Great session!
Worked out well I think. They are an under appreciated fish
Good stuff buddy... Mullets are still my nemesis... a very hard fish to catch... 😂😂😂 Tight Lines Adrian, stay safe and take care. 🍀🍀🍀🎣🎣🎣🐟
Great video

never caught a mullet, but gonna have a go this year
They are not as hard to catch as everyone says. Let me know how you get on
Lovely stuff Adrian, I must venture up for a session at some point. And for what it's worth, I've using 981s for years - great hooks in my opinion.
Cheers mate. Let us know when your coming. Will have to meet up
Hi man, great work here, in the past I've done very well upriver. 🤙

@@TheConstantAngler exactly, I was catching them on a fly, don't see so many salmon jumping Now do

Nice video Adrian 👍🎣
Your welcome to tag along some time
@@TheConstantAngler not got the gear for that m8, wouldn't even know how to put the float on 🤣
I’ve got loads.

Must give it a try. I love fishing for them. Fight so hard. Thanks for watching

How long mullets last in the river like months or days
Months mate. They arrive around May and leave around now.
Can you catch mullet in winter
You can in the far south west for most of the year
Is it brackish water or estuaries or river
It’s all the way up to the freshwater weir but brackish as the tide floods up the river to there. They travel miles.
