Got down to Torness this morning around 7am, high tide due at 8. After 5mins of breaking up and chucking in a couple slices of bread, the mullet soon showed up. Only managed a couple hours properly fishing for the mullet as the wind soon picked up and made it a bit tricky. But in the end, I managed 2 small immature bass and 2 mullet, one grey thick lipped and one golden grey (a new species for me) weighing around 1.5lb. These fish are great fun on the 1-4g 7ft rod I use and they feel so much bigger than they turn out to be. There were much bigger mullet around, some looking about the 7/8lb mark sitting deep in the channel, perhaps a weight and small ragworm would tempt them, but that's for another day.

I might be over on sunday for a bash
maggots might be worth ago on a sliding float setup to get past the small ones.....although if I make it over any size will do me fine

Didn't want to say free lining,,,some think that's a Stone Age way of fishing,turn their beaks up at it ,but it's the best,,that's why it murders so many salmon trout and sea trout ,,but u obviously know the score.
Go get in about the big yins now, pity your east,,Clydes full a beauties
Good LUKK matey

A like the chase, watching the fish, interested in my offering,, and it's even better when you win, and catch after all the playin
AV got the patience of a saint though!
I always leave the line free as well, pulling a good load from the spool, so theirs no inertia for the fish, just don't forget to adjust the drags as well, if ya using light line, as a flip of the bail arm could be a snapper if you've a big yin on,,and it happens

A long, long time ago I used to fish for mullet & found that a cheap tin of tuna flake in a bowl mashed & kneaded up with soft bread to form a paste would sometimes tempt the better fish - you have to make lots of 'pellets' and scatter them so the fish are feeding (groundbait style) then chuck a hooked one in amongst them. The pellets sink so if your better fish are deeper down then it might work well... Good luck! them Golden Greys were a very pretty fish...

nice going , thats a good session. there are some huge mullet in the forth , finding them consistently is a different story though. maybe with most of the power stations closing they might appear in that area a bit more.
