Default RE: Mullet on Fly??

There have been many articles and comments written on "mullet on the fly", but I think it may be an endeavor of patience. Most of the research I have done suggests tying a fly that looked either like oatmeal or small cubes of bread, and then chumming a school of mullet up. Once chummed you place the chum-like fly in front of the mullet and hope for the best. I have tried this with no better luck than Jose had on the milk fish. Maybe I just didn't stick with it long enough, but never really seemed to get the fish in a feeding mode. However, once while red fishing in Louisiana, we were throwing carcasses from a crab boil into the nearby canal. The mullet were going nuts for the little pieces, like pinfish fighting over some chum. Probably had a shot at them then but didn't have the right chum fly with me. However don't let my dismal failures discourage you, keep up the research and post any results. If you find the key let me know because I think those things would be awesome on the long rod!
