My Last few times out have been for mullet. Got into this a couple of months ago and getting better on learning how to snatch before they bite. :tongue_smilie:
Still not seeing much activity at all by bream or bass anglers. Some boats are fishing the Choctawhatchee delta area. The reports I'm getting on reds is it's spotty but some are being caught With the river right close to flood stage at Ebro the high water should be down in the lower area in the next few days.
From a report yesterday the parking lot at Black Creek Lodge was full. The two most popular mullet holes in the lower river area were lined up with boats. A couple of friends fished from 11a to about 4p and got 20, and said the bite was slow during that time.
On Monday I wanted something different and went down to Alaqua with the intent of fishing Piney Point in the bay for reds and specks. Got out there shortly after daylight only to discover I had left my spinning gear by the garage door. If I don't get my gear in the boat and ready the night before I seem to always forget somehting. Good thing I had my mullet gear, so headed to the local mullet hole. Fished for 3 hours with a few misses, no fish in the boat. The boat ahead of me started catching about 8a and he left at 10a. Me and another boat moved into the spot and started catching. I got 9 in about 30 or 40 minutes and quit. With these darn mullet you have to be in the spot they like at the time or you simply don't do all that well.
Everyone is hoping the high water we have been having and cooler weather on the way things will pick up across the board for both fresh and salt water
Incidentally, last week my fishing partner caught a carp of at least 20 pound while mullet fishing. Carp normally don't eat regular bait, but this one had a 3/0 treble fully in his mouth. The treble tips had small bits of plastic. This is one time I wish I had had my camera.
