Lots of
little flies I’ve used on the mullet- little SJ worms, caddis, nymphs, spun
dear tied like a little piece of bread(hence the caddis) and little scud/shrimp
patterns. You could also use a little piece of pink or red wool tied onto a
hook. I have an article I could
post you ….remind me tomorrow and I’ll hunt for it. The same works for garfish
and the small baities. R -----Original
Message----- Dan: I
noticed at our Wal Mart Super Sucker Center that MOST fish,and seafood, no
matter the species had an "imported" sticker. The shrimp all seem to
come from some third world country. Probably raised in the sewers
LOL...... I thought "I'm only 225 miles from some of the best shrimp in
the world, WHY would I want it imported from a Third world country?"
Obviously I did NOT buy any. Just thought it funny how they could ship them
that far and they say "FRESH" on the label. Right after I got out of
the Air Force in 1980, I went to work on a Shrimp Boat out of Niceville FL, and
it went along the Gulf from Niceville FL to Galveston TX, unless, at the
halfway point the coolers were over half full, then we'd turn around and
hopefully have a full load by the time we got back to Niceville. Well, I always
wondered (they didn't have the Quick Freeze freezers they have today, at least
not on those boats).It was "something Brothers Seafood Company ",
Jimmy D. You may remember the family name, but they are huge in Niceville
there. Anyway, the answer other that ice to keep them "fresh" was
none other than formaldehyde (embalming fluid) I tell ya, I didn't last but a
cpl trips cause the "deck hands" only got paid a "share" of
the catch, and we caught hardly anything, and it was HARD work, long hours,
soaking wet... etc etc ... After that, the only shrimp I ate was right off the
individual boats that went out that day, or night, then came back in, and I'd
buy them right off the boat.Around here, we wade the creeks, turning over rocks
for the Crawdads. Tiny for the most part, but GOOD eating and GREAT
bait for Small Mouthed Bass.. Chuck Anyway, to
make this post fly fishing related, did anybody ever try fly fishing for Mullet???
If so,did they bite??? what fly did ya use etc ect .... I LOVE Smoked (and
fried) Mullet and LOVE the Mullet Gizzards even better than the fish -----
