    Tried this twice now this week and both times caught my 20 mullet in less than an hour. Actually once the mullet were running it only took 5 to 10 minutes to fill the trap each time.
    I love this method because then you get to pick and choose the mullet size you want. The first time I just grabbed the biggest ones, which were bigger than pilchards.. but didn't have much luck with them as live bait. The second time, I went with sizes no bigger than pilchards and it is a much better size for live bait.
    I took the kids the second time, and it was so much fun and educational for them to see all the fish and also the seagulls hanging around.
    Great stuff.

    • @light487
      @light487 ปีที่แล้ว

      One thing I noticed is that you need to be there at the right time.. if an hour too early, they are all sleeping/resting. I found that around 10:30-11:00 am was much better than 9:00-9:30 am.

      Through the lip, not too far back on a dropper style rig(patnoster etc) with the sinker at the bottom so bait doesn't get weed caught around the bait. Have tested heaps of different ways and they live the longest loke this, goes though no tissue virtually and allows them to face the current unlike back hooking.

    If you initially throw a hand full of flour in the trap and shake it up it produces a milky trail coming out of the hole in the mesh. This acts as a “dinner is served” sign to initially show the mullet where to enter the trap.

    Enjoyed this video. When we were kids, we used an old large lollie jar; the type of jar that was on the shelf in milk bars and comer shops. We’d fill it and mush the bread as you did. And we’d run out and put the lid on and bring it back in. We caught whitebait and mullet this way. We would drift them under a Bobby cork for flathead. Happy memories.

I use a small fine grater to grate the spud straight into the water to attract Yackers, or grate a pingpong ball sized amount and just squeeze it into a ball, and use in a poddy trap. Great fun mate.

      I find location is a big factor mate, jump in the car one day with a loaf of bread and go exploring. I've got a fancy $100 perspex trap and the first few times I used it I got nothing. I found my most productive spots are in canals with a bit of sand where I live. I would look on Google maps and try and find shallow spots like in the video, at the end of channels where there isn't much current racing along.

But now that I watched your video on how to catch mullet my question is does it matter what kind of bread do you use and do you have to spray or squirt any kind of solution with a fish smell for them to swim into the bowl. Thank you for incredible videos.will continue to be watching.

    My son is super excited to try this out. Would really love to see how you use them as bait. How you hook them up and what tackle you use to catch your flathead and mulaway
