- Mullet feeding on the surface whilst float fishing using bread for bait -
In this video I target mullet on the float using bread for bait. The video is ideal for beginners that want to learn how to catch mullet on the float.
I went for an early morning session with the float gear to see if I could hook a mullet or two.
It was set to be an absolute scorcher weather wise and perhaps more sensible to just have a quick flick before it got too hot in the day.
The following footage in this video is from my session out targeting mullet with the primary intention of showing you how I like to setup a float for fishing a deep.
How things can change when you’re out on the rocks.

Quality session right there. I really wish we had regular mullet like that to go at. Great sport those small one still go
Glad you enjoyed it matey.
They are great fun on light gear regardless of size!
Thanks again for watching.
I use a fiber glass pole and try to chum em up close, especially when the tide is high. Great job!
Great tip for next time! Thanks for watching
fun vid sam , mullet can be bleedy fustrating to catch l have had some fun with a fly rod on crust imitations or red worm imitations work well in the rivers
Ahhh I lost my patience on the fly matey
Thanks for checking out the video mate
When I hooked that mullet the shoal all followed it during the fight and a few grabbed at the float ,it reminded me of shark's in a feeding frenzy.
That sounds like a hungry shoal of mullet lol
Bloody mullet!
Being from the midlands, and only getting down to Cornwall for a couple of weeks a year, I kept seeing the MANY mullet cruising around Hayle estuary, at Looe, Polperro, Porthleven, etc, and thinking "Hell, there's sea bass everywhere, we're defo eating some fresh silver, family!"
Then learned they were in fact mullet, extremely difficult to catch, and felt seriously duped.
Have an interview for a beauty job in Cornwall on Thursday, so will hopefully be relocating the whole family in the next few months. Maybe then I can follow your method and hit into some of the bass pretenders, Sam! Apparently, so long as they're NOT harbour fish, they make for tasty eating. Love fresh fish!
oh brilliant stuff! fingers crossed you get the job !!!
tight lines for when you next try.. keep me updated with how it all goes…
thanks for watching!
@@FISHISLANDTV Thanks, Sam, been planning on the move for a good few years, but the planets are all in alignment, the tea leaves read right, and the missus, she say YES!
Did you take the 3lb one for the pan?
Great video as usual, thank you for sharing.
oh well if the Mrs is onboard with the idea then it’s a no brainer lol
no I didn’t take it home I rarely take any of the catch home unless iv got time afterwards to prep etc.
plus this one came from the outskirts of the harbour so I’d more then likely have to wait until I get one from the rocks out in the slightly cleaner water.
Great video. Mulleting can soooo frustrating eh.
It can be indeed! Thanks for checking out the video it’s much appreciated!
Well done. Got him in the end. 👍🐟🐟🐟
cheers Nigel
thanks for checking the video out
Good job ! they are a challenging fish and they do put up a great fight. We used to fish for them near the mouth of the old marina years ago we would get some nice fish helps to chum the spot for a few days before fishing.
Yes they are ! iv only recently started to enjoy the mullet fishing perhaps since 2 years ago it’s highly addictive.
there’s a few rock marks I’m going to hopefully try from perhaps in the next few weeks which should produce a few. it will be nice to get away from the harbour also somewhere perhaps a bit more scenic!
thanks for watching !
@@FISHISLANDTVGood luck they are more like fishing for a freshwater fish or trout. You getting out on the kayak any time soon ?
@@FISHISLANDTV you could try fly fishing the mullet when they are feeding off the top 🤔🤔
I tried a while back and completely lost patience with it if I’m being honest.. but my fly fishing gear is sat there building up dust so I might have to get back out there and try a few flicks
@@FISHISLANDTV Love to see it ! iv been watching some fly fishing for bass looks cool.
Mullet look like super fun. We stayed in a house in south of ireland earlier in the year for a week but I forgot my course fishing gear . All my hooks were too big. And Mullet were everywhere, big ones too cruising around . Drove me absolutely crazy 🤪
Oh no! it’s always the way isn’t it.
Persistence paid off :)
certainly did matey
thanks for watching !
Cracking video matey so lovely mullet there I might give them a go great vid as allways 👍👍🎣
You should give it a bash mate it’s great fun
Nice winkle out of the bigger one bud 😃About to start for thick lip mullet this week I hope. Not been for about 30 years so about time and hopefully the right time too. You used a bigger float than I would of assumed to use. I have AAA and BBB , few 1/2oz normal floats. Like the fact it has built in rubbers to stop and slide , no need for stop knot and with tiny tiny top eyes on mullet rods and going deep, great idea. You added weight too which helps to get the float out further if needed. I like it a lot. Bought in island? Great instructional video. Keep up good work Sam
Yeah mate they are good floats rigged that way.
I got these online but local tackle shops will have similar in store mate.
Thanks for watching!
Good👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Class video mate
glad you enjoyed it matey
That whole video was very very similar to my mullet experience, I think they're one of the most crafty fish and they grow big but they ain't really a predatory fish but they sure fight like one, it took 11 misses and I didn't strike on the 12th the fish hooked itself as I was throwing in more bread I just heard the reel scream picked it up keeping tension, it was a fun session in such a beautiful spot that catching the fish 🐟 was a brilliant bonus to a beautiful day.
That all sounds like a great fun trip.
I’d have got carried away and probably missed the ferry!
iv never even thought of taking a rod over there before… I might give it a go on my next trip over!
Tight lines bud!
Took me 26 years to catch a grey mullet and I was just killing time waiting for the ferry in St malo France 🇫🇷 and I had no hopes of catching one I had 3ft of 3lb line under a tiny float and just put a tiny lump of flake on a tiny spade hook and cast it in with the ground bait and missed 11 takes but on 12 I didn't strike and a stunning 4lb mullet just set the drag screaming 10 minutes fight but I was over joyed when I finally landed it.
They can be so finicky sometimes ay 🎣👍
Try this bro 4 hooks in sequence no float no swivel no lead wrap the white of a fresh slice of bread no crust hook the 1st and last hooks around the slice folded twice to make small quarter size slice tightly can get two small containers blitz 4 mussels in one and 2 sardines in the other dip for weight and cast if you run out of dip dip it in the sea can catch mullet gilt head bream just before dark saddled bream and cow bream use 20 pound mono and don't forget the aeroguard or mozzie repellent have a good day
I think the fishing style may be different where you are buddy... we don't get saddled bream here or cowfish.
iv seen what you describe in other videos mostly in the Med they seem to do well with the technics you have mentioned. Thanks for checking out the video its much appreciated !
J hooks with eyes one 5mm down the bottom (if you want to catch more more hooks are better) then three 7mm and two 9mm and then on top the hook you were using connect the bottom and top tightly and continental French loaf cut to size and rolled gold hooks similar to the crust colour if their biting just wrap leaving hooks exposed still joining bottom and top if not sink hook tips are you on telegram or what's app Viber Facebook I'll take a photo and send it to you I use a champagne cork their the best to set the hooks but if their just nibbling no cork
very interesting1 I'm intrigued ..Send a Dm to my Facebook page if you like its linked to this channel.
Great videos thanks. I would love to see your float more closely so we can see the take. Thanks
Noted buddy .. I will try to do this better next time.
I was fishing a little to far out for the camera to capture it.
there’s fish close in usually so that will be the perfect chance next trip.
Thanks for checking out the video.
@@FISHISLANDTV Thanks! I love mullet and float fishing. So visual and such a delicious fish
What is type of rod you using?
ron thompson salmon worm stick bud.. i talk about the setup i use in the videos usually at the start bud
@@FISHISLANDTV no i mean is it spinning rod or?
@@martinristic6377 ah sorry bud.
It’s a 15ft salmon rod bud. You could use a spinning rod with a medium action which would cushion the fight from fish nicely but ideally you want something 12ft+ in length.
Most UK spinning rods are 8ft-10ft
@@FISHISLANDTV ok thanks bro
Use a smaller hook
what size do you use for mullet buddy?
size 10,8,6 & 4 works pretty well here.
