I took Steve Spiller on a South Coast river roach hunt last night but out of the blue a large shoal of mullet appeared. Steve tried flake shallow and hooked one even though they weren't really feeding (his first encounter with one). At first he didn't rate the fight but after about three minutes the mullet calmly smashed him with a head shake in a split second! I think the mullet was playing Steve!
Haha that'll teach the Spiller man to underestimate the mullet, however I bet he wasn't as gutted as he would have been if it would have been a 2lb roach
Mark, I was thinking (and yes it did hurt ...maybe I should bring a fly rod when we got mullet hunting....what do you reckon?
