during the summer months go for a walk. early summer mornings or late still evenings and look for signs of them feeding among the weed.

they should be there in the right conditions.

Good luck finding them, they’re a rare visitor to these shores. The hot water outlet up at Cambois used to hold them but now that’s gone you’d have a better chance heading west or south of here. Good luck.

Never managed to bag a Mullet in the North East but if you ever get to the isle of Mull to the right of Duart castle, there is a small bay that the locals call Mullet bay, the Mullet live there, (allegedly), but, prayer, dynamite, and expletives, in equal amounts never worked for me, only lady luck have manged to allow me to 'shake hands ' with a Mullet, good luck in your quest

Patience, bread, small hooks and patience and patience and patience and a bit more patience

very wise words indeed, Mullet can drive you mad,

You get a few in sunderland marina tried fishing for them twice ended up just feeding the birds haha some big ones about mind

How did you fish for them? They respond well to a small mepps with the treble removed, couple inches of mono to a ragworm baited hook. You shouldn't leave any worm trailing after the bend of the hook, this gives a better chance of a hookup or they just nip the tail. I'm no expert mind, that's just what I've heard from some good mullet anglers. They seem to be thin on the ground up here though.

I just used a tony hook and balled bread over it, flicked out using 4lb mono

Don't spend any time on the Tyne but herd of them hanging around Bill key and round near the elephant on the Tyne , if your on the north side have a look at st Peter's where the boats are moored , that's the sort of area you see them on the wear

[dabcatcher]

they are on the northeast coast and in large numbers. few spend the time and effort needed attract and catch them.

I mix very small chopped ragworm in with my bread then use small ragworm as bait.

[Bushwhacker]

Liquidized Bread with some white Maggots mixed in is my favourite groundbait for them.
Maggot on the hook.
Had loads of Mullet from Torness with this method,biggest just over 6lb.
Also had Bass on the Maggot from there while targeting the Mullet.

chees lad for the replys

I got beat in a comp in Northern Ireland by a lad who caught a 4lb Mullet. He was reeling in when the fish took his ragworm bait in last few feet of water. I had a Bass at about 3 1/2 lb. Lost out on big cash prize. The Mullet area very hard fish to catch by all accounts-I have never had one.

hi mick ,soz to hear you got beat that way lad.
I was living in southern Ireland for 11years and caught a few mullet ,yep there sometimes hard to catch but you get a good fight out them like, bread was the best bait and just float fish for them .
