MULLET

I believe the top one is a Mullet. The last picture is a Milk Fish.

:rofl: :rofl:

They are all over NPH even jump into us on our tubes, scare the bejesus out of us.. :D Like guided missiles coming at you....

The Mullet have a very tiny mouth like the first pic...

I dont know of anyone that knows how to catch them, I have been told they are Vegetarians and dont take any baits????

Maybe some carp bait?? they get big also, have seen them from 3# to about 5#..

This link is from a fly fisherman and his method, but has some great info on them also.....

You can legally snag these. It's not very sportsman-like (especially if you're not eating them), but in all fairness, it is perfectly legal.

I know a mullet and that's definitely not a mullet. A mullet is a type of hairstyle popular with guys who live in the IE.

[matt duarte]

you mean its popular with people who come illegaly to the IE? :lol:

theres plenty of mullets at my work :lol: one guys hair was long as hell and he shaved his whole head and left the party in the back! :lol: :lol: the boss's had fun with this....

but its all fun and games

I'm ashamed to say I have this bookmarked....

I've tinkered with the idea of submitting some candidates....but I think they met their quota of canal fishermen...

Ha ha!!

[fishyharraser]

thanks for the advices

back in my country, we use bread or very tiny shrimp to catch those

those are very very good to eat if u know how to cook it

any specific spot that u guys can tell me ?

[Granny Fish]

It looks like a mullet to me. How did you catch it?

[Fish Dog]

That's a mullet and, by the looks the big gash near the tail in pic #2 it was snagged.... :x

[fishyharraser]

i didnt catch it...
i saw someone did and i juz took a few pics =(

[crabKracker]

Did u catch the bottom (pic) one from the salt or fresh, in asia? I have looked at milk fish in stores and caught a mullet once on a KM, they looked very similiar. Always wonder if they are the same, just inhabit different waters, in different parts of the world.

[Granny Fish]

i didnt catch it...

I never seen anyone catch them. Heard you could catch them on green peas... never knew anyone who tried. The top fish looks like it was snagged, which strangely is actutually legal.

[fishyharraser]

in asia, we use a Float, and fish for about 2ft - 7ft of water

i am gonna try this weekend or next

[PUDD MASTER BAITER]

YEARS AGO THIS OLD GENTELMEN USED COTTON BALLS WITH A FLOAT, AND USE TO CATCH THEM.THIS WAS AT 72ND SOME 35YRS AGO. AT FIRST I THOUGHT HE WAS A NUT,UNTIL HE STARTED CATCHING THEM. GO FIGURE IT. I WAS IN SHOCK. I HAD FORGOTTEN ABOUT THAT TILL I READ THIS THREAD. I KNOW SOMEONE WILL LITE ME UP FOR THIS SOMEHOW ,BUT IT IS THE HONEST TRUTH, OR MY NAME ISNT THE MIKE THE PMB.........!!!!!!! (GOOD LUCK AND PEACE OUT MIKE THE PMB...)
