Mullet fishing is like Carp fishing. Mullet are underrated, spooky, and requires stealth to catch. My 2 cents.

Just to 'clear my name'Originally Posted by Ifishtoolittle
I don't fish for Mullet, but I might try that spot.
I fished alot at Big Bear as a kid and never caught a carp.
We would see them.
Guys would shoot them with bow and arrow for the 5 cent bounty for carp tails. We used a rowboat and a pole spear for them.
In the 1960's they had too many carp in the lake so they paid people 5 cents for every tail they brought in.
Another tough to catch fish is Corbina. 2 years ago I was surf fishing alot till I fine tuned the art of Corbina fishing.
22" was my biggest after about 40 after work trips.

I live about 5 min from the anaheim st/ LA river spot. Anyone wanna try it out next week?
Not sure how long it will take the water to clear up and the Mullet regroup?
You can see the spot down river about 200' from Anahiem St. Turn at West Coast Choppers
and go around and back towards the river. Park in a visible spot.
There is access and a bike path above then you go down to the cement burm.
Your shoes will get wet unless you go at low tide which is better for sight fishing them.
I didn't see any 'No Fishing' signs during the couple recon outings there.
Don't go with any open cuts on your hands since the river water is nasty.
The river runs backwards on incoming tide so it is a fresh/salt mix.
Always alot of birds and pelicans there. Bait Spot ?
Get some green thread and wrap the moss on a #6 worm hook.
A old timer at the marina told me he cuts 6" pieces of red thread and wraps mussle that way for bottom fishing.
I wouldn't eat them.
Bring a camera for your post.
Good Luck, DR
Never got a strait answer as to what these folks were fiehing for back on 2/17/08 when I posted these pics of them fishing the river all the way up at the I-5 and SR-2 in Glendale.
Way to far up for mullet?

Look like they might be fun to catch, kinda like opaleye, hard to get to bite but fight like trains...
in hawaii we use casting nets to catch mullet near the white water. I've never caught one on rod and reel. Should be interesting.
Why do you feel as if catching Mullet is a bad thing? Fishing is fishing and what ever pulls one should take it. Either way congrats on the catch.
Carp ? Cats ? Bluegill ?
I guess the idea of fishing Mullet on the LA River sounds kinda foul.
I will have to give it a go. I like fishing other junkfish like Batrays and Smooth Hounds in the Port.
