When the Mullet Run Is Really Here.

The transition from Pre-Pod to the true mullet run or (Happy Bait) is extremely dramatic.
Right now during this pre-pod period you will see some mullet and plenty of white bait. Each day is a new story sometimes the fish are there sometimes they are nowhere to be found. Although the fishing can be good during the pre-pod period, the big fish and multiple species will move in during a true "Happy Bait time". You will see big schools of bait as large as a football field or two.
Everyone will have bait if they so choose and every one will be stoked and happy.

Big fish will be in the surf for everyone to see not just someone with a trained eye. Tarpon, Sharks, Jack, Bluefish , mackeral, Lady fish will be showing themselves repeatedly. Most of all when you get home from fishing you will feel a high that only the mullet run can deliver.

If you see it you will know!

    The mullet are coming! The mullet are coming! As lungerdog says 'One day they are everywhere, the next gone!" That will change soon! I haven't even seen the pre-pods yet. Some small schools here and there. It will be a few weeks we are lucky and get some weather to get them moving! Thats it for now! Run the Dog!

    Got word from a good friend that lives on Highland Beach (north of Spanish River Park and "Jap Rock") that there was a 2 acre size school of fingers moving slowly south right near the sand getting worked by mack, blues and a few BIG poons (and no doubt a some unseen lunker snook from below) around 2 PM today. They are definitely a comin our way!

    Is this famous Mullet Run only a surf fishing thing?
    Or can they be found in the bay?
    What's better? boat? or land fishing?

Prepping The Mullet Run Gear

The mullet run is gonna be here soon, and you gotta keep your gear tight if you expect to have success over the length of the season. We will be traveling and following the mullet pods down the coast so we will have (3) working nets, the nets needs some attention and now is the time to do those repairs and tweaks so you dont end baitless when the pods are in your area. It happens fast and if you aren't ready you miss it. . Once the nets are in order, we will turn our attention to the buckets and wells. That includes pumps and plumbing. The biggest struggle is always separating 5 gallon buckets that are stuck together. The rods and reels were just overhauled but I will go over them anyway, and get anything fixed that is questionable. New line and leaders and hooks. The point here is to have your gear ready so you can get bait and whack some trophy fish. Tarpon, Snook, Jacks, and Sharks. The Old Timers call it Happy Bait, I call it The Run, either way dont show up with gear that don...

This moniker isn't just a quirky title; it's a testament to a memorable day on the water with Captain Jeff, the Lunkerdog, where reeling in dreams turned into an epic battle of willpower. Picture this: the sun painting the sky in hues of orange and pink, the tranquil waters gently rocking the boat, and Todd, a spirited angler, standing at the helm. With the anticipation of a big catch in the air, Todd cast his line and hooked into a formidable adversary. As he cranked the spinning reel with an unmatched zeal, the fishing gods must have looked down with a mix of awe and amusement. Todd's enthusiasm was undeniable, but the spinning reel couldn't keep pace with his fervor. The line tightened, the rod bent under the strain, and in a moment that seemed to defy all laws of fishing, the rod snapped clean in two. The silence that followed was broken by C...
