The Mullet Run Fishing Blog

NEW RIVER - Quick afternoon session up the New River with Capt. Dave MacKenzie of Fishnorthbay.com to chunk and drag hoglegs around sunset. The action was pretty slim around all the usual spots but we did manage to squeeze out a few little jumps. Boat traffic was slim, and other than a few kids tossing plug around we were left alone and didn't have any spot creepers to deal with. We will be getting out there again this week, as we are deep into production shooting some new episodes for the Youtube account. If you aren't subscribed to the Youtube page , what the hell are you waiting for.

We went down to fish Miami Beach's Government Cut, but first we had to catch bait in Broward. Hey, thats how it works. It was really easy and took no longer than 10 minutes to get a dozen decent mullet by truck. Yeah, if you are serious about fishing and bait, you might want to get a battery powered bubbler and a 35 gallon well in the back of your truck. The bait held like champs for the 45+ minute drive down to South Beach. And bringing bait sure paid off, we fished the sunset and jumped several medium sized Tarpon and got a good hook into a 75lber. Dont hate the angler, hate the bait.

EVERYWHERE - We all know who they are, the Spot Kreepers. The first thing they ask you is "where did you catch it?" Its not good enough to give them a general location, they want the exact GPS Point. And why do they want that specific location? Because they want to fish that particular spot right now! Without you. If you make the mistake of giving up this prized information do not surprised the next time you go to that spot, you see them already fishing there. Its a tough choice to make. What information can you afford to give out to a friend, or a stranger when it comes to giving away your spots. Here are a few quick tips on how to deal with the uncomfortable moment that you are asked to share your spots. Lie. Plain and simple. Just make something up. Keep it general and fudge the time and tide information Just say NO SPOT STEALING Hide your backgrounds in photos and videos. Play ignorant and just confuse all the details.

The 2009 Fall Mullet Run is in our rear view mirrors, but that doesn't mean its over. The good news is there are still mullet to be had if you know how to toss a net and have the eye to see em down deep in the colder water. The weather is all over the place, you may get a cold front for a night or two, and then back to 80 plus degrees for the rest of the week. Its simple, when its blowing cold, you break out the sailfish gear. When it warms up, head back to those inlets to whack a tarpon or two. We will be updating the Holiday fishing scene on our Twitter feed Be sure to hit us up with Twitter updates on your big catches. The Mullet is with you.
