If you’ve never caught a mullet on a fishing pole, then this may interest you. If you have then join the few that really enjoy fishing and will do almost anything to catch a different species.

On Halloween day, Karen and I decided to put all our extensive mullet research together and go fish a short while. Normally we fish for snapper or sheepshead this time of year.

It was Labor Day weekend that we had reservations to camp with our new trailer at the Upriver RV Resort, a mere 17 miles from our house up the Caloosahatchee River located in Southwestern Florida.

I rigged Matthew’s ultra light pole with a Styrofoam floater with 3 feet of 8 lb. leader and a worm hook, then I removed my floater and added a 3” Rapala lure to drag behind the kayak while we paddled to Dimple canal some 15 minutes away.
We saw a few mullet jumping, but no sign of Jack fish or much else except a few birds.
