Combe Martin SAC member John Shapland is a dedicated mullet angler and focusses his efforts these days on this species to the exclusion of all others. In recent sessions he has tempted specimens of 4lb 10oz, 4lb 10oz, 4lb 4oz, 4lb 4oz, 4lb 4oz, 3lb 15oz and 3lb 12oz.
Thin lipped grey mullet are often caught using baited spinners typically a Mepps with a small trailing single hook baited with ragworm. They can also be tempted using fly fishing tactics and can offer fine sport on this light tackle.
