Thanks for sharing that StrangeLove. The huge mullet in your earlier picture:
... is much longer than any I've seen although I was lucky enough to see a huge one last year but no where near as long as the one shown, but much deeper in the body. ML mentions on his DVD that you will find different but recognisable variants of the grey mullet the world over.
As I usually dive alone, so I don't dive deep. I find doing aspetto/ambush by dropping into weed about 16ft (5+m) has worked best for me so far. However for mullet, I have started looking over my shoulder, behind and above me, having had groups of mullet sneak past me several time. My best mullet last year was shot like that, I looked over my shoulder and a shoal of about a dozen 4lb-ish mullet swam close by; unusually, they turned and headed towards me at first - perhaps I presented a smaller or less recognisable figure from that position? It was very exciting. Most of the mullet I have encountered were in shallower water though, with the fish swimming just below the surface.
[You're right OMD...the thought of the XXV is getting me in a spearing kind of mood
Trying not to get psyced up though, as April the last couple of years has been pretty disappointing.]
