X - my experience with Mullet is actually quite similar to Bass. Quite often I will not take the first shot when I see one or more Mullet as they will be spooked and shoot off. I immediately take a dive and lie on the bottom and in most cases the scared fish come straight back to take a look. In my limited experience the amount of time between scaring the fish and my dive seems to make a difference. The further the fish are away by the time you dive it seems like the less likely they are to come back - this might just be my imagination but it is almost like the pressure wave of my descent gets them curious and this over rides their initial flight reflex.

I even do this in 3m of water quite often with similar results.

Who knows whether this is right or not but this pattern of behavious has happened for me very frequently and I use it as a last resort if I miss the fish on the first go.
