You know the way to cook mullet between two bricks or concrete blocks if is 5lb?
I dont Mart no but hes cooking this one for all of us. He said he does it in foil in oven with white wine garlic and chilli. We just had ours plain in foil to taste the fish and I reckon its as nice as bass with less bones :)
 
QUOTE="Jonny250, post: 936501, member: 14189"]well done rockie.
So a bit more info; we went in on thefrom divers coast with the usualhaveletk down from St Martins point car park. from the cliffs the vis looHavelet I but in the water imullet nly themoment 2m above the bottom that was clear. it was good fuswimmingknew i was going to have a hard time swimming out with the monofin - it was hard! once out i had horrendous cramps as the footpockets felt pretty tight [i dont use the monofin very often]. got over it after the first hour and settled into some drops. There was quite a lot to see over the sand and gravel - a nice chancre, cuttle fish and the plaice, plus a few scollies to take back.
I had intentionally left my weight vest in the car and was using my ankle weights on the end of my float line as a marker, so only had 4kg on the belt altogether, but even so, the monofin is like rocket-propelled compared to bifins and i was hitting the bottom super fast, but also using too much energy on the way down, so breathholds werent good. i need a lot more practice with it !!!
it was a good day and good company.
There's a lot more adventures to be had in that area - we need to get the kayaks sorted out... :)[/QUOTE]
Thanks mate. I know theyre at bottom of steps left a bit but i am too lazy to walk back up :) i heard from divers you can get them in havelet but i didnt see one and i was at just over 7m at low tide today. Havelet is teaming with big mullet at the moment you can see them jumping all over the bay but like swimming in milk!! Bottom is clear though prob 2m. Good luck with monofin Johnny sounds like fun i am still getting used to power of my omer stingrays just done walking apnea 1'15 well chuffed
 
[QUOTbrilliant pirit, post: 936502, member: 23917"]Went mackerelling on the East coast this afternoon. When I pulled up a string, a porbeagle at least 6ft long followed it up and made a lunge for the fish on the surface. My mate saw the tail over the gunwale as it flipped out of the water. I stood there astounded, fish dangling above the water and it came for a second go, leapt out of the water and grabbed a mackerel and swam off, still attached to my line. Had it on the line for about 5 seconds before the hook was cut off cleanly.

Talk about the one that got away![/QUOTE]
Haha brilliant you should get a job at news of the world :)

Sorry about rocky guys my mrs likes them to eat. Nice mullet though west coast this time. Both good shots too behind head. Going to rest for a bit now been in last 3 days
 
Great East coast trip out last night with Kerin, plenty of fish seen, more just as it was getting dark and time to get out. Viz was bad in a number of places but generally good enough all round. Missed a shot on a stonker of a mullet, must have been at least 5lb+, loomed up out the bootlace and thought this was my lucky day with a big bass, saw a nice long nose go past but too far away for a shot, lots of stories from Kerin of some nice bass that got away.
