Went out for a bit of late night Friday, early Saturday port fishing.

A friend an I did a bit of mullet chasing for the famed mullet run- my first. We didn’t see the numbers that had been there just days before, but we did find a few we were able to cast net and use as bait. Along with the finger mullet, we also got quite a bit of pilchards. We used both at first but the fish didn’t seem interested in the pilchards so we let them go.

The mullet we kept were prayed upon by Jacks, Bluefish, Catfish, Ladyfish and even an upper slot red my friend caught; pic attached. We did also see some bigger Snook too and could have sworn we hooked a couple but were broken off before we could get them in or near the boat to verify.

The gear used consisted of spinning reels spooled with 20 – 30 lb. braid with 40 or 60 lb. leader on M or MH 7 ft. + rods.
