I think the summer doldrums are in high gear about now. Nothing too exciting to report but just wanted to check in since it's been a while.

Put in at 6:30 at the lighthouse. Already hot and humid. Got a few blow-ups on topwater early but didn't hook up. Stayed close to some huge schools of mullet and eventually got three redfish, all about 20" and a nice 20" trout. Caught two of the redfish on a gold spoon and the other redfish and the trout on a jerk bait. Also got out my cast net and got 10 fat mullet on a couple of tosses.

There were as many mullet as I've seen in a long time. There was even a guy out there trying to give mullet away cause he had so many.

Met up with a friend and his two sons mid-morning and left them fishing cut mullet on the bottom near some oyster bars. While I was visiting, they had three redfish hookups and their line failed them every single time Probably time to change it out.

Loaded the boat back up around noon and like someone said in another post, it was like fishing on the surface of the sun by then.

Just had me some fried mullet. I honestly think they're about as good as any fish out there when same-day fresh.

Glad you got out there
I agree that mullet are about one of the best tasting fish.

Mmmmm Mullet Thanks for checking in Jim.

Good to hear from you, Jim.

I love me some fresh mullet.

Fresh fried mullets....

Funny thing about mullet. I love em....as Tony the Tiger says...fresh..they'er great. But they are a world wide distrubition fish...and the only place they are considered a delicacy...except 3rd world...is the southeastern US. I've lived all around the US while in the US Air Force....and they are treated as trash fish evervwhere else. People don't eat them. They use them for bait....but they don't eat them. You can't even buy them in fish markets. I was surprised no end to find that even in Charleston, SC fish markets I couldn"t buy them. Strange...but I love em. People don't know what they are missing.
