Freshies Tips
I had the pleasure of meeting and fishing with Kenneth Eady and his son McKay Bloodworth. As you already know the subject was fishing! Then we all saw at the same time a school of mullet jumping. This sight prompted us to start talking about this particular subject of "Fresh Water Fishing for Mega Mullet!" I will get this out of the way up front they had pictures of three pound mullet! Heck, the picture weighted 11/2 pounds! Now read on to find out how to get your chances at catching one of these "Mullets!"
Firstly, you need to make a run to you local "feed and seed store!" Now I ask, "who doesn't want to visit here?" You are going to need to purchase a large salt block and I suggest from what I was told a "large bag of "Laying pellets" for chicken or "pig food pellets." Whatever you decide to use it needs to be sinkable. They called it "mash!" At any rate, your feed and seed dealer will know what you are talking about, because normally they keep a lot of this sort of mash/pellets in stock.
The purchasing isn't over with yet. For your main line it's best to use 6-pound test monofilament line. For hooks they suggest #6 thin tinned hook, which works the best. You will need to some split shot also known as "B B" shot weights. As least that's what I called them. You are also going to need some small 2" inch banana floats with pegs. Some fishermen prefer the yellow floats to any other color. However, Kenneth and McKay say, "any old color float will do. It just has to be small." Now it time to think about bait. The bait is going to be "red wiggler worms." However, not any size will do. The best to use are the worms that are around 31/2 inches in length. I can't say, "that the tackle store will let you shake the worm boxes to see, but you could ask!" This story is long and as I write it gets longer…Next week I publish Part Two Oconee River Milledgeville, Georgia Scenario for catching "Mega Mullet!"
