Re: Mullet jumping daily 17 ave north, north shore drive

I was out there last week and got my 5. Actually I hit 7 on one shot and threw two with "white row" back. Good thing I did too because right after FWC came around checking everyone.

Re: Mullet jumping daily 17 ave north, north shore drive

FYI Some years ago the FWC enforced a county regulation of no spearfishing in state waters off Citrus county(9 miles out). This regulation was not legal as fishing rules are a state domaine. Now if the limited mullet rule is Pinellas, or St Pete, I would venture that they don't have authority to make such a rule. It took many letters and calls and over a year to get the state to notify FWC Citrus that it was legal to spear in state waters off the county.

Re: Mullet jumping daily 17 ave north, north shore drive

some years ago they designated the area between the pier and the gandy bridge as a mullet spawning area,well the brain surgeons at fwc should know by now that mullet spawn offshore,plus the residents on coffee pot bayou got tired of the gillnetters getting drunk and pissing on their lawns,

They didn't throw 3 minutes too late. You threw on the front of the school and probably not even on the "Meat" school.. People are out there making a living and you were called everyname in the book because you were Wrong.. If you are going to cast then wait till the tail end of the school.. Just a lesson learned...

Thats the truth. I thought I'd be a mullet guy after high school and made this same mistake. You only screw up once around those guys though.

Re: Mullet jumping daily 17 ave north, north shore drive

Just so you guys know I have my commercial SPL and I know how to net mullet VERY well. I DID throw on the meat. I let the school come out to the point the bottom was black way out. The guys were sleeping on the seawall and I wasnt going to let the fish just go on by untouched. So before you make accusations be sure you know what your talking about. Im by far a newbie to fishing and netting!

Re: Mullet jumping daily 17 ave north, north shore drive

Enjoy it while it lasts. Mullet fishing in Florida is a tradition. But eventually even mullet will be off limits. They are an important food fish for larger predators - which we all know are in danger and in need of protection. And we certainly know as much about mullet population dynamics as we do about bottom fishes.

by the way, SkremenGSXR, perhaps your kids could be both honors students and good at fishing. Just a thought. Not much of a future these days being a mediocre student who can fish. See what I mean?
