Boatless Fishing Forum, Reports, Info

Spent the weekend in Daytona on the beach. From the balcony could see loads of mullet night and day getting worked pretty good.The schools were from an acre to a football field and mainly fingers. They were in no rush to move so I think they are stacking and waiting on a good storm to move south.

Thank you, I am going up that way next weekend to fish

And So the Mullet RUN Thread Begins for 2014 I was waiting for the first to post and the Ambassador has spoken.

Tommy seems pretty confident it may be early this year. I have faith in his salty spot on predictions. I am looking forward to an dark, wet morning stroll through the Anglins planks as we all try to catch our share. In the dog days of summer, I miss the cool autumn breeze. Looking forward to it!

From the amount of mullet I saw and their actions, I feel they are stacking up early and just waiting on a good storm to start moving. I go to Daytona this weekend every year for the last 7 years and this is the first time I have seen fingers on the beach there and also the most I have ever seen.The snook , jacks, tarpon, sharks and dolphin were working them hard. Typical the one year I don't bring a rod this happens.

If anyone wants to head off the beach and work the pods lmk

They are also thick in port canaveral...

Also starting to see pods of white bait passing Anglins Pier heading south yesterday against the North current, this last week a lot of glass minnows moving to which would say Spanish Macks should be starting to move in.

i cant wait im buying a new rod just to slam a couple fish

are there any limitations on where and when you can surf first daytona? I might be going by there next weekend?

Never done this kind of fishing, since I got a lot time, gonna give it a try sounds fun with action.

I have fished the beaches by the pier and never had an issue. Ponce Inlet would be another great option in the area. I have done great there.

good luck lol

i have it already fishing machine lol zzzzzzzzzz go to sleep

I stole this picture from another public web site. a small pod of fingers on fort lauderdale beach.
I was also told there was small pod of fingers at night anglin pier.

so i confirmed I'm going to Orlando next Friday. I wanna come back along the coast and surf fish Saturday. Can anyone recommend and surf spots by the Port Canaveral area? hoping for sum mullet action?

If it means anything, I saw my first couple of sharks jumping near the outer edge of the far sandbar this past weekend. First time since February I think. Palm beach. Anyone have reports of blue fish yet or is it still a bit early?

which way was the wind blowing today did anyone notice ?

ohh yeah opening day might be pretty good

Blowing that one direction that gets most people on the forums juices flowing this is where most people who have a clue stop posting reports until it's all over and then the "pic heavy" reports pour in. That's a another clue for those who don't know, start paying attention to the water and don't wait for reports to come in. You'll be too late internet princess!

This is good info here so listen

Ok so I loaded my Expedition with my gear and took my first ride north Saturday - Sunday I did not fish because I am scouting though when I reach Sebastian it was very close but I had the Girls with me and I promised them I would just scout so I took them to numerous places from Fort Lauderdale north to St augustine yes the little one was hating life. I saw bait Small Sardines, glass minnows and some pilchards almost everywhere I went which was Boynton Inlet - just North of Jupiter - Vero Beach - Sebastian Inlet - these two I only saw some mullet and not a ton Ponce Inlet - St Augustine.

I saw mullet in the back waters on my drive except for Sebastian there was some just north on Melbourne Beach also and some around Ponce inlet nothing to write home about but you could see like Chris said they are amassing and its getting close, while I was at Sebastian saw permit and some nice chunky Reds caught, no one was fishing for the Permits not sure why or maybe they did not see them, snook were everywhere and some nice Mangroves.

The water was perfect color and really has me revving to get to fishing to the north, but I am going to probably hit the snook on opening day down south and then go north and we will have to see what happens around here the next couple of days.

Spanish Macks are back in the area for sure so things are moving in the right direction.

Fishing is never simple

I saw medium pod of mullets on pompano pier, shallow water on Saturday afternoon. It was 1 LB. I threw net and caught some... I don't know if these mullets were from North or South...They may be a little too big for snook to swallow.

Let me dispose of those properly for you.

No such thing. I've caught snook on mullet that were 3/4 their size.

OK, sounds like all size mullets are snook candy?

What is your preference between 4 - 5" finger mullet and a ft long mullet?
