Mullet Run

[Bakerman]

The mullet run is going on in Jacksonville.  Lately on the incomming if the weather is right I have this going on outside my office window.  Mullet getting hit by the tarpon and jacks.



 

It is usually over when I can launch the boat and go fishing.  Responsibilities getting in the way of fun again.  My wife says to take a rod to work and fish during lunch. It never happens close during lunch.

That's an awesome sight !!

I can remember, as a teenager, seeing acres and acres of mullet and pogies running the beaches along the SC coastline.    Don't see that too often anymore... and that's a shame.

There have been a few schools that streched from the boil to the distant point in the photo. Cell phone camera didn't catch any fish actually displaying but they did.

I remember the schools of mullet so thick coming up the Caloosahatchee River, that it looked as if you could walk on them. And when the Tarpon would come in and start slamming the schools, you could here the roar of all that commotion a mile away. I'll never forget things like that. Thanks for sharing the photo.
