Thread: Mullet on a rod?

I used to catch mullet and parore with my young boys in Whangarei at the Hatea River when the tide pushed up. They readily take dough made from flour and water, mixed until no longer sticky, or white bread squashed onto a small hook (size 8 from memory). The trick is to use enough bait and a long, light rod to cast the ball upstream and let it drift. Burley up first with small pieces of bread, until you have the fishes attention. Kids loved it, and bait for more serious fishing was sorted.
