Mayhem Behind the Mullet
Every year in the late fall the Mullet migration takes an uncanny amount of Mullet on a journey along Florida's southeast coast. Many predators are not far behind including Tarpon . Some of the other species that hunt and absolutely thrive on this multitude of bait are Red Drum, Snook, Speckled Sea Trout, Jack Crevalle, Mackerel, Cobia, and Sharks. Just like Shrimp, everything in the ocean that is big enough pretty much will eat a Mullet. This time of the year is a blessing for anglers as well for they have the opportunity to target many of these inshore game fish.
Just like the Cobia migration earlier in the year, this same pattern brings forth schools of Silver King Tarpon of all sizes to feed on the chaos. Tarpon which run up to 6-7' are often caught and released within this mayhem. It is a great time for anglers from novice to experienced to take part in their desired action. Whether chasing the schools of Reds and Snook or targetting the largest inshore gamefish in the world, the Tarpon, you will not be disappointed with the late fall Mullet Run along Florida's coast. This may be one of the best times of year to fish for the species listed;
