After having a good few poor sessions lately on the beaches, either blanks or small flatties and tings, I nipped out to my local Mullet spot for an hour, while she decided to go for a nap after work. On arrival, there was quite a few crabbers out in force, bloody Easter break, but one my favourite spots was free, loaded up the spinner and started flicking it out, within 5 mins a Mullet surfaced a few feet out, had a look at me and swam off, 5 mins after that I had one follow the spinner right to my feet before turning away, very annoying when they do that and don't take it.
A few more fruitless casts before, bang fish on, do love how Mullet hit the spinner, lots a splashing and jumping, which got all the crabbers oohing and he was in the net, not a biggy but a very welcome early fishy, probably around a pound n half.
A quick pic and then the question session started, wot is it mister?, you going to eat it mister?, can I have it mister?, Mullet, No!, Feck off!!. Fish back in the water, I resumed flicking hoping that he wasn't the only one out there, but after half an hour later I decided he was the only one and packed up, losing the spinner also gave me the nudge to pack up too.

Nice result especially for an hours fishing. Good angling
 
Mission accomplished. Well done on the mullet?
 
Well done Bob! Nice report & photo! Another one for the hunt. When you first mentioned Crabbers, I thought you meant fishing boats! ????
