Goodbye cast net... hello salad bowl. 👍

[@light487]

Tried this twice now this week and both times caught my 20 mullet in less than an hour. Actually once the mullet were running it only took 5 to 10 minutes to fill the trap each time. I love this method because then you get to pick and choose the mullet size you want. The first time I just grabbed the biggest ones, which were bigger than pilchards.. but didn't have much luck with them as live bait. The second time, I went with sizes no bigger than pilchards and it is a much better size for live bait. I took the kids the second time, and it was so much fun and educational for them to see all the fish and also the seagulls hanging around. Great stuff.

[@light487]

One thing I noticed is that you need to be there at the right time.. if an hour too early, they are all sleeping/resting. I found that around 10:30-11:00 am was much better than 9:00-9:30 am.

[@phillipzammit454]

Hi Roger, is that place somewhere in Pittwater?

[@mangojack1487]

If you initially throw a hand full of flour in the trap and shake it up it produces a milky trail coming out of the hole in the mesh. This acts as a “dinner is served” sign to initially show the mullet where to enter the trap.

[@meocehrstg8433]

[@grahamdonaldson29]

Really waiting for hooking and procedure for using poddy mullet for flathead fishing please, the rig etc, Thankyou

[@FishingWithFraser56]

I hook them just through there back. And I catch heaps of flathead and barramundi doing that

[@jaykeinnes6793]

Through the lip, not too far back on a dropper style rig(patnoster etc) with the sinker at the bottom so bait doesn't get weed caught around the bait. Have tested heaps of different ways and they live the longest loke this, goes though no tissue virtually and allows them to face the current unlike back hooking.

[@Mark-ew5jm]

Tuned in for the live….disappointed like many others I suspect with the internet issues…Some great tips there Roger and a very ingenious “mullet trap”. Great tip to check state regulations for size and bag limits for the mullet and also licence requirements. Really enjoy the videos.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Thanks Mark, I hope to do some lives in the coming weeks.

[@LocksmithSteve]

@@RogerOsborneFishing The internet has been playing up today, even up here in Cairns Qld.

[@DeeManGamez]

Definitely gonna give this a go. Have never put out a trap to catch small bait fish like poddy mullet. And from what I’ve seen live bait seems to be the best for quality fish.

Yes, live bait does attract quality fish :)

Moving from Qld I got a shock cast nets are banned in NSW, guess I'll have to make a trap. Thanks for the video.

[@LocksmithSteve]

Another ripper video Roger. Bait fish LOVE anything ' carbohydrate', bread as well as my secrete weapon, fine grated potato. I use a small fine grater to grate the spud straight into the water to attract Yackers, or grate a pingpong ball sized amount and just squeeze it into a ball, and use in a poddy trap. Great fun mate. Thanks for all your beaut video's.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

[@davidmcnamara7489]

Enjoyed this video. When we were kids, we used an old large lollie jar; the type of jar that was on the shelf in milk bars and comer shops. We’d fill it and mush the bread as you did. And we’d run out and put the lid on and bring it back in. We caught whitebait and mullet this way. We would drift them under a Bobby cork for flathead. Happy memories.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Awesome David, Thanks for sharing!! I used to do that too. Also used live prawns under a bobby cork to catch Flathead at night. Great memories.

[@stephennewman3480]

Great idea when we were kids in nz we use picked bottles or jars to catch small herrings on the same way in the small river where we use to live

Yes I remember doing the same

Thanks roger , as always, your video is very enjoyable, the set up , its so simple , but extremely effective along with few great tips. I was actually thinking of buying those expensive traps as I ve seen some people just do extremely well with live mullets. Cant wait to try this out on weekends!!. By the way , are those baits any good on beach fishing?? what tide do you prefer on catching them? Can we catch them at night as well with same trap?

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Thanks, Yes Mullet are great bait on the beach alive or dead. You can get them on all tides. I have not tried at night.

Mate your a legend. Tried your salad bowl idea for poddy mullet after watching it and was suprised how many we scored considering how many people hanging around. Just for kicks hooked one on and pulled in a near 60cm flatty. Can't wait to get the boat out with the salad bowl next time. Cheers mate

I had subscribed after watching your video on how to catch beach worms and it was amazing for one thing did not know that there were worms on the beach which is amazing as how nature works. But now that I watched your video on how to catch mullet my question is does it matter what kind of bread do you use and do you have to spray or squirt any kind of solution with a fish smell for them to swim into the bowl. Thank you for incredible videos.will continue to be watching.

[@hanoitripper1809]

Great tip I will try that but on the quiet bay / ocean

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

[@jtarryohpengyew8173]

Roger, Thank you for sharing, great tips. Here I use plastic bottle, put holes in it, put bread and the fishes swim in to take the bread and we got the fish. I really envy you. You had such a beautiful place to fish and plenty of fish too.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Thanks for sharing

[@hyiww]

Great tip! Tried it out today, but underestimated the tide… bowl gone… will try again next time, ha ha ha.

Hi W W, I always stay there and watch until there are enough Mullet in the bowl, then I get them.

[@gfrylives]

How easy is that. Ever since I collected soldier crabs for bream I rarely ever go back to buying bait. Thanks for sharing.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

You're welcome Jeff

[@benjaminhughes4620]

U make this look so easy I've tried a few times with minimal results

[@jonnywaselectric]

I find location is a big factor mate, jump in the car one day with a loaf of bread and go exploring. I've got a fancy $100 perspex trap and the first few times I used it I got nothing. I found my most productive spots are in canals with a bit of sand where I live. I would look on Google maps and try and find shallow spots like in the video, at the end of channels where there isn't much current racing along.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]
