I would love for you, Brandt, and Beach Bum do a fundraising tournament for Ron or set up a donation drive for Ron at Beach Bum Outdoors. I love all of your videos.
Definitely spots. They school up and migrate in the fall. Those “popeye” mullet (or striped mullet) are commercially caught here in NC primarily for the roe, which have an asian market. That fish was once caught and placed in barrels and preserved with salt so folks had food thru the winter. They would remove and soak overnight in water to make them palatable. Mullet are a very healthy fish to eat due to fish oil. Some people remove guts, leave head and scales, grill them belly down. I prefer filet and fry. Not much meat though. All head and belly. The spots on the other hand….scale, dehead, gut, score, bread and fry. A seasonal delicacy. They freeze well also.. in water.
Nice video yes love snatching mullets lots of fun I moved back home down south but last year in Jacksonville I watch thousands and thousands running through downtown it was a sight to see I hurry up and grab a trouble 🪝😅💪🎣went to work
Great video and Thankyou for sharing Prayers for cameraman Ron and his family, great meeting you today in the store at Gulf Shores. I’m the man that moved from Arkansas.
It's better to eat them fresh than soak overnight. Bleeding helps. It also helps to trim the bloodline and if you push the filets inward it pushes up the bloodline to make it easier to trim accurately. The other fish are Spot and you had some nice ones. They taste like Croaker.
I have snatch hooked mullet many times when I was young in Brevard County FL where I was born in 1957 and raised till I moved to Houston TX in early 1976. Here in NC where I live now we net them mostly I like mullet fried or smoked the row is also very good fried if you like the taste of liver as that is what it tastes like to me. The other fish you was snagging up here we call them spot it is basically a spot tailed croaker also very good to eat fried in my opinion.
Only had mullet smoked, and the guy wyo smoked them really knew what he was doing. Just outstanding. Was hard to stop eating once you started. Hope you're mullet is good. Congratulations on having a girl.
Congrats on the baby girl! Back in the day, I used to work for Scale Company. On the westside of Florida. There was a small town, don't remember the name of the town. That they would call us to come down to repair and calibrate their scales. This was when the mullet were running. The boats would bring in 100s of lbs. of mullet. The funny part was they wanted the roe out of the fish not the fish them self'. The roe is the egg sack. It was sold over seas to Japan and other places. By the time it got to Japan it was 30 to 40 dollars a lb.. The fish it self was sold as crab bait. For two dollars or less a lb.
The cornmeal seasoned , then fried properly is the way to go with mullet. Roe is great, eapecially unfertilized. Smoked mullet is also great. Lovin' little man's 'do....❤
Aloha Brad. You can easily make your own weighted trebles. I used to buy a box of mustads and roll of hollow lead coil for snagging sockeye. A little cheaper.
Please, please, please use polarizer filters so we can see down in the water. That sandbar would have really shown up. I use the filter on all 7 of my old GoPro’s! Look into it, Brad! Thanx for the content!
Over where I grew up the snagging that we did was in the mississippi river for spoonbill We use hundred pound braid to haul them in otherwise you didn't stand a chance Love the video took me back to my younger years of snagging on the river
Congratulations!!!!! Also Ive always just smoked my mullet, and enjoyed with a dab of mustard, I’ve given it to other more refined mullet pallets and they do like it.
Those are some nice mullets, growing up in South Florida I use to fish for them around lake Okeechobee, and they get big I use to get some up to 10 pounds are better, they even get bigger than that, some people call them West Coast mullets, and they have big roe in them, I seen some big ones at narvarre one time, but didn't have a snack hook,, I love them pan fried using cornmeal, Thanks for the Content,,, STAY SAFE GOD BLESS,, 👍
diced scotch bonnet pepper ,half onion ,black pepper,salt in a bowl with water . with the mullet roast 3 mins each side , peel off skin and dip in mixture roasted roe is amazing
I used to snag mullet in Galveston. I used two 8/0 treble hooks on dropper loops and a 1/2-1 oz weight on the end. It looks something like a pompano rig. The mullet there are only for redfish bait. They’re too nasty to eat. Also snagged menhaden the same way.
Brad don’t know what you did wrong cooking the mullet but it is great. If you’re in Pensacola on a Thursday thur Saturday go to Chet’s on Navy boulevard across from the Flight Deck.I think they’re open from 11am to 3 pm. You will change your mind. ✌️
Hey Brad! we met each other In Cumberland store the day you filmed this video. It was nice to meet you! Let’s fish together one day! I have a small channel and I’d love to make some RUclips friends in our area!
Oh man, haven't seen this spot in a few years now, was actually thinking about it a few weeks back! Can't wait to see what's in there today. Is this spot near where Bum likes to wadefish in that "saltwater lake" spot? (If you know which one I mean)
All fish before seasons are added marinade with lime in case of small sharks curry powder someone from fort Pierce put m😮 on game 40 years ago in Abaco
There is a fat strip on its back it's right near the fin try taking that out it won't be as strong and if you decide to smoke it it's a whole different taste
I would love for you, Brandt, and Beach Bum do a fundraising tournament for Ron or set up a donation drive for Ron at Beach Bum Outdoors. I love all of your videos.
That fish was a spot.. They go crazy for those up here in eastern NC.. Good eating, should have kept those to fry up.
Man have u been to Kure pier when they’re running ridiculous amount of people
Good eating right there
@@Bobsandsinks Yep and Johnny Mercer pier in Wrightsville Beach
Not only good eating they make a great live bait , I’m up in Delaware and it’s one of the best live baits we can catch whatever with
My favorite way is to split, leave scales on, and remove inside. Place in a smoker and smoke them.
Kids are the best cameraman 😂 especially when they see something interesting and move the camera 😂😂 they’re the best

Freeze the roe and add to crab 🦀 pot bait!😮
Smoked mullet makes a killer dip
Congratulations on your new baby girl!
Congrats on adding that new baby girl to the family tree!!! Fishing was cool too.
Smoked mullet is fantastic.
Nice video yes love snatching mullets lots of fun I moved back home down south but last year in Jacksonville I watch thousands and thousands running through downtown it was a sight to see I hurry up and grab a trouble 🪝😅💪🎣went to work
Great video! Bleeding the mullet also help enhance flavor. Canned mullet is awesome.
Ron and his family are in our prayers.

Spots are king in N.C. and good eating
@@shadowexecutive3243 I agree Spots are King if I could go fishing this fall I would fish for them. Due to resent surgery's I am not able to go.
I love mulet it is a good eating fish .

Lovin' little man's 'do....❤
Definitely a spot. That's some good eating!!! Almost a delicacy here in coastal NC
Great video. I love them fried or smoked. Fry those back bones. Delicious!!!!
Aloha Brad. You can easily make your own weighted trebles. I used to buy a box of mustads and roll of hollow lead coil for snagging sockeye. A little cheaper.
that fish looks like a Southern Kingfish aka sea-mullet. never cooked one , Great video . Thanks for Sharing.
Nice change up Brad. Live the variety of fishing you are offering!
Use to snatch a ton of mullet in blackwater river. Deep fry em,and cook the backbones too.
My favorite way to cook mullet is in a smoker! You were really on them! I also used a cast net but you definitely made the right choice
Those other fish are Spot. Very tasty fish and those were some tanks!

Fried mullet is great and there yellow roe is good also
The best way is to smoke them. Fantastic.😊
Smoked Mullet is my favorite.
Congratulations and prayers for the new baby girl in the oven!
My grandparents absolutely loved mullet and the roe was something extra special for them! They would fry the roe and dip it in homemade cane syrup.
Congratulations!!!!! Also Ive always just smoked my mullet, and enjoyed with a dab of mustard, I’ve given it to other more refined mullet pallets and they do like it.
Bro, you may get this a lot, but your intro music gets me straight PUMPED! Slay on, brother.
The little fish was a spot that test great and they make amazing bait
Can pole rabbit feed & wigglers is a way we use also
Those are some nice mullets, growing up in South Florida I use to fish for them around lake Okeechobee, and they get big I use to get some up to 10 pounds are better, they even get bigger than that, some people call them West Coast mullets, and they have big roe in them, I seen some big ones at narvarre one time, but didn't have a snack hook,, I love them pan fried using cornmeal, Thanks for the Content,,, STAY SAFE GOD BLESS,, 👍
I remember those days growing up in South Florida, my parents would only eat the big West Coast mullet.
Great smoked mullet dip
Fry that row up for breakfast. It's a tasty treat. 😋
I love that the kids like fish and are willing to try new kinds
I like the backbone fried.
Had them smoked til they were like jerky; really good.
I'm not a fan of mullet either, but definitely needs to be eaten fresh.
diced scotch bonnet pepper ,half onion ,black pepper,salt in a bowl with water . with the mullet roast 3 mins each side , peel off skin and dip in mixture roasted roe is amazing
Sweet new hairstyle for the little man!
I used to snag mullet in Galveston. I used two 8/0 treble hooks on dropper loops and a 1/2-1 oz weight on the end. It looks something like a pompano rig. The mullet there are only for redfish bait. They’re too nasty to eat. Also snagged menhaden the same way.
Smoking mullet is the way to go! We call it Biloxi Bacon!!
Bleeding would help my friend. Frying is the best, just use your favorite batter. God bless.
Never snagged mullet, but use to snagged bunker for strip bass fishing!
Looks like a good day. See ya'll soon!
Smoke 'em !
Small ones, deep fry, large ones butterfly and smoke
Brad new subscriber here, I love to fish too . Watching from Hawaii.
Awesome! Thanks!
you should fry and eat the roe, it is fantastic
I catch mine using cane poles and worms or rod and reel and worms. I always fry mine.
You better call up Brandt for that fish fry!
My heart sank when you threw out all that delicious mullet roe!!! Great video. love some mullet.
that was a spot fish really good eating as well
Use to catch mullet in a cast net or with bread on a hook. Blackened it just like redfish.
Smoke and make fish dip that is spectacular
The key is cooking them fresh and trimming the dark lateral line away. Fresh is better than cooking them the next day, regardless of the marinade.
Brad , those are "Crookers" 🐟
Great to Eat and or Bait for Big Fish 🐠
Try that for sheepshead from the bridge.
Mullet has to be marinated and smoked and it is amazing then!
Spot and croaker or kinda similar to each other that was a spot you caught great video man 👍
I went to high school in PC and remember church fish frys…. Mullet. Great memories.
I like it smoked with mesquite👍👍👍
Good job,,👍
Spots!! We snagged over 100 mullet once off Dauphin Island pier one day back in the late 70's.
Brad don’t know what you did wrong cooking the mullet but it is great. If you’re in Pensacola on a Thursday thur Saturday go to Chet’s on Navy boulevard across from the Flight Deck.I think they’re open from 11am to 3 pm. You will change your mind. ✌️
Where in fla r u fishing at?
Smoked mullet is real big in coastal Georgia where I'm from. Not my thing, but it's very popular down there.
Brining the fish in buttermilk helps a lot with the fishy taste. It also adds a better flavor to the batter.
Thank you for mentioning Ron😊. My wife loves mullet. Me not so much😊
That was a spot or spot tail grunt I believe. They are great eating at that size
Mullet roe is delicious if cooked correctly!
roe is great bait if you cure it in salt, never had mullet since we dont have em here but looks like decent whitefish
Could you salt the roe and dry it out for bait?
Scale em filet them and put them in butter milk then in meal. Deep fry till they float, good Fer ya!
Looks like good shark bait
Hey Brad! we met each other In Cumberland store the day you filmed this video. It was nice to meet you! Let’s fish together one day! I have a small channel and I’d love to make some RUclips friends in our area!

Next time you catch some mullet, butterfly it with the scales on and smoke it.
All fish before seasons are added marinade with lime in case of small sharks curry powder someone from fort Pierce put m😮 on game 40 years ago in Abaco
Bleed them, but the backbone & tails are excellent
Roe is delicious dusted with seasoned flour and fried in bacon fat!
I don't no anything about saltwater fishing but the only time I used mullet was for bait,fresh water fishing for catfish
Yeah I have the same problem with my Mavic drone living by an airport until I bought an Autel evo you should check them out dude good fission
I love fishing that spillway
Where is this?
@@wojciech9231 its on the shelby lakes sifewalk
Hey dude. What kind of watch are you wearing in this video?
It has a different flavor because it's bait. 😂😂😂 Different strokes for different folks.
Congratulations
Back some years mullet were normally that big. Never really ate them only used as bait. My preference if I’d eat them was smoked over hardwood
There is a fat strip on its back it's right near the fin try taking that out it won't be as strong and if you decide to smoke it it's a whole different taste
I’ll try that next time. Thanks!
Hope you get a couple Roe mullet and fry up the roe! I would rather eat the roe than the fish!
i would have tried the roe fried , smoked the fish and made a dip
