Mullet bait?

Just wondering what you guys think is the best way to catch mullet on a regular basis?

 

been told bread wrapped around tight on the hook works. also been told corn works, and also been told that burley wrapped tightly works aswell?

 

went down today and found a massive school with the biggest mullet i have ever seen, ended up getting 3 on metal slices. Some other guys down there were using little plastics and they were saying some days theyre on ever cast, other days they wouldnt even touch the bait.

Dough

Bakers dough rolled up in a ball on your hook is probably the best but young Jeffree in the site has been doing great things recently on tinned corn.

As Snappermiles says,the  square hook method is best, just sit back and watch the splashes.

Mince meat, curry powder and semolina - pressed into a burley spring and use red meat or prawns or pretty near anything on the hook - works a treat and the better quality the curry powder the better it seems to work .............and dont ask me why but it really gets them into a feeding frenzy
