Is mullet good bait?

I recently caught a few mullet and have been told its great gummy bait, but was wondering if anyone else has had success using iit as bait for other species of fish? I'm going try using it for squid under a float with a prong.

Yes Tboner, Mullet is good Gummy bait and you can use it to catch other species, they make even better live bait for Mulloway.

I'm not sure about using it to catch squid but I can't see why it wouldn't work.

There's no rules in fishing so why not give it a crack.

last year at stony point, i had caught an alright mullet, fillited it for bait, then chucked out 2 small fillets out for something bigger, and i noticed my rod kept pulsing forward, i just thought it was weed, or some type of stingray picking it up and dropping it, it wasn't until i decided to reel it in to see what was going on, untill i saw a big squid that had got himself hooked on my bait, dropped off ofcourse when i tried to lift it

but i don't see why a full mullet wouldn't work under a float. worth a try anyway if you do not have anything else.

Thanks SFP Guy and DaNiel J, I'll probably try for some squid tomorrow and try for a gummy later at night. Cheers guys

Yes, mullet is good bait for gummies and other type of sharks, and I’ve tried it before as live bait under a float from my boat and it caught me a big hammerhead shark … so it works well under a float.
