I have a new, small pond in East Central Florida. I created a golden sand beach and drilled an artesian well that flows at 38 GPM to keep the pond level.
I cast netted about a dozen 6 to 8 inch mullet from a brackish lagoon and just threw them in the pond about a month ago.
The mullet are a blast to watch. They leap about 2 feet out of the water on occasion and I have seen them take spinach and pellets. They are strong swimmers. I also put about 100 blue tilapia fingerings in there as well.
In the winter when mullet are scarce I like to surf fish with cut mullet. I may just have a fresh bait supply ready to cast net up if needed. I can restock as needed.
Anyone else keep mullet? I would like to hear about your experiences. I may try other brackish species as well such as sheepshead and mangrove snapper.
