The mullet run is a massive migration of mullet along the east coast of Florida, from fingerlings to full grown adults. Along our stretch of coast, it starts in late August, peaks in September and October, and finishes up sometime in November. Just about every predator in Florida that feeds on mullet will move in for the feast.
Since I was just a kid, the Fall Mullet Run of September and October has always been my favorite time to fish Sebastian Inlet and the surrounding waters on the Space Coast. Mile-long schools of mullet line the beach as tarpon, sharks, jacks and king mackerel give chase -- fishing doesn't get much better than this! Whether you are fishing from a boat, fishing off the jetty or wade fishing the Lagoon, you can have a lot of fun and success during one of the greatest migrations on the planet right here in Central Florida!
I've written many articles over the years about the fall mullet run. I've used terms like frenzy, blitz, mayhem and frenetic to describe the fishing. Those are all good descriptors and are no exaggeration...
