The fall mullet run on the Gulf Coast is like rush hour for predators. Every gamefish with teeth lines up to ambush the schools, and this Puglisi mullet imitation is your express lane pass. Enrico's EP fibers create a translucent profile that looks eerily real in the water. Snook, tarpon, and jacks key on it the way commuters key on brake lights -- with aggressive, single-minded purpose.

The Summer Guide: Long Days and Willing Fish

Saltwater Forage: Matching the Bait
In saltwater fly fishing, there are no hatches — there is forage. Mullet, shrimp, crabs, baitfish, and worms drive every feeding event on the flats, in the surf, and along the mangrove edges. Understanding the forage base and matching it precisely is the difference between a fish of a lifetime and an empty line.
