Was thinking of running offshore and chumming and live baiting with mullet.?..any thoughts..seems like it would produce.

Read an article in saltwater sportsman (I think) about mullet being the perfect bait for all situations. They were bridging them through the shoulder and using a rubber band to attach the hook. I'll try and find it and attach the link. Good luck. Let us know how you do, I haven't got to try it but the article had me convinced it would work.

catch some pogies and drift the cones i do it a couple of times a year in my bay boat when the weather is right. Always have ended up getting some quality fish plus with the current you can cover a lot ground I don't even put the motor in gear if the stream is ripping just steer it

The phin in my profile pic was caught on a free-lined mullet in 125ft off Bethel.
ANYTHING will eat a live mullet.
Wire rig a larger 10-12" one and send it down on the downrigger for wahoo. You can also split tail them and use a 1-3oz chin weight with awesome results up to 9mph or so trolling.

I think if you put anything alive in front of dolphin you increase your chances like mad. When we get on a school we try to start with artificial and catch them until they get lockjaw then try livies.

Mullet fillets slow trolled work well offshore too.
