Good luck - let us know how you made out.
I haven't been to the shore this year and probably won't make it for a few weeks. Word around the internet is that it is starting off to be a stellar fall run. New England is fishing very well and the mullet run, by many accounts, has been excellent along the NJ shore.
Honestly, I've always felt the mullet run was a bit overrated..... more of a harbinger of the upcoming fishing season (much like the little stoneflies on trout streams in March). Whatever the case, the season has started and better fishing will follow.
Game on.
