It’s Florida Mullet Run Time!

And just wait until you see this amazing footage from our friend BlacktipH (see his YouTube channel here).

Every fall the Florida Mullet Run produces some of the best saltwater fishing action in the state.

Countless amounts of mullet make their pilgrimage south to warmer waters where sea grass and algae grow during the winter, which also means more predatory fish following this run than you can count.

It’s a pretty phenomenal site to see!

Heck, our friend Capt. Jeff Maggio even named one his YouTube Channels “The Mullet Run” after it.

And we can’t blame him after watching this incredible mullet footage below.

Warning: If you fish yet don’t live in Florida, this video could have you hanging up your leaf rake for a fishing pole this fall.

Watch Tarpon, sharks, and other predators explode and get airborne on huge schools on the migrating mullet.

Finally, if you have any mullet run footage that can hands down beat this, then please send it to fish@saltstrong.com or just post the video in the comment section.

So far we haven’t found any mullet run footage that beats Blacktiph, but we would love to see it if it exists.

Enjoy.

One of the coolest parts about having a drone on the boat is being able to see what’s going on in the water from a bird’s perspective.

Check out this sweet drone footage from Rowdy Trouty that he captured recently in Tampa Bay.

Those mullet didn’t stand a chance!

Crazy how fast these dolphin can turn on a dime.

No wonder the inshore bite shuts down when these guys enter the scene.

Enjoy.

Well, if there was any doubting that the 2016 Mullet Run was in full effect, this brand new video will lay that to rest.

Check out the amazing drone footage that our friend Josh Jorgensen (aka BlacktipH) captured showing the Florida Mullet Run in action over the past week.

This is certainly some of the best mullet run footage I’ve ever seen.

The tarpon and sharks coming in and attacking is epic!

And I loved the view of the three people in the water having no idea what is going on around them.

Check it out!

Enjoy.

Looking forward to seeing more mullet run footage from you this fall Josh!

Did BlacktipH just beat his own top-ranked Mullet Run Footage from last year?

Either way, you’ve got to see this!

So earlier this year we posted some “Florida Mullet Run” footage from our friend Blacktiph that was the best we had ever seen… (you can view it here)

In fact, we went as far as challenging anyone to send us mullet run footage that could beat it.

And over the last 6 months that Mullet Run footage continued to be shared and viewed like crazy (to the tune of over 13,000 Facebook Like and Shares from Salt Strong viewers alone)…

During that time frame, no angler or videographer has been able to match the amazing footage from that video…

Until today…

Ironically, it was none other than BlacktipH himself that beat his own video footage!

Check out this unbelievable South Florida Mullet Run footage that he just uploaded to his BlacktipH YouTube channel.

Is this the best Florida Mullet Run footage of all time?

Let us know what you think in the comments.

Note: If you aren’t a Florida saltwater angler and have no idea what the Mullet Run is, it occurs when mullet start heading south on Florida’s east coast when water temperatures begin to drop. These migrating mullet are headed south to warmer water and where grasses and algae grow during the winter.

And once they reach the south point of Florida, the sexually mature fish head offshore and breed in the Gulf Stream where the fertilized eggs catch a move northbound with the current, and the mullet cycle starts all over again…

Team Googan (aka “Poseidon” – god of the sea and protector of all saltwater life) is no stranger to being featured on Salt Strong.

In fact, I think this is his 5th or 6th video that has made it as one of our Salt Strong featured videos.

And in this video, Team Googan puts all of his best stuff in the Ultimate “Run That Dog” Compilation…

Some of the fishing footage is from the actual South Florida Mullet Run, while others parts of from Team Googan showing how he catches monster fish year round in South Florida.

He’s kind of like the Honey Badger… Team Googan don’t care… he’ll catch fish any time of year…

Make sure to watch until the end as this video keeps getting better and better.

Another great video Team Googan!

If you have followed our friend Capt. Jeff Maggio (aka Lunkerdog) for any amount of time on YouTube, then you know that his favorite time of the year is the “The Florida Mullet Run”.

It’s like Christmas in Fall for Capt. Jeff…

Countless mullet pass through Capt. Jeff’s fishing grounds in South Florida, and he makes the absolute best of it every year… in fact, he coined the term “Happy Bait”, and has a massive following of anglers that tune it to his “Happy Bait Updates” throughout the Mullet Run.

This video below is some of the first footage of this year’s mullet run.

Check out Capt. Maggio as he shows you how to cast net for mullet, and gives you some “reel guy” behind the scenes views of the Ft. Lauderdale mullet run.

Enjoy!
