Romy's Mud Shrimp
Mud-flat essential
MulletShallow
MacLeod's essential for mullet that rush onto flooded mud to feed on Corophium and tiny crustaceans. One of the most productive mullet patterns on the right tide.
Fish this when
Flooding mud flats, estuary creeks, mullet tailing over soft mud. The incoming tide with mullet visibly moving up the flat.
Why it works
Matches Corophium volutator — the mud shrimp that is abundant in estuarine mud and a primary mullet food. MacLeod specifically connects this pattern to mud-flat feeding behaviour.
