When to fish thick-lipped grey mullet in Netherlands

• Spring 1–15 ft — Use a quiet approach and light tackle around warming walls and mud margins.
• Summer 1–18 ft — Sight-fish individuals or small groups; heavy groundbait and tackle can spook them.
• Fall 2–22 ft — Focus on sheltered, sun-warmed reaches before fish move toward the coast.
• Winter 8–35 ft — Most mullet are scarce or inactive in cold estuary water; do not treat winter observations as a dependable fishery.
