Alongside our first video which broadly covered all the elements of float fishing for thick lipped mullet (https://youtu.be/wXC20AgTocc), we ran a competition in which the best question asked by one of our viewers would win the complete set of equipment used by Hookpoint's Ben Conway in the film. We've had a fantastic response and so many good questions so now it's time to answer them!
Along with the answers to your questions, there's plenty of new footage from the stunning Cornish coastline and some beautiful silver mullet to boot!
