The guy is on a fishing forum, he wants to ask fishing questions, it's not unreasonable to expect some advice from other members on how to go about it.

It's an exhilarating feeling catching a fish
But it's an even better feeling releasing them

I will definitely use burley, so the breadcrumbs with water would not be as effective as the pellets?

No restrictions on how much you post , if your not offending someone or trolling anyone what's the issue..
Each to their own imo

I notice that some have said that the Yarra is full of mullet ... if so, where and how do I actually catch some in said river? ... Signed, a long suffering mulloway afficianado.

When I used to catch livies in the Yarra, I'd berley the crap out of a spot, then put a tiny piece of chicken on a fly hook. Toss it in unweighted...Boom, a fish a cast. Sometimes I'd put on a tiny split-shot if I needed a bit of distance in the cast.

They can be caught anywhere in the Yarra, Docklands etc. it just takes them a little while to follow the berley trail back.

If you are fishing an area with little or no current, breadcrumbs soaked in water with a dash of tuna oil is the go. You want to create a very watery mix. As you throw a handful sparingly, you want to create a "mist" of burley throughout the water column. It will bring the mullet to you, without actually feeding them...until they find a bait with your hook in it. In this situation I prefer a float rig. Cast out, and ever so slowly retrieve it. This allows you to be constantly in touch with everything that's going on with your bait. It also makes the bait more appealing to a mullet working the bait in this fashion. Hook size depends on the fish available. Long shank size 6-14. Small pieces of chicken for bait.
If fishing an area with current, chook pellets in a small burley pot hanging in the water is the go. Only half fill it though, as chook pellets expand, before turning into a similar texture as the breadcrumbs. A paternoster rig with same hooks as suggested earlier. Chicken or small pieces of pilchard fillet for bait.
First or last light, or around tide changes are the peak times. They can be caught pretty much anywhere that contains a bit of salt.
Well, the rest is up to you. I've caught thousands of the buggers for livies over the years and these methods have worked well for me.
