Fish ID?

[Chamelion]

Hi there,

Was at the Sunshine Plaza today and gazed down to the water to see a fish I've seen around there before. I'd love to know what it is..

Best description I can give:

60cm long
Dark grey
Slender, perhaps 15-18cm thick
Large scales
From the above perspective it had a thin white strip around the curve of its head/nose

One internet for the person who can tell me what it is and if it'll take a lure.

Did you see them in numbers? Those fellas are rare to see and catch!

I would have said a Diamond Scaled Mullet.
