Why do mullet jump?

[Maxibon93]

Is it because they are being chased or frightened by something else?

or do they just do it for no reason?

I always though they seemed to jump too often if it is because they are being chased by something.

I have always wondered this...

previous post offered some good thoughts on why mullet jump.. I'd just like to add that generally when i am fishing for bream ill have better odds of pulling some out when there are mullet around, although i dont know why.
I guess i dont need to i just fish where i can see the mullet.

Why did the Chicken cross the road ? We will never probably know,same as for jumping Mullet.I have wondered the same thing at times when I have been on the water, and seen them jump !

Maybe they dont actually jump. They might be like rockets when they fart underwater they take off.
