    What Mullet is this

    Hi all

    The attached mullet was caught in Bulimba Creek, Carindale (fresh)

    I was just wondering if anyone could tell me what species of mullet it is. I think it looks closest to a sea mullet. Would they be found in the fresh?

    Thanks

    Chris

    sea mullet do spawn in the rivers and yes.. sometimes the fresh..tho the yellow colouration of the eye might suggest its a yelloweye or estuary mullet

    Mugil cephalus yes its a sea mullet, they spend much of their life in the fresh and estuaries - they are bloody everywhere - as for the yellow eye mullet, they are a southern cousin, smaller in size than the sea mullet and a lot tastier too

    alot of saltwater fish spend time in the fresh. for breeding, feeding, getting rid of parasites and im sure a few other reasons as well.

    zeeke - I think you will find that mullet spawn at sea. Thats the reason for the annual mullet run.

    I caught it on a size 10 hook about 20cm under a small float, with a small piece of bread (about pea sized).

    Cheers

    Cheers, thanks. I live near there, might try some bread fishing when the weather isn't good enough to go out on the boat.
