Turns out im even more of a newbie than i thought ive been catching Mullet and thinking they were Bass for the last week :/ Still a 3.5 lbs Mullet is ok isn't it ? I was thinking it wasn't tasting quite as nice though
Mullet have spines too dont they ? But the dorsal fin is a different shape to a Bass - like a fan with 4 spikes?
The other reason I assumed they were Bass because they were exhibiting the same behaviour as solitary Bass, ie, lurking motionless in the sea weed in shallow water. I thought Mullet were shoaling fish ?
