Nice fish for the Mediterranean anyway
Cefalos, Sargos,Dotto,Orata, Cernia/mero,
(jumping mullet)(ring tail porgies)(mottled grouper)(Gilthead bream-it has a black dot behind the gill)(dusky grouper)

Having lived in Sardinia where I learned to spearfish I can fully apreciate the sadisfaction you guys get from shooting those small fish.
When I was 12 the first "good fish" I got was a big jumpping mullet like that one with my 60cm Technisub airgun and for some reason I remember that hunt like it was yesterday while I forgot the majority of big grouper and snapper and wahoo I shot here...the excitement of outsmarting a weary fish ahh ha! what a feeling.

Keep up the good work and I'll try to find some inspiring med photos for your next dives, ciao,

Mark,
I don't see a mullet. There is however a nice triggerfish and a small amberjack. Good job Murat!
I grew up in Greece and know all about how tough is to get these fish.

Angelos, look again I know fish.
In the "LINK" he mentioned there are two small Med Aj's in a frying pan, a Sargo, an "Orata", a small Corvina that you Greeks call "Corvos" and the small mullet is in the center.

Most americans looking at your fish must be wondering what you are doing wasting your time and money getting excited about these small fish but the emotion and excitement Med hunting evokes is hard to comprehend through your crummy (sorry ) pictures. So I thought maybe this would help your cause as it is the moments like this most Med-Spearos long for.

Where's the insert image link guys?
