Benji-martin Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Hey everyone, Today was Jewish day. With the tide turning at 5pm I thought it was the best time to go and try and catch a Jew. It was overcast and raining on and off which kept a lot of boats off the water do made conditions even better. I got down to the marina about 1:30pm. I burleyed up some mullet and in about 30min I had 5 ranging from 15cm - 21cm. Put the air filter on and headed down to the breakwall. My faviorte rock was free so off to a good start. By the time I was rigged up it was 2:45. The next. 3 hours were spent gong through the live bait. I ended up with nothing which goes for all the people fishing on both sides no one got a thing. Thinking day 13 is a trip to the fad if conditions suit. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any mullet over 30 goes into a seperate bag limit of 20.So you can have 40 in total , 20 bait and 20 to eat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benji-martin Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 I thaught that was for the sea bull mullet only, locals up here have told me these are sand mullet and I could not find a size limit on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beats workin Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 mate your right you are allowed 20 for bait as long as they are under 15cm this size is what is referred to as a poddy mullet and the species does not matter as juvenile mullet are very difficult to distinguish at that size. But you are right also that sand mullet dont have a size limit.maybe someone could clarify how this rule is interpreted.I googled poddy mullet and it seems to include all species under 15cm.I also googled sand mullet and this just confuses it even more.
