Scratchie Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Shouldn’t be too far away! I know the salmon are starting to school up. The mullet normally run mid April- mid May. cheers scratchie!!! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the amount of water movement they could be sitting on the shelf! At a guess, they’d be sheltering in bays somewhere. Still a while before they run! I’m no expert on mullet, just from observations! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoods Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 I'm hearing you Scratchie. The Shelf is probably the safest place up here after watching the passing parade on the Manning River - 100's of silage balls, logs, shipping containers, boats, channel markers, houses, trees, cattle.... Checked the flood level on Saturday which just kicked above the 1978 flood level down the street - Not a 1 in 100 year event but still devastating to those affected. If we see any Mullet in the system I'll pass it on. Be intersting to see the impact of the floods on their movement this year!! Hoods 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some unforgettable images circulating. My best wishes go to all that are affected. 9 hours ago, jenk98 said: Hahah yeah I'm hearing you! Cheers for that, find the mullet find the ghosts?
