Interesting data - a 1 metre mulloway could be as young as 4 years or as old as maybe 15. I guess the variation is the result of food availability? Or maybe some fish have genes that make them bigger? Fish release program seems like a great idea but I hope DPI are confident there are enough mullet, worms and other stuff for the mulloway to eat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jewies will eat just about anything that swims or crawls. I have caught a few early in the morning with a belly full of fresh nippers, so I assume they would be swimming into shallow water at night and sucking up a few nippers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
