That grey mullet under the pontoon is probably older than your dog.
Thick-lipped grey mullet / diklipharder (Chelon labrosus)
- Males mature at 9 years and 42 cm, females at 11 years and 47 cm (UK waters)
- A 45 cm fish may never have spawned
- He grazes algae off the walls and skims the film on the surface, which is why he ignores your bait
- Fine in brackish water: mullet even get caught in the canals of Amsterdam
- Want one? Small hook, a little piece of white bread, and chum with oatmeal
- Lives up to 25 years and reaches 70 cm
How big do mullet get in your harbour?
