| Thanx Lance pity about the forecast,but im sure the marlin wont be running away in the near future. Im picking the weighstation will be hanging up some decent Blue Marlin very shortly. A few boats have been wasted on the Blues so its only a matter of time. Getting wind gusts at home around 25knts from S/W. I noticed that Mrs Palmer keeps on popping up catch sheets. |

Hmmm Ok you got my interest now Waldo and as the boat is all packed after coming back from Matarangi today it would be rude not to drag it north for a week especially with that big High on the way. See you Monday or Sunday if I get keen been home half a day and bored already

(Waldo)
I understand the Ray Bream and the blue shark, but the mullet?
Do they venture out to deeper water?
I thought that they stayed around the estuaries, river mouths and beaches.
Or are the marlin comming into the shallows (real shallow)
Can someone enlighten me to their migratory habits

All you ever needed to know about the humble mullet: Grey
mullet has a world wide distribution, occurring commonly along coasts,
in estuaries, and in lower river systems between latitudes of 42o N and 42o
S. Overseas and New Zealand tagging studies indicate that movement
patterns of adult grey mullet are complex. Some schools remain in one
locality, while others appear to be on the move almost continuously.
Recorded movements of tagged grey mullet of 160 km within a few weeks
of release are not uncommon. Females
grow faster than males and attain a larger size. Both sexes mature at 3
years of age at an average size of 33 cm fork length (FL) for males and
35 cm FL for females. Maximum ages appear to be 12 to 14 years, with
the commercial fishery based primarily on 5 to 9 year old fish. M was estimated from the equation M = loge100/maximum
age, where maximum age is the age to which 1% of the population
survives in an unexploited stock. Using 15 years for the maximum age
results in an estimate of M = 0.33. (Note: the maximum age of 15 years
was obtained from an exploited population, so M is likely to be less
than 0.33). Grey
mullet commonly occur in schools, which generally become larger and
more prevalent in the spawning season. Spawning in northern New Zealand
occurs during November through February. Females are highly fecund and
may release up to 1 million eggs at a spawning. It is likely that grey
mullet spawn at sea, because running-ripe females have only been caught
off coastal beaches or in offshore waters, and eggs and larvae are a
component of the offshore coastal plankton at certain times of the
year. Small post-larval grey mullet occur seasonally in estuaries,
which serve as nursery grounds for juveniles. Adult
grey mullet typically feed on diatom algae and small invertebrates
which are gulped along with surface scum or with detrital ooze and
sifted by fine teeth and gill-rakers.

I don't think he was happy about someone else bagging on fish on his reel when he has been trying for 19 years to get one  .
We plan to fish every 2nd thursday and one day in the weekend until the fish have all gone away.(if the weather plays ball) day trips to tuts.(boat based at the batch in Mangawhai)
