from the pics it looks like there was water on the camera lense
the reason it looks as if there was water on the lense is the sand was well the term i use is ripple and there was water in between them.

Re: 2008 mullet picks atlast
the photos aren`t great but i still think its a thick lipped.the head looks very blunt.
next time you catch one check its top lip for small pimples.if it has some then its def not a golden grey.

Ir. Lannach; Fr. Muge noir, Mulet A grosses levres; Ge. Meerdsche; Du. Herder.

scales. No spines on head or gill-cover. Greyish in colour with lengthwise
dark streaks. Upper lip thick, with papillae; its greatest depth
more than half the diameter of the eye, jugular interspace (see illustration)
narrow and parallel when gills closed. Grows to more than 10
lb. Common on the Irish coast.
THIN-LIPPED GREY MULLET Liza ramada M. and B.
Fr. Muge, Mulet ramada; Ge. Grosskopf meedische;
Differs from previous species in thinner upper lip (greatest depth less

Well done Dan. Remember that not many anglers can say they ever caught a mullet. Good luck in your quest for these great sporting fish this year whatever colour they are. BTY mullet anglers don't smile, they just look smug.
