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.

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.

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. :lol: :lol: :lol:
