Lemos, They are pretty! We have a few different varieties down here. They're real feisty in a tank too. Used to feed 'em grasshoppers!
Pat, mullet are a funny fish. They live in saltwater, brackish, and freshwater. They'll swim miles up rivers. The ones you saw were at blue springs which is at least a 100 mile swim from the ocean. They get huge in the springs too. I've seen 20" mullet in spring runs.
Koan, Thanks! The support among you guys really means a lot!
