Hi ! I got a couple of these juveniles in the gooi-net yesterday, it looks like baby leeries but I'm not entirely sure... If they are Leeries, then it's definitely a good sign for CPT !

 

[Maasbanker]

It had a "mottled" colouration...

Those are juvenile Leerie, pretty little things.

 

[Maasbanker]

 My suspicions exactly !!! I caught about 8 in the net yesterday ! Super stoked about the Leerie "nursery" found on my doorstep !

Thanks Stav !

 

[tyrrell]

True ! Quite a few of the mullet tails were mutilated, even the mullet in the 15-20cm range, had their tails munched ! mmmmm !

LOL! I put them in a small pool and they literally hid themselves "under" the mullet, their predator instincts kicks in at a young age I see !! LOL!!

The babies in the nursery are GROWING !! Roughly 2 weeks since the first pics and they doubled in size !

 

[Maasbanker]

another

Just thought i'd keep the Sealiners informed that CPT will soon be the Leerie capital of SA ! LOL!

 

[SUNSHINE]

Great to see

 

[Maasbanker]

I wonder if they really grow this fast or is this a "different" school I caught?

You'd better hold onto them tightly, they have a tendency of moving up-coast when they reach size

Get yourself a 2wt or 3wt fly rod and some salty buggers and small pink and white clousers and cast at them.
