Fish at the south mole

 Hey guys 

first post on the site and just looking for some help regarding what these fish ive been seeing might be.

Ive been heading to the south mole recently to pick up squid for big baits for the river and been seeing heaps of 3 - 5kg fish cruising close to the rocks. ive seen them in packs of 2 or 3 and sometimes just by themselves. my best guess would be mullet but hoping they might be some early season salmon, which might explain why theyre popping up only in small packs. plus ive only ever seen mullet in schools of 10+ and never outside of the river. never bothered to have a crack at them coz the gear that i take down for squid probly wouldnt stand up to them very well. any info or opinions would be great.

Also any tips on squidding from the rock walls around freo would be awesome as i only seem to be catching the littler ones and never more than 4 every 2 hour session

thanks

I’d say they would be buff bream. You’re not doing too bad on the squid so just keep at it the bigger ones will come. Maybe go a bigger jig.
