Do bass Jump?

Saw some fish jumping clean ot of the water very close to shore, in an area full of Mullett on the east coast and not too far from bass marks. The area looks what is regarede as bassy I suppose (not too well up on Bass I am afraid). I thought they were S.Trout but I got a bit of a look as one cleared the water and it was more stubby that the Trout.

Mullet will jump clear of the water.

Ya them mullet seem to prefer being out of da water than in it a think bass only jump when the smashing the shite out of a chug bug

i have seen bass jump, but only very rare...i wondered if something was chasing them...normally i would say no they dont.....
Ya mullet do all the time .....

I used to see them regularly jump at the back of the east and west piers Dun Laoghaoire very close in but that was years ago.
Also they used to be about the 6lb+ mark never caught any though and always just one jumping at a time.

Mullet will jump clear of the water.

i never knew that, always think of them as dopey layabouts ......... untill hooked that is Thanks all.

well... they do stay low in the water bytween rocks and kelp and gully's and attack prey fish as they swim overhead...so maybe they breach sometimes.....i saw pollack attacking sprats like that once and what a show they put on!!!
I caught loads too in the mayhem!!!

they do jump and if they are jumping get out your lure,s cos they are so busy chasing bait fish they wont even sniff at bait!save it till it gets dark

They do when they see Cortaz coming
