During the Gaalng-gaan (blue tail mullet) season, the fish go upriver to feed, and this is when the Guugu Yimithirr Men hunt the Gaalng-gaan and when the Gaalng-gaan is fat. You need to be good with the gaalga (spear) and Milbirr (woomera) to spear the Gaalng-gaan, or in Guugu Yimithirr, we call this hunter the Mala Minha. You have to be in a straight alignment with the fish to take a shot.
