Mullet are vegetarians, and are difficult (almost impossible) to catch on a hook. They can be snagged, but generally won't bite on bait. Mullet are easily caught with a cast net from seawalls, docks, or boat. They are good fried, and fantastic smoked, and make good fish spread.
So true. It was fun going out at high tide and casting a net. Often they would be feeding in a small cove of reeds or similar grass types. After we cast the net (a long one) we would sneak around and bang the bottom of the boat. The net would literally come alive with motion and we would have our fish. (along with jelly fish, crabs and occasional a ray). My Aunt would batter and fry them. Yum!
