had someone tell he caught some 'brown mullet' off sykes bridge. Since I know mullet won't eat bait, what the heck is he talking about? Anyone know what this might be?

Ground mullet and whiting are two different species. Ground mullet are really southern kingfish and usually have a mottled appearance while whiting AKA gulf kingfish are a sandy color with white bellies and silvery sides and often have a black tip on their tail. You here tourists call whiting sand sharks a lot on the beach.

not to de-rail, but if you use a #6 bream hook and some canned corn you can tear up the mullet. great fun for the kids!

i think whiting are very good to eat as well.

"Brown Mullet" may be a close kin to the popular "Brown Trout".  A very common catch at the discharge of the local sewage treatment plant.

Gulf kingfish are caught as far north as Virginia, I caught 2 last season, not bad tasting but full of bones.  Up there they call them roundheads.
