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.

Do Mahi ever make it in close enought to the pier to catch?  That is probably my favorite fish to eat (although I have yet to try pompano so I'll reserve judgement until then, I hear you guys praising pompano a lot in the forum so I can't wait to try some).

I use to work on the Pensacola Fishing Pier and i recall on several occasions where we caught several chicken dolphins. I remember one time about 13 of them came through all together. I hooked one, chickenbone, j hogue and couple others. It was a blast because it had been slow all day except for the pomps.

Back in the mid 80's, around St Marks, we used to catch Dolphin (Mahi) in the 18-24in range when the grass beds would blow in.  We werent more than a few hundred yards off the beach.
