Striped Mullet

Also called: Mullet, Grey Mullet

Cylindrical silver-gray body with a broad head, small mouth, subtle dark side stripes, and two separated dorsal fins.

Coastal waters, estuaries, and lower freshwater reaches.

Schools in shallow water and feeds largely on algae, detritus, and small associated organisms.

Conventional predatory-fish lures are often ineffective; methods depend on local conditions and rules.

Keep separate from Striped Bass despite the similar common-name wording.
