Habitat
White mullet inhabit shallow coastal waters, bays, and estuaries, often forming large schools in grass flats and near shorelines. They are commonly caught with cast nets for use as bait, though some anglers target them with small hooks and bread or other plant matter. They frequently jump when hooked or startled.
