Mullet
Mullet are sleek, silvery fish that often swim in schools near Southend Pier during the warmer months. They feed on algae and detritus, making them more challenging to catch than predatory fish. Anglers use bread or ground bait to attract mullet. Their cautious nature and strong fight when hooked make them a prized catch.
