I have not fished live in quite a while, close as I get is gulp shrimp.
I tore up the Reds this year, only found a few trout so far, a mere 50 with the wife two weeks ago, and hope to continue to get after them soon...
The boat was a mess, so needed a good cleaning. A well waxed boat is so much easier to clean, and now keep a brush on board to get the slime out before it sun dries, while on the water.
I have been looking but not real hard for some mullet, like that for catfish bait, want to run some jugs later this fall in the ICW, see what happens.
Like your idea on the live mullet, they are much easier to handle.

Tide was falling hard and moving around a point I hadn't fished since I was in high school. Free lined the mullet into the current with a couple of split shots. It was easy. Had 21 in the boat in about an hour and it shut down. Caught the red on a spinner bait where in the cove that I found the bait. Windy and dirty but the water was pretty salty. I hate messing with live bait but mullet aren't that bad. When the waters dirty it doesn't feel like I am cheating either unless I have to use a cork.
