In South Carolina. All the time.
Way down Bainbridge is the only other place
I know where you can catch them to eat or for bait.
There must be some near coastal GA.
I just don't go there much anymore.
But yeah, they will catch them.

Take a 5 gallon bucket to your local fish house, they will usually fill it as they clean fish. I used to do this before going shark fishing, just put in freezer, ready to chum when you start fishing.
That's the problem, we don't have a fish house. Ingles is the only grocery store to that's low brow enough to even have a mullet, and it comes in already dressed on a tray.
If I go to Atlanta, I will stop by one of the Asian markets or Dekalb Farmer's market and get some fresh mullet.
We used to have an excellent fish house, but it is long gone.

It's not great bait for cut bait due to the fact that they don't bleed. However, live, I have caught many 50 lbers on them. But be advised that a 12 inch mullet in the bait tank is almost impossible to get out. LOL, anybody out there who has tried it is laughing because they know. They are a blast to catch on rod and reel. They are sight feeders. In the Peedee river they eat moss and musscels. We fish with marsh mellows and set the hook the moment we see them about to take it. If you don't set the hook fast, they spit it out. We use a white cork, to draw their attention, affixed at the end of the line, then the marshmellow, 15 inches in front, the line not tight but no slack, keeping the marshmellow on top, then don't take your eyes off it
