This is the latest report I have seen:
Altamaha River – The river is falling out, but catfishing effort was tops on the river this week, and folks were catching decent numbers. It won’t be long before the mullet bite picks up if the river keeps falling. Connie at Jaycee Landing Bait and Tackle (912-588-9222) reported that a some bream, shellcrackers, and mullet were caught along with quite a few catfish. The river level was 3.9 feet and falling (84 degrees) at the Baxley gage, and 5.7 feet and falling at the Doctortown gage on Tuesday evening.

haven't heard of any moss. River has been up and down and muddy a lot of summer. Not conditions for moss. Get moss when it is clear and low. It is rising rapidly this weekend. It is around 64.8 feet now and Prediction is for around 68.2 by Monday and the water is not clear. The following is good reliable site to get a read on the river.

What kind of bait and rigs do you use to fish for mullet? I got a mullet hole at a place in South Carolina that we use Treble hooks to snag them with but I have always wanted to try and catch them with a baited hook.

yeah a friend told me today that moss had suddenly appeared. He is a shell cracker, bream fisherman and is really really good and he said he has had a horrible year. Can't locate the fish
In the past I fished the Oconee for mullet ever once in a while. We used that green moss that grows on the brick down in the well for bait.
What do ya`ll use for mullet nowadays?
