Was at the dock today and seen what I thought were mullet hanging in the canal, but there was a black lateral line about 1/2" wide to the tail, and the tail was tipped black.

No pic, seen through costas in about 1' water. There were 5 of them from 5" to about 10" long.

In Mulat, so water is brackish.

any thoughts?

Those were probably small largemouth bass. It's not unusual to catch them in brackish water.
