Hungry predators follow- jack crevalle, king mackerel, redfish, sharks, and others. At frequent intervals hundreds of mullet leap skyward in terror, showering out of the water, trying to escape the death that lunges after them from below. Consequently surf fishing there usually is not what it otherwise might be. During the mullet run though, the waters teem with fish. I've seen kingfish skyrocketing mullet within casting distance of the beach.
Jacks are frequent catches.
Redfish make up part of the catch, too. We got plenty of action from jacks with popping bugs and from reds with the various large streamers. Cumberland's beach runs the length of the island. The dunes lining the western side of the beach are incredibly beautiful, especially around sunrise and sunset. Already mentioned are the horses that graze on the beach, ignoring you while you fish or look for shells.
