You should do fine.  I would go with the mullet all the way.  Blues are everywhere, but, you have to fish and not dead stick.  Use a circle hook and let them hook themselves.  If you don't have a needle to pass it through the mullet slide the hook through the mouth and out the gills and put the tip of the hook through the skin just in front of the tail. 

And hang on...

Happy Catching

Like I mentioned in another post.  You have to set the hook close to the tails.  Put the hook through the mouth and out the gills and set the point of the hook somewhere back by the tail of the mullet.

There is too much bait around for plugging off the surf right now.  Metals is the way to go.  All your fish are for the most part sticking close to the bottom.  Wait till the large schools go by and the water cools down a bit.
