Float baits for mullet?

Hey lads, i'm going to try my luck for mullet tomorrow evening (might aswell while the bass ban is on) using a float rig and bread. Just wondering what other bait works well if they dont fancy the bread?

Never thought of liver for mullet that's a stroke of genius , and never had a look at a Pollocks liver when gutted . Have been using liver for chub and barbel in the rivers for years but never thought of it for the sea , wonder what a conger would think of a lump of bleeding pigs liver waving around in front of him ?

BEWARE of premature balding when you are after Mullet, it is one fish that does make you pull your hair out lol

I've caught them on bread, maggots, rag worm and fish scraps.
