You could try a small snagging set up, we snag peanut bunker here in the fall and it works pretty well... salt

You could try a seine net if you can wade where you want to catch them but it may be difficult with all the snags you mentioned. In my experience snagging hooks do not work nearly as well on mullet as they do on bunker. The mullets scales are a little tougher, and they may react to the line in the water also.

I saw guys flyfishing for big mullet on Carolina Outdoor Journal. Looked like a hoot.
Shark123 is on it w/ the cane pole of bream buster. Go to a fly shop and pick up some #16 or smaller hooks.
