This Tuesday morning has yielded a gulf flatty and a remora. We see southern and gulf here which are distinguished, by pic 2 , showing a gulf flounder has 3 prominent *eyeballs* forming a triangle. Southern tend to get bigger and have non ocellated spots. Remora caught on a pompano jig(not pictured because he flew out of my hand back into the Gulf). Hadn't caught one of those *shark suckers* in a while so that was cool. Get out there it's only 94 degrees!🤪🤙
