Did You Know any of the western Gulf fish in the basket from my last blog post? Here is a visual key to the four species I was fishing for, each figuring prominently in my blog post for July 15: (1) Red Snapper, Lutjanus campechanus (2) Longspined Porgy, Stenotomus caprinus (3) Gulf Butterfish, Peprilus burti (4) Brown Shrimp, Farfantepenaeus aztecus. A few Stenotomus caprinus and Peprilus burti have been left unhighlighted. Can you find them?
