Spent most of the week-end at the beach in Orange Beach, Alabama. We fished off the beach almost all day Saturday and caught several different species. A newly documented species for me was this small Blacktip Shark (Carcharhinus limbatus). Among the group, we caught 7 total, all very small. I noticed an interesting pattern of pores under and behind the eye.
Another interesting fish caught off the beach by my Brother in law, Gordon, was this Lookdown (Selene vomer). I have seen pictures of the Lookdown before, but didn’t realize how thin and compressed they really are! Cool fish!
I had taken several pictures before I realized I had my camera set to Black and White. There was a little color at the beach too, though I kind of like the B&W effect……
Cool fish! Thanks for sharing.
