My buddy caught this little guy, I have more pics and i'll post soon.
I think is was a small Northern Dusky

Hit a live sardine up at the palm beach inlet.

If it had little white blotchy spots it was an atlantic sharpnose, I would need better pics to tell


Just an average fisherman.

Looks like Atlantic sharp nose. No size limit. Does favor a dusky. I think the eyes are bigger on the sharpnose. Sometimes when they are bigger they have mature sex organs even at 3'. Sometimes they have a light green color to it's skin.

Absolutely an Atlantic sharpnose. The anal fin originates in front of the second dorsal fin.
