Had the Pearson family out today for an intercoastal cruise and we caught a load of snappers, grunts, and some surprisingly large fish for shallow water. Here's a couple of photos, what kind of mackeral is it, cero or spanish ?:D

Spanish you don't usually see ceros in the intracoastal.

Looks like a cero actually. Spots do not look yellow enough but maybe it is the lighting.

Spanish! There is no visible bronze lateral line that the fish ID charts indicate on a Cero. Either way, it looks like dinner.

Spanish in my opinion.

Ceros are more common in the Bahamas and the Keys.
