It has a more clearly visible lateral line, and less spots than the average spotted seatrout, but I'm pretty sure that's what it is.

Do white trout ever have spots?

This was caught in Guana between St Augustine and Ponte Vedra.

Looks kinda like a sand trout and speckled trout hybrid of sorts. I've heard of them being around but I don't know that I've ever seen one.

What area of Guana?

Probably near the dam. FWC guys seemed to be unsure so far but I'm sure they will tell us something by tomorrow. Thanks for the help. It looks to me lie a cross of the sand and sea too. Kinda funny looking.

Article: Evolutionary associations between sand seatrout (Cynoscion arenarius) and silver seatrout (C. nothus) inferred from morphological characters, mitochondrial DNA, and microsatellite markers.(Report)
Article from:Fishery Bulletin Article date:January 1, 2009 Author:Anderson, Joel D.
Abstract--The evolutionary associations between closely related fish species, both contemporary and historical, are frequently assessed by using molecular markers, such as microsatellites. Here, the presence and variability of microsatellite loci in two closely related species of marine fishes, sand seatrout (Cynoscion arenarius) and silver seatrout (C. nothus), are explored by using heterologous primers from red drum (Sciaenops ocellatus). Data from these loci are used in conjunction with morphological characters and mitochondrial DNA haplotypes to explore the extent of genetic exchange between species offshore of Galveston Bay, TX.

First named by Ginsberg c1930....I first learned about them at the original Posey's in St. Marks. It was related to me by an old sea captain that had been shipwrecked in the Gulf and lived
on a deserted island for many years with only his parrot and a computer and he learned it from reading forums on bigbendfishing.net.
