Thumbs up Compatibles Fresh 2 Saltwater Fish

In the time I've spent fishing both fresh and salt water fisheries, I can not help but to appreciate the similarities in some of the fish. I find it very interesting that I catch myself at times "Nick Naming" fish making my self believe a fresh water fish is a certain name due to the salt water experience I had growing up in Florida.

For instance I was recently netting baits small sized "Skip Jack"/ Shad and I was calling them sardines. You may have herd of them as "Fresh Water Tarpon", are really also "Skip Jack"/ Shad. Even though "Tarpon" are euryhaline fish which means they can live in Fresh and Salt Water.
I was recently fishing in the Atlantic off the coast of Fort Lauderdale FL and I saw some Triple tail on the weed lines while fishing for Dolphin aka MahiMahi. I thought to myself, wow the little triple tail have a similar look to a Crappie. After comparing pictures online, it confirmed my thoughts.

Finally, I though it would be an interesting topic to share what fish look similar to you??

In my pictures

FRESHWATER-(1-SkipJack Shad) (2-Crappie) (3-Small SkipJack Shad)

SALTWATER-(1-Tarpon) (2-Triple Tail) (3-Sardine)

While I have never had the chance to fish for them, I have always thought triple tail looked like monster bluegill.

Just wish skipjack got as big as tarpon.

The Steam Plant in the winter time would be a mecca of the fishing world.

Absolutely if only they would grow.... That would be the place to be... Even for how small they are they still fight good, in fact very much like Tarpon.
