I think there is a fair bit of confusion because an awful lot of thick lipped mullet have golden spots on the cheek area as well. I might have a trawl through old posts and find a few for comparision photos.
If someone shows you a mark to fish, respect it and dont pass it of as one of your own, dont tell every man and his dog about it.
