Does anyone have these in their pond? I know they are pretty prevalent in major lakes and that bass seem to love them.
They have very specific spawning needs and thus are probably unable to spawn in all but the rarests of ponds. So therefore, it wouldn't do much good to stock them. There has been threads about them in the past on Pond Boss.
Im sorry, I don't know what a logperch is, im a hillbilly
Hmm, I always thought that was something you did when you got tired.
Are these the same as what we used to call "horny heads" back in south Alabama?
Sounds about right. As kids we would head out to small creeks to try to catch them. They were too small to eat, and I guess the reason for fishing for them was in the challenge. Redneck kids "sport-fishing", I guess. They were very wary of any change in reflections on the water surface. I haven't thought of them in years.
Mobilus, I doubt hornyheads are the same as logperch. Most likely hornyheads were creek chubs, or a closely related species which get tubercles on their heads which are like little horns.
I pulled 2 out of one pond I play with, if they were log perch or the closely resembling dace I don't know. Cool to see that blue color though.
Logperch and dace are very dissimilar species. They would be difficult to mistake for one another.
Sorry CJ I meant black sided darter but the name escaped me.
I am hoping they are just logperch, and the blacksided darter is considered more rare.
CJBS2003, thanks for the info!
