Finally had a spawn of something other than tilapia in the pond. I figured they were bluegill....but seem to have a horizontal line down their back...
Any input as to LMB or CNBG?
Sean
I'm guessing LMB. What size are they?
Half to three quarter inch would be my guess.
Without a better picture (from the side) I would still guess LMB.
Well...phooey.... was hoping my self supporting cycle had started... I know I have the pink bluegill folks were talking about in another thread...indicating they are in spawn mode.
Sean
I see the pink, or grapefruit coloration in cooler water.
Boburk,
My baby BG have distinct vertical stripes once they reach about 1 inch or so.

Yup those guys are LMB, see them in my pond also. I can look around shallows and see the water shimmering in pods of those things,100s of them. Never see BG at all or tilapia babies.
Wow guys your so lucky. What is your water temp?
We were knocking on 55*s the other day at the surface and then a cold night are 34*s put us back.
Come on wheres the heat! Cut the lawn for the first time this year this weekend.
Cheers Don.
Ewest, your images did not appear for me.
Don, it was 90ish outside here today.

I see that most/all my photobucket links in my posts no longer work as well. The danger of not being able to post actual images on the forum and having to rely on links to another website. Hopefully, someone will fix it.
Did the pics work on the prior post ? I can see them.
Here are 2 more - LMB fry in a jar.
90? dam dude. We are lucky to see a week of 90 all year.
What great pictures. Thanks for posting these.

We're getting you Canucks back for sending down all that cold air! We're holding off on the heat!
I see the second ones Ewest. Howd you catch the little boogers? Aquarium net was a no go for me. They swim away when they see me coming. And I think they're too small for my minnow trap.

That's kind of the trade off. One year we had a 100 days of 100+ temps. I think the norm right now is 80ish.

Well you guys can share some heat any day now. Only 7C as a high today here looking forward to 12C tomorrow. Golf league starts Monday and might still be wearing my winter coat to finish up the last two holes.
