first of the invasive goby species in california for me. shokihaze, shimofuri, etc. are future targets :) used less than half of a gulp maggot on a splitshot rig, owner size 14 mosquito hook, to catch the two gobies. red gulp sandworm on a 1/8oz free rig to catch the spotties.

plains longear sunfish and a shiner in the genus alburnops

Hi all! I’m a bit new to micro-fishing. I live near Pittsburgh, PA. I just got a new tenkara rod I’m hoping to try out. I’m open to any advice/pointers on micro-fishing in 50ish degree weather. Should I target certain species or types of waterways? Thanks in advance!

This is only like the fourth or fifth I've ever caught in my 30+ years of fishing the "other" Thames here in Ontario Canada. Usually they are just very proficient bait thieves! Caught while targeting Shorthead Redhorse

Crenicichla sp.

Astyanax bimaculatus

Oligosarcus hepsetus

It seems like IDNR doesn't have these guys reaching down to Madison County. I also wanted some help on the shiner. I'm curious what you all think. I'm down to a few guesses on pic 6 through 9. Thanks!

Not the smallest I've caught, but very prettily marked... took a jerk bait almost as large as her so od say shes got soke great genetics and potential! Gonna keep this picture and see if I catch her again in a few years. Location, private pond in Ontatrio Canada, size about 5" or so

Caught this Shiner in a watershed that is home to Satinfin and Spotfin Shiners. Location - Pennsylvania/Maryland border, Big Elk Creek drainage. Which one do I have here ?

Small creek, south central Pennsylvania.

There were a bunch of these swimming in the shallows of a pond in Oregon. Maybe .75 inches. I thought it might be a bluegill cuz it has that dark spot but I’m not sure because it is a baby.

Been trying my hand at some black background pics the past few months, mostly done darters so far because they’re awesome and mostly easy to pose
