bassnbrad Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 Caught this the other night in a cast net while fishing Lake Travis with my grandson. The picture was taken at night so the colors are not too discernible. The stripes are tannish brown and the gill plate had a bluish tint to it... Thanks, bb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patrick reif Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 There's wallies in Tx? http://www.cnr.vt.edu/efish/families/walleye.html To Many darters, chubs, minnows and the like to sort them out to my untrained eye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are wallies up in the panhandle, but I have never seen one this far south. I have caught alot of different species of fish from Texas to Kentucky To Florida, but this is the first one like this I've seen. Here is a chart I found but who knows... http://travis.uslakes.info/FishingChart.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayburnGuy Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 Hey Brad, Have you tried contacting the TPWD? Maybe send them a copy of the photo? If nothing else they might be able to point you in the right direction. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodkaman Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 I think it is a logperch. I could not find a pic of a walleye juvenile, but came across this pic. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 Vodkaman is correct it is a logperch species. Most likely a big scale logperch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already had that site bookmarked, but coming up in a list view would never have guessed that. Need to buy the book I reckon...lol Lots of good ideas for lure colors there.

Thanks again and tight lines, bb Fishes of Tennesse is in my opinion a much better book and would recommend it over all the Fish of (insert state) books that I have looked at.

State specific books cover native species to that state I'd be willing to bet there are many a minnow/sucker/darter that wouldn't show up in your book that one might find in Texas. I'm a little partial to Bonner's book because he was my ichthyology professor. Edited November 3, 2010 by B bop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
