3-18 goose creek
I went out to see if there was anything biting.
Not sure what they are, maybe bull chub? But they were hitting gulp baits off the bottom.
12"-15" around a pound each. I had a ton af fun catching them on an ultra light.

Re: 3-18 goose creek
I haven't seen the pics because I can't while at work, but here is some info for further deliberation:
DESCRIPTION: The fallfish has a similar body shape as the creek chub, but is more
laterally compressed and has a more pointed head. Its back is dark olive, brown
to black in colour and its sides are silvery to a white belly. The scales are large
with 43 – 50 along the lateral line. Young fallfish generally have distinct mid-lateral
band. They also have a dark pigmentation (cresent shaped) on the anterior edge
of its scales. The average length is around 5 inches, but the fallfish can grow
between 10 and 15 inches.
If it were easy, they'd call it catching!

Re: 3-18 goose creek
Ask Ernie to show you the fish you caught. It is on pg. 214 in his fishing encyclopedia. It is a chub.

Re: 3-18 goose creek
I have never caught those at Goose Creek but there have been a couple of times where I have seen dozens of them from the bank. They seem to school and when they move on the bottom they flash a golden color. When there are a lot of them together it looks like the creek bottom is shimmering.
