basslover12345 Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Does anyone know what type of fish this is? My friend caught it in one of the run off ponds we fish for bass in. It looks like a shad to me............. I thought it might be a carp, but it didn't have a carp like lip Quote
Super User clayton86 Posted June 22, 2011 Super User Posted June 22, 2011 White fish maybe not sure iv seen and caught them around here or something similure I just say its a minnow on steroids and toss it back Quote
CFFF 1.5 Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Without knowing where you live or if you have these type of fish. It definitely looks like a Golden Shiner. http://www.fcps.edu/islandcreekes/ecology/golden_shiner.htm One of the best best big bass live bait you can use. These typically cost about $15-$18 per dozen for 6"-10" Wild Golden Shiners. I used to have some spots for cast netting these guys but with the water so low the shiners have moved out until the water comes back up. Quote
Super User clayton86 Posted June 22, 2011 Super User Posted June 22, 2011 Wow I didn't even think of shinners me and my childhood buddy used to cast net them suckers all the time for catfish and pike bait. There all over here in new york some get big like that one along with alewife Quote
basslover12345 Posted June 22, 2011 Author Posted June 22, 2011 I looked up species of Shiners and it almost looks exactly like a common shiner Quote
hookingem Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 yep we sell those as bait at the shop deff. a shiner should have rigged that sucker up live! Quote
CAdeltaLipRipper Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 I was gonna say one of the bigger species of shad but now that some of u mention it it does look like a shiner Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted June 25, 2011 Global Moderator Posted June 25, 2011 Shiner, I've caught some close to a foot long out of ponds on inline spinners and small crankbaits. Great big bass bait. Quote
joshholmes Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 definitly a golden shiner. i use them on lake tohopekaliga when i go down to Florida Quote
Fish Chris Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 I'd have rigged that big ol' Golden Shiner up, and fished for a MONSTER Bass ! Fish Quote

Super User Sam Posted June 27, 2011 Super User Posted June 27, 2011 Shiner. Used to catch them in Louisiana when I was a kid. I thought they were extinct since I am so old now. Quote
barroncooper Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 absolutely, positively, 100% a golden shiner Quote
barroncooper Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 Shiner. Used to catch them in Louisiana when I was a kid. I thought they were extinct since I am so old now. I catch em all the time in lake darbonne while bream fishing with my son. what part of LA were you from Quote
