Kayak christian Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Our trips all start out as a kayak fishing adventure. We usually end up pulling ashore for a little while and exploring. On this trip we found a lot of these fossil clams. Very cool. I dont know much about them just thought i would share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minnbuckeye Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Always enjoy the combination of fishing and fossils!!!! Looks like you had an enjoyable day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bone2stone Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Any idea as to the deposit you are looking in? Your specimens look like a specie of Bivalve found in the woodbine. Nice catfish she got there. Wish my wife would enjoy fishing as much as I do. Jess B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oxytropidoceras Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Ray Roberts Lake lies a few miles north of Denton Texas. It lies within the outcrop of the Woodbine Formation, Mainstreet Limestone, Grayson Marl, and Denton Clay. Go see North Texas Fossils at http://www.northtexasfossils.com/geologydenton.htm .

sharko69 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I always bring a little fly rod as I hit the creeks. Love the combination of fishing and fossils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coco Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Attractive voracious fish, which invaded our rivers. In France we don't have the right to move it alive, it is an invader. ---------------------- OUTIL POUR MESURER VOS FOSSILES : ici Ma bibliothèque PDF 1 (Poissons et sélaciens récents & fossiles) : ici Ma bibliothèque PDF 2 (Animaux vivants - sans poissons ni sélaciens) : ici Mâchoires sélaciennes récentes : ici Hétérodontiques et sélaciens : ici Oeufs sélaciens récents : ici Otolithes de poissons récents ! ici Un Greg...

Coco Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Hi, I speak about Lepomis gibbosus but perhaps I have done a mistake, is it really the same fish ? Blatant example of the need to use the Latin names because the vernacular ones change according to countries or even regions !

goatinformationist Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 That is why us country boys use the term "panfish". I hope that a pan was involved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is native to the Mississippi River drainage basin. Called a Long ear sunfish in these parts and are native to Texas. Lepomis megalotis. The vert in the picture however is from Xyphactinus and the jaw with the other fish mosasaur found in the spot I caught the fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Out here We call them "blue gills", but it may be a different species. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

I love to fly fish for pan fish on the small creeks I hunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Bluegill, green sunfish, pumpkinseeds, longears... they're all great fun to catch. @Coco they're good eating, although you need a fair few to make a meal. But the good thing about them being invasive is there is no size or bag limit so ya take em all! Guys, you know when you see the small creeks or pools and you can see the panfish in them? Go to Walmart and grab a couple of "bitsy minnows" in the lure section. I bought like 15 to bring home to Aus for our native grunters. They work a treat on the sunnies and it was very enjoyable.
