Gerald Pottern took me in a car to catch fish with other people. I didn't catch much but I got some fish that the other people got.
I think these were from Rhode Pond.
Gambusia. These fish are common around here.
This female was around over 53mm long.
Tadpole
Crawdad. This one was close to 22mm long from "nose" to tail.

These were from a stream that went through Old Drug Store Road. There were also Swallowtail Shiners and possibly others caught at the stream.

Thanks for posting those pix. Yes those little sunnies from Rhodes Pond (Cape Fear River basin) are bluegills, and your shiners from Buffalo Creek (Neuse River basin) are satinfins. I'm writing up a short account of our Feb 14 adventure for the next AC.

I don't think I've ever caught satinfin shiners and bluespotted sunfish together before, but there they were, along with flier, green sunfish, bluegill, tesselated darter, swallowtail shiner, and a big pirate perch. The gray-beard gentleman in Rich Pierce from MA who drove down through snow and ice to speak on killifish at the Raleigh Aqu Soc workshop. GambusiaNo2 is in the black+orange jacket, and I'm in the light blue sweatshirt with "frost" in my hair.

Hey Gerald, I don't want to overstate the cold... but it does seem like some fish from several different habitats must have been kinda bunched together for you... I have to assume that was a winter phenomenon, don't you think? I mean these are after all southern fish and they only have to put up with this for a few days at a time.

Nice. Here are some videos of the fish.
Satinfin Shiners. Fighting?
Pickerels when I had three. The small one was probably swallowed by ones of his buddies...
