last night was about the most activity I've ever seen at my light. Dozens of gar, a few rat reds, quite a few trout and a bunch of these. I assume they're juvenile sheepshead? Most seem to be 12-16 inches in length.

this is my house near Eden Isles/twinspans. Somewhat surprised by all of the fish because it is 99.9999% freshwater at this point. Caught a 16" trout last night. I have noticed the algae has not made its way back here yet so maybe they're being pushed in?

Crappie is what it looks like to me. The head/snout looks a little too pointy to be sheepshead but had never heard of crappie around here.

The tail fin looks like crappie. They’ll also come to light really fast and heavy. And small gar/crappie’s diets are similar.

Shiners and crappie jigs will catch anything hovering the light.

Juvenile TT are typically bright yellow and they often float on their sides around docks.

Yeah, after looking at it further the tail looks too pointed. However, crappie tails aren’t pointed either I don’t think.
