Just call him "MudSharkSteve"

By the time I met up with Steve at TR#3 this morning, it was almost 9 a.m. He'd been out on the lake since 7 a.m., he told me, and the morning bite had been fantastic: 14 fish before I arrived. This was #15:

Nice one Steve, bet that a fun lil guy. Rog, funny how I was just saying last night how I hadn't caught one from there yet. Go figure, must be Steve's foot funk.

Sounds like a plan, Jeremey.

That would give you all winter to work on your flycasting technique...

I would like to learn how to fly fish as well im sure some of you on here can help me with that

i've heard fly fishing for carp is becoming a classy sport....especially on shallow clear flats of western reservoirs. like fishing for bonefish except its guys with mustaches in float tubes.

**SKershaw** · 09-04-2008, 04:09 PM

Sounds like a good morning. Awesome fish(es), Steve!

C'mon Rog, give Alex T. a break it only took him 8 boxes of shells do it.

BTW..I can't see the pictures...stupid work firewalls..

Went out and met OBG at TR for what might be the last fling out there for the year.

A perfectly beautiful morning and the fish were very cooperative. Here's OBG with an "average" TR channel cat. I think he had 4 or 5 species this morning.

All the fish looked to be in great shape. OBG can really catch them now that he has his downrigger hooked up!

fearnofish · 09-04-2008, 10:16 PM

So thats what the infamous OBG looks like

.Nice fishin guys.

**SKershaw** · 09-04-2008, 10:19 PM

Hey, OBG, is that Dusty's tube?

Looks like some nice fish there. You realize that's a "feeder" carp, right?

That doesn't really count as a full carp. Might be the equivalent of a koi...
