Have not been out in forever, how about you Krista?, Donny ?

Where you catch them pigs at ?

That was at Emma Long, the trip of a lifetime, at one point i had a net in each hand and had to hold the fish in the nets cause we were out of sacks and could not stop catching.

And yes the photographer was some drunk dude from the next campsite.

Where's emma long at ?

Austin, Texas the Carp capital of Texas if not the country.

I blame you, mostly..........you never call anymore.

Could you show it to me on google maps ?

SSF & DHfisher.....dude this places sucks....
ME...I promise we will catch fish.....
SSF & DHFisher...we could be doing this at grapevine .....
ME....wait, it will be worth it....

The VERY first member of the lscb to fish emma.....I don't think we even had the LSCB name at that point.....


This is where I take credit for giving E long to the mass's.....and by proxy every record carp and buff it has produced since.....

Gotta love humility... but yeah that's about how it went.

Is this emma long ?

yep

Ah, the classic photos! Good to see them again.

Mark, when you fishing? You need to hit somewhere with us this fall when it cools off again!

whats up mark long time no see. lets get some fishing in soon

Nice catch guys (and lady)
I begin to understand that its very hard to loose a women like fish lady they dont come around that often
Down here the cathing women are just girls merried with a carp angler and not good anglers like fish lade WTG christa!

Thats gotta be two of the coolest pics I have seen, thats haulin right there.

I think I would miss fishin too if I had experienced that!

Marko, come by Ghostie Saturday morning. I've been prebaiting all week.

Mark I hope it is not a year again before you get out! Although I have only been out a couple times since we last fished. Good to hear from ya.

Mark,

If you have the itch and you want to fish Fork you are welcome anytime.

Ah yes. The 11 fish captured in a very short period of time ranging from 11 to 27lbs.

All fish were pictured and released.

To answer your question, I haven't really fished for carp too much since last year. Fly fishing has been taking up most of my time. October will be the start of carp season for me!

Jason I will probably take you up on that soon.

Well as most of you know I have some land on Granbury and I have decided to start construction on a small cabin on it as soon as it cools a bit. My first structure is going to be a 10x14 cabin that sleeps one or two. No septic or electricity yet but the land does have running water now so I will mostly likely have a tiny kitchen area and might rig some sort of temporary camp privy until I can get a septic tank installed. If anyone has access to scrap building materials let me know. I need to grade the bank to be more bank angler friendly but I don't expect it will take long to get a small cabin up. I think I'll be fishing soon enough.

Sounds awesome Mark! Have you had a chance to fish that land yet?

I haven't been out in forever. I hit Ghostie with Donny a couple of times, but haven't done a real session in ages. What a memorable session that was! The three of us need to get together for another session. I probably won't get out until the fall, if I'm lucky. The new job has me working weekends, but maybe I can get one off after I've been there for a while. Then again, if I get a better job, I'll have to start from scratch.

Have you had a "real" session since you, Jason, Jase, Andy and I all fished Emma?

When we bottomed out Jason's van on that bumpy road cause it was so loaded down with gear lol.

That was awesometown.

Darn dude... I thought you were kidnapped...

Justin, I think my last real session was with Jason on Fork, when I caught my mirror. It has certainly been a long while since I've been out. Maybe I can get out this fall and winter. I have no idea when I can get to Austin again, but Fork is a possibility.

If ya'll come down to Emma let me know. I can bring the boat and we can head upriver in the day and get away from the boat traffic and in the cooler water after some buffs.
