My brother sent me this picture from a leisure outing he and some friends took on Lake Grapevine. Thought everyone might enjoy this picture.

do i see a Buffalo?!?!

I wanna go

you sure that is Grapevine and not Joe Pool?

Great shot, looks like the Marina!

Scott, it could be GV, there's a marina near the Cliffs that has the same sort of carp feeding gatherings that the Joe Pool Marina does. You can buy feed for them and everything.

Though they do look like Joe Pool sized fish lol. Definitely a buff in there too.

i se one buff look harder jeff

Definitely Grapevine Scott.

Good eyes, I didn't notice.

hmmmmm, can that spot be accessed by a yak/toon Justin? Wouldn't mind trying a few bread flies there

thats 1 buff out of 500 million carp lmao!!!! where the others?

How big do ya'll think some of those bigger fish are?

looks like the biggest is about 15# which is on par with GP

Scott, yeah, pretty easily I'd think.

When you're going to the cliffs, if you go right at the 4 way intersection, out to Little Petes or whatever the restuarant is called, you'll get to the marina.

whats the address of the cliifs?im thinking of going this weekend

ok I remember now. Yeah, that sounds like an idea. I may have the day off tomorrow

There used to be tons of fish at that Marina, but after the water level dropped so low that they had to relocate a lot of the boats, the fish scattered. Since then though I'm pretty sure they have returned.

yeah, i saw the buff right when i saw the pic lol

that buff kinda jumps out at you

I don't think thats a buffalo.... in fact pretty sure its a carp with wither lighter pigment or the sun hitting it. There are 2 Koi out there now the old orange one and now a white and yellow and black and orange one...I have a photo somewhere like this as well with the orange Koi swimming around...

Drum?

no its a carp

Looking at this picture I have to say that tthe carp look healthier than in the past few summers. If we get some flooding we might even see some big boys come out.

I disagree. It has the depth of body of a buffalo, the pale pec fins, and the dark tail. I've seen tons of buffs like that at GV, and while I've seen a few koi, I've yet to see a Blue-grey koi that shade out there.

Man If you can fish there I def. wanna get out there with my fly rod! I have yet to hook up with a carp on it!

Looks like I may need to get my float tube out of the box.

sorry, the buffalo at the vine look almost black in the water when you see them even in very shallow water also the face is elongated and I don't see the body depth and its orange around the gill plates and the eye when you zoom in on it dosn't look right. also the fact as many places that I have fed carp including vine and watched them I have never ever seen a buffalo I don't think Buffalo and Carp get along.
