I'd be on for that.
I've seen some real monsters surfacing in Town Lake and my Local Lk Georgetown too. I did some hiking and fly fishing today along the san gabriel (flows into Lk Georgetown), water's really low, but as I came up on a large pool there was a nice shoal of carp in about 8" to 2'+ of water, each at least 18" or larger, of course I didn't have any of the right tackle with me - was targetting bass. Tomorrow I'm going to head back there with some carp tackle and see if I can get some interest.
It was rather wonderful, the stretch that they were in the water was crystal clear about 10 to 15' wide, and at times the fish were swimming really close to me, searching around and sucking up the bottom.
I'll try get a video of them tomorrow too & post a link.

Sounds like it'd make some great video, looking forward to seeing it.

Alright, so I think my foreign [censored] got it all wrong, I see barbels on anything and I think carp... So take a look at this clip (if you want), and now I'm thinking catfish. My bad, sorry!

Definitely carp. Orange body, orange tail...good close up of the face on one.

Catfish have LONG whiskers, and do not have orange tails.

Man thats beautiful! On a side note what camera is that you have? Good quality and light enough to be used confidently in a yak?

Great video.

What was that solitary fish in the last half of the video? It looked too long and thin to be a carp (perhaps that was due to refraction). Was it a gar or sucker?

Awesome, thanks guys.
The camera is actually a Cannon Elura 100, picked it up from bestbuy about 6 months ago before a family trip. It is pretty light, but not waterproof in any way - so I don't bring that one out in the yak. Its got a digital out for transferring movies across firewire to the computer, the clip was at a native 720x480 resolution - but quality compressed for download, I've a total of 8 minutes of footage (about 4 to 5 mins of good footage) if anyone wants the entire set just let me know and we'll figure something out.

Solitary fish at the end? Hmm...I didn't watch the whole video yet lol. But the fish early on look like carp to me, but obviously not sure about those I haven't seen yet lol.
