    That creek can be tricky, more about hunting, waiting, waiting some more and then picking your shots as opposed to blind casting….the rewards can be great though.

    Looks like I was up there a week before you…are you following me?

    Wish I would have seen you.

    Micah,

    How does a guy get on that “good buddy list?”

    Dave

    Ah that is an easy one, bring beer and no whining…

    Great shots Micah, feels weird to not be in the pictures with the King O Beers.

    Honestly I have not fished them for carp, yet.

    All of the Sage Bass rods take a little getting used to.  The lines that come with them cast like shooting heads.  Keep your back casts lower and your forward casts should end higher.  The head of the line is bulky even on the Bluegill, so if you get too far past the head when false casting there will not be enough weight to keep your rod loaded and your loops will fall apart.  It works best when you false cast 5-10′ past the head(30-40′), get a nice tight loop and then let er rip.  The line is only 80 feet long and can be shot with a 40′ false cast.  Less is more when casting these rods in my experience.

    We got our Bluegill rods in the shop a couple of weeks ago, so your local shop can get them right now.

    Believe me, you do not want to see the inside of my Tundra…nothing worse than morning traffic.

    Bob I admire your attitude and wish you a full recovery.

    Lando, I hear you may be my long lost brother that was separated from me at birth, you should roll down and hit the Ferry this winter…

    Wow some great stuff.  I have been checking the site out from time to time and felt compelled to share, although with the Lauer brothers jumping on board I worry about the security of this place   🙂    

    2008 has been fun so far, still have a few more trips to do.  I have been lucky enough to fish all over the West this year, having spent the better part of 3 months combined hanging out with fishing buddies.  I am now grounded by my wife…

    Starting out 2008 on Da Juan, temperatures did not exceed 20  degrees for the 4 days we were there.  Add a toothache, my solution to this was to stuff snow into my mouth to keep it numb, to the mix and 08 was off to a pretty lousy start…and why did I buy that stupid hat.

    Off to Pyramid Lake for Camp Lahootie II…
    8.5lber day one, this was going to be the year of the 10…

    This was the 10 for sure…nope, 8.

    This is it, I was sure of it.  I look at Geoff and he just gives me that shoulder shrug.  This might be the most irritated anyone has ever been to catch an 8lbs fish.  

    Within 5 minutes, I was netting Josh’s 12lber…Always the bridesmaid.

    After that it has all kind of been a blur, lots of Captain, little bits of sleep, another 40K on Hank, so many good times…

    Nice views from camp

    Many, many games of washers…I am not very good at washers…but if you want to we can put some money on it just for fun.

    Spent some time at home in Arizona this year, next year I will be home more(did that sound convincing enough that my wife may believe it?).

    My home away from home…Hank and the Alaknak.

    I apologize for the excess, but once I started sifting through the memories it was hard to stop.
