The fishing bear I put in as it is the only fishing I did last year.

Block Island & Maine

5/0,

Some beautiful pics. What are you using for a camera to get such clear, focused close-ups (like the one with the frog)?

Btw, I'm still gonna take you up on the offer sometime to pick your brain a bit, if you don't mind.

I first have to apolgize to Saltheart for this! I dont think I ever did get any pics to you like I said I would (YEARS AGO...:eek:) but anyway....

I always liked this one....I just saw the sun hitting it one day which really brought out the beauty of the rod and I thought "wouldnt that be a cool pic with the water in the back"?

Thank's Johnny,
It's a Sony Cyber Shot,for the close ups I change the focus to Macro and sometimes change the speed to get the right lighting.

BTW you have my number call me anytime or just shoot me a PM we'll get together before the Spring Madness:cool:

:claps: :claps: :claps:

Thank's Bassdawg for the Kudo's but it goes right back @ you for starting the thread,it's threads like this to help take away the winter blues.
This time of year when people get creative and start posting pix,it's really cool because you can see other peoples styles wether it be landscapes,abstracts,people or lighting different angles or what ever it's very inspirering when you see someting you like and then try to replicate it yourself.
I like stepping back and digging through the disk drives looking for recent & old pix bring back some memories.The past few years I found myself not taking as many shots as I use too but this year I hope to take the time and do so.

Nice Pics and great thread!

Do you remember ice fishing 2 weeks ago. Me too. What I didn't remember is that I brought out a camera that got left in my big cooler that broke that morning. Joe found it yesterday in a solid block of ice. The camera is junk according to Joe but I hope the memory card isn't toast. I had some cool pic's on it. So I broke a $65 cooler and a digital camera. It's been a bad 12 months of me breaking things. Oh Well.

sorry to hear that, WSPTMAFIA!

arctic air is hell on man, beast, AND machinery.
shore hope the cahhhd still works!!
:uhuh: :uhuh: :uhuh:

Thats ok. %$%$%$%$ happens. Especially when you get this close to a moose at night.

Getting ready for some night time sledding

One never know's I'd dry it out sloooowly place it over the baseboard heat for a few day's you've got nothing to lose.
BTW I highly dought the card it trash they are pretty durable I think the only thing that would destroy it would be a magnet or physical breakeage.

Nice PIX ,getting a little sporty with that Moose,but i like it also I like the sunset over the lake.

Crazy big animals up that close. I had one breath steam in my face while sitting in the bed of the pick up truck one night. The girls thought it was pretty funny as they didn't bother stepping on the gas. Scary stuff but such a RUSH. I'll let you know about the camera.

:cool: :cool: :cool:

We kind of found her. We sit in the bed of the pick up and drive up and down Moose Alley with spotlights. On average we will see a couple dozen of them along with tons of smaller creatures. It's a fun thing to do after riding all day.

Dawg that pic was from the ms challenge. here are a few more.

this was probably one of my luckiest pic of last year. A lightning strike had set this house on fire, my daughter and I went to go see it burn and take some pictures. here are a few shots from that night.

Bass Stand

Thats ok. %$%$%$%$ happens. Especially when you get this close to a moose at night.

Almost took one out last weekend. Well he would have taken me out. At the end of the year last year we saw so many on the trails it got to the point were the novelty wore off. We got backed down a few times as well as drove right by them.

A few of my boys I don't think I posted here.

Love the look on the pogie. A couple of sketches.

Bored at work so taking some off my work comp.

My favorite pic from this summer, my 3 kids fishing at an UDL in the White mountains, I had to explain to the 5 year old why it is not wise to cast his Mepps cross current with his brother just down stream.

I remember that rod Jenn. Who would have guessed that purple green gold and black would all go together so well.

If its a real nice bass I'll bungee it to the rack in the back or throw it over my shoulder and have a nice slow peddle back to the car. (I release most of my fish, I don't keep many)

He usually throws 'em in my pimp canal whip and I transport them for him. God knows I dont catch sheet down there.:lama:

I actually have a great picture of you and Mark from the mid 90's with a big stringer of fluke. I'll scan it and put it up here for you next chance I get.

You still making the piccata too? I remember having that stuff in beech forest one time.

the last one is my godson with his 1st fish

actually it's a combo of piccata and francese it's like eating candy.

bored is right you can tell by my times, I am normally dragging wires all over the place. but obama's gonna fix that soon. nice outfit on the kid. He needs the Hawaiin shorts though. You should wear the yellow boots,pants tucked in of course.

EXCELLENT, 2na!
