Digital limits?

This is more of an experiment than anything else. It's a photo of a photo. Well, actually a photo of a few photos. Shots that were taken over the years with different cameras, now shot together with a Digital camera.

Hmmm. I'm going to have to do some more of that sort of experimental thing. I used to try all kinds of stuff when I was shootin' 35mm format a few years back. I wonder how it would work with some of my older slides? I'll have to get back to you on that...

Spannin' the years...

As you can easily see here from this little display, Outdoorsy stuff was my main thing, even way back then...

New friends...

Well, by the looks of this picture, the fishing wasn't that hot down on my home lake recently. :-) Thank GOD I still keep those deadly micro-jigs in my bag for just such tough fishing times. I hate being skunked you see, so I keep down-sizing my lures until I start getting strikes again. Finally got a dozen of these little 'Gills to smack this 1/64 oz leadhead with a sliver of powerbait for a body. :-)

Killer Jig strikes again...

Ya know, another neat thing about urban fishing, is that you get to meet a few people, even if it's just for a few minutes at a time. Two teens I met on the water the other day, impressed me. They weren't stand-offish and talked openly to me about their favorite sport as they cast into, onto, around and over the slop-mat that forms nearly the whole west bay over there. I could see and feel the love for fishing in these boys, almost like a view of myself so many years ago. We had a few laughs together and exchanged a few comments and tips about catchin' the big one etc. When they left, I suggested they look me up on Google and maybe build their own fishing website or lens. I don't know if they remembered or whatever, but I felt good about spreading the faith and sharing all that with them. After all, I have been a fishing ambassador for over 40 years, and it feels good to know that I've still got it! ;-)

An hour later I met two guys fishing off the rocky point. Turns out it was a father and son unit. Awesome! We chatted for about a good half hour, covering many fishing related topics and sat in the grass, discussing the different terminal tackle in their boxes. The young lad was just beaming, as he told the story of the hog pike on the Strike King Spinner-bait as I held it there in my hand. I knew he was going to be a good fisherman right then as he recalled the details of that past fishing adventure with his dad! :-) I've always said, a family that fishes together, stays together...

Again, it was VERY rewarding sharing each others lives there on the lake shore as if we had known each other for years. Fishing will do that to you. It's a sport that bridges the gap between being strangers and gives us a great common denominator to begin a friendship with...

later,

Broken Blogger

It looks like my Blogger thingy is NOT working, according to my last three (3) posts anyway. So, I guess I better get to work and see what's up with that...

Please disregard the next few posts until I figure out how, if I can, to delete them. :-(

What to read?

For those of You out there who like to read...

Here are a few of my all time favorite books. I've read them all many times and learn something new from them each time I re-read them. :-) Have you read any of them yet? They are all very different but each one has lots and lots of cool stuff to teach us. So, if You are into learning mode, Dig up any one of these little Treasures and you'll be in for a treat...

Stay Alive In The Woods - Angier

Illusions, By Bach

Owl Hooters - Von Meuller

The Last Canadian - Hauntingly Realistic...

Reading good stuff is good for us. Gives us a chance to slow down a little and explore the other worlds around us. Many times we can learn a lot from a real good book. I've learned plenty from this little foursome. Perhaps You will too?

more later...
