Who's Coming To Lake Anna, Virginia?

[Nitrofreak]

These are from the day after but I wanted to share them with you because they have my little baby girl in them.

Traveler and I went out and my boat had my wife, my daughter and my daughters boyfriend on it, Traveler and I fished a couple of places and my daughter challanged us to a tourny.

Traveler and I started fishing a hump in Contrary Creek, we struck first with a bass about a pound and a half he had caught off of a drop shot rig on top of the hump, me I just struck out, I do not have any pics with Traveler but we did have some fun fishing together, he later caught one in the back of Contrary Creek just a touch bigger roughly I would say about 2lbs, that one came off of a spinner bait.

This is my little baby girl whoopin daddy's butt.

I may have took an a## whippin but hey, all I can say to that is...Daddy luv's ya baby !!!!

I had tons of fun meeting you guys and fishing with zoff was awesome. I greatly appreciate all the guys who set this up and the the boaters who made sure it could happen.

[chrisdm3]

And I usually don't talk much around people that I just met but I talked a decent amount with zoff on the boat

OK guy's, I now have an album called 2012 Lake Anna Meet & Greet with photo's from the event. I had a great time, but it was too short, and I didn't get a chance to meet and chat with everyone like I would have liked to. This was my second event like this with the club and I like the opportunity to meet members face-to-face, I'm really looking forward to the 2013 Road Trip at Lake Pickwick, and the next Va Meet & Greet.

EDIT: I also posted the same photos on my FaceBook page (http://www.facebook.com/emmagruder) for my non-club member friends to see what they missed

Thanks, my friend. I'd fish with you anytime.

Really!?!?!?! Seriously... I really enjoyed talking with you.

You're a hoot! lol I do talk a bit less when fishing.

I look forward to finding that out sometime at one of your local lakes, I would prefer SML but as long as we are getting a line wet and we can down a few beers afterwards I really do not care buddy !!!

Zoff,

I really enjoyed having you over at the campsite chatting with the family Friday night, you are a lot of laughs yourself and a stand up kind of guy that I have a lot of respect for, although my posts may not reflect that, we have the same views and thoughts about a lot of things especially when we speak of family, we have had a lot of conversations in the past few weeks only to find out that we have a ton in common with one another.

The job you have should key you in real quick as to whom you allow yourself to trust, even just a little, I do not take that lightly either or trust me, you would have never been allowed to meet my family.

I look forward to our next adventure, either a fishing trip with the families or just a day on the lake, I also look forward to helping out with the next meet and greet, oh yes, there will be another one.

Just posted some pic's in the Lake Anna Meet & Greet album. They're Google Earth GPS tracks of fishing with Steve & Aj, and Nitrofreak. These pic's are something I do as documentation for my fishing logs.

[Nitrofreak]

Nice job Traveler !!!

Can you explain the ststem you have to do that stuff, I am way interested !!!

[Traveler2586]

Nice job Traveler !!!

Can you explain the system you have to do that stuff, I am way interested !!!

Nitro, I use a Garmin GPSmap 76CSx, which is out of date by now, but any good personal gps would do the same. Garmin were standard issue at work and I carried one faithfully when I traveled. They now have a marine personal gps that looks good, http://www.thegpssto...-GPS-P2386.aspx

I believe the newer boat electronics can also save tracks as well; there, you move the units memory chip to your computer to download the tracks.

But basically you save your fishing/boating tracks on the personal GPS in small "trips";

you then download the tracks from the GPS to your home computer;

then you import them into Google Earth and they show up as you see them in the pic's;

then you can save a Google Earth screen shot as a *.jpg photo on your computer;

next, print the pic's and place them into a plastic photo holder that you can take with you on the boat (I use 5X7);

you can put a 5X7 index card in the holder with fishing log data to go with the pic.

Thanx Traveler!!

I looked at the hand held unit from your link you posted, not a bad price for such a compact powerful unit !!!

These things are great for any outdoor activity and keep getting better with each model.

I just wanted to say what a great time my son and i had at lake anna with you guys. Many thanks to Eric for taking us out in his boat for the whole day. It was great to be able to put a face to all the names i see on the forum and to get to know you guys. Thanks to Nitro and his family for making us feel so welcome. I see there is already a post for next year. I will definitely be interested in going again. Hopefully we will have our own boat by then.

Wish I would have seen these posts sooner. I've been dying to try out Lake Anna. I'm in Woodbridge so it's not too far of a hike. I'm a boater, 19 foot Bass tracker with 115. Maybe next year I guess.
