Super User fourbizz Posted March 23, 2007 Author Super User Posted March 23, 2007 Hey buddy, sorry I almost missed your post. Those are some sweet fish you guys caught there ! Yea' buddies :-) Don't you just love it when your reeling a swimbait nice and steady..... and everything is just so quiet and peaceful.... and THUNK ! Fish on !!!!! :-) You can't imagine how many times during my workday that I replay these events over, and over ! Then, when I'm actually on the water, I feel like this is going to happen on nearly every cast ! .......even if I have been casting for 10 hours without a hit ! I still imagine its going to happen before its over. Then, often after pulling the boat off of the water, and packing up all the gear, I still have to go back to the ramp and chuck a swimbait around a few more times :-) Never give up ! Congrats again to you guys on the great trip. Peace, Fish PS, There are a lot of ways to hide your location, without using photo shop. 1) Have the back ground SOOO far away (preferably, the other side of the lake) that one still cannot pinpoint where you are at "on this side of the lake". 2) Have a steep bank SOOO close behind you, that they are seeing such a small area of shoreline to study, then fill up most of the frame with the fish and yourself anyway. 3) have the camera man, or tripod higher, and yourself and the fish lower, so that the back ground is all water. 4) Have the camera man, or tripod lower, and the fish and yourself higher, so that the back ground is all sky. I prefer options 1 and 2. Anyway, people just don't get so goofy, if it doesn't look like your trying to conceal the background..... Even though I often am ;-) Thanks Chris! There is nothing better than feeling first hand just how scary it is to be a trout! I know those photo techniques you are talking about, and I use them as often as I can. There were just complications this trip. First off, it is one of those lakes that the shore is sooooooo recognizable. One of those places where you see the rocks and go "oh thats _______ lake" Most of those actually are facing the opposite shore. We should have done the higher-lower thing. But for me as I am sure is pretty much the case for you, the pictures are for me. When I look back at past trips, I can see the whole point, and the critters in the back ground. Add to that the fact that we were so stoked and in a hurry to get bit again, and it makes for some poor planning! I am bummed that the only picture I have is pretty crappy, but we got like 30 of my buddies PB. I just cannot wait to feel that invigorating thump again! Thanks everyone! Quote
