I ended up getting myself a nice largemouth bass, probably around 3lbs or so.
and some crappies. for some reason they are just so cute when you yank em up out of the water....
Saw a bunch of water birds, Canadian Geese and some sort of crane/heron that was brown, and had yellow eye marks and feet. And also a Nice great blue. He/she didnt let me get too close though, so the pics arent spectacular. But catching one in flight is fun.
It was a good day. My first real day to myself in some time.... all its been doing is raining here... so to get a nice day on a day im NOT working was a blessing!
I got to play around some more with my Okuma Bait caster too. Its really great once you get the hang of it, but i still need to work on casting better with it and not getting LAZY.
That Water Lilly did NOT WANT to be photographed... i couldnt get anywhere near the thing without putting the canoe near land first and then pushing my way out to the stupid thing! the wind was fighting me every second. Bleh. Im happy with how the flower came out, although not the colors. Photoshop will help there though.
Heron! Fly away! i want a BIG zoom lens for this stuff! AND Image Stabilization! Whee!
