Paulf Posted February 13, 2005 Posted February 13, 2005 IT WORKED!!!!!!!!! Now if I can only remember what I just did. Anyway, that was fleet-footed Aaron. I'll try posting some more pictures in a bit. Paulf
Paulf Posted February 13, 2005 Posted February 13, 2005 Before these two pictures were taken, Dipperdan was seen encouraging Aaron to venture where no man has gone before. Thats all it took. See picture below
Paulf Posted February 13, 2005 Posted February 13, 2005 And now, here is dipperdan yelling "Look ma, no hands". Later I'll post some pics of Matt and Rick, have to resize them.
pacres Posted February 13, 2005 Posted February 13, 2005 Congrats on getting it Paul. Hopefully this will reduce your stress levels on the forum.
Paulf Posted February 14, 2005 Posted February 14, 2005 Darren, stress now reduced. However a monster has been created. I have a backlog of photos to post. Time to catch up. Thanks for the tips and advice in posting pictures. Paulf
jjtopspin Posted February 14, 2005 Posted February 14, 2005 Paul, what size did you use to post these pictures? Very nice pictures! Joe L.
Paulf Posted February 14, 2005 Posted February 14, 2005 Joe I reduced them to 600 x 450 pixels. Seems to work well. Darren really helped me out last Wednesday, gave me a few pointers and suggestions. Paulf
Scratch Posted February 14, 2005 Posted February 14, 2005 Funny... All those pictures from you guys from the Red Deer - and none of your pictures look like this one....
dipperdan Posted February 14, 2005 Posted February 14, 2005 Nice fish guys ! But we drove by the fish truck on the way back ! Glad you weren't skunked it helps to know that Feb is not a lost cause on the Old Red Deer. Thanks for the pict. proof
Scratch Posted February 14, 2005 Posted February 14, 2005 It was wicked slow - but there were a few risers that RB and I targeted hard. This one was 10 casts after the rise - so I figured it was a lost cause - but he was still there. TONS of suckers in the water - probably eyeballed 40 suckers over 2 lbs - but the dumb fish can't be caught without a few chunks of chicken... Certainly slow at this time of year - but it was good to see as many redd's as we did from the fall. Looks like the browns are keeping healthy in there...
