todays fishin' report

got lucky and found some dumb ones this morning.

pink yarn and beaded pheasant tails were the hot hand

Most landed were of average size, and one fresh male that might of tipped the scales at close to 8 pound.

only one landed was of real noteworthiness though.
It was all  silver and black/grey color, and all I had to do was reach down and grab out of the crick








IT WAS MY CANON CAMERA!!!
(no, it's not water proof)

GRRRRRRRRR


..L.T.A.

genie,
     Always attach your camera to a laynard some how, and keep it securely fastened to your vest or neck.  (do not do as one friend did and wrap the laynard around the camera and then put the camera in an open pocket.).  If your camera doesn't have a laynard ring use the little hand strap and if that isn't there; glue a ring from a key ring to it.   It may be a little ugly but it won't get wet.

I've seen people go in the drink with it around their necks...


Your NOT SAFE ANYWHERE PEOPLE!

A waterproof is definately in my own future. A friend has one, and besides not having to worry about drops, the underwater pictures are among the neatest I've seen.

Thanks for tips, Gents

Blueh, mine is a Powershot too
I agree it's an excellent digi cam.
I've had it for years and it gets abused like all my gear.

it's drying as we speak, hopefully it will be good to go when I toss some fresh batteries in in another day or so.
If it's bit the bullet, I'll probably replace it with another Powershot

Thanks for link Skyler, I've been considering a waterproof digi for years.
Probably would already have one if the big box stores had them on the shelf.

It's not that I don't buy things on-line, it's just that I'm more of impulse buyer.
When buying on-line I think about "need" and money more
where if I walk into a Wal-mart or Sam's I may plunk down the dough cause I can walk out with it then

I know it doesn't make $ense, it's just the way i am

the TSA lost my 2yr old olympus 720 SW (shockproof waterproof)
bought a new one this weekend and did all the SW research again
 
i buy a camera with the idea that the best pictures happen fast and in adverse condiditons
and don't want me camera to be a limitation

seen a 35mm at west fo 50 bucks a underwater too boot, ya fishing was a blast sat lots a dime brite bucks and a few hens

For the best result in drying out a camera put it in a ziplock bag packed with rice ( dry and un cooked ) 

While stationed in Hawaii in 1993 or so.........I did purchase a Canon Sure Shot A1 with panorama--waterproof--FILM CAMERA........that camera has been used and abused and still takes great photos.......I have not replaced the gaskets and last time it was used.......it was still waterproof.....up to 15 feet down....it has an underwater mode for fish pictures.........AWESOME CAMERA..........I think I saw some on ebay--brand new--for half of what I paid.........I think I dished out 130 or so back in the day for the camera
 
 last year I bought an Olympus Stylus 790 SW digital--chartreusey green color!!!........takes great photos......waterproof to 10 feet (?) and shock proof from 5 feet to the floor.......it has taken many family photos.........a few fish photos....but nothing underwater yet........7.1 Megapixels........if you have big fingers.....it might be hard to use....the buttons are tiny...........but a great camera nonetheless...it has all kinds of picture modes.......a macro mode.......(which I have not mastered yet?)  tiny camera and fits in a shirt pocket........i have dropped it numerous times already......and so have the kids..........it has a nick here and a nick there........no worse for the wear !!!
I think I shelled out 250 bucks for the camera

Eckerd Drug stores(I do not think this conflicts with FISHUSA?) carries a disposable digital camera with a view screen. You can see and delete unwanted pics, but it only stores 27 before you have to turn it in. But you can't download from it, but its nice for the creeks.

LOVING the 1030SW
 
watch out for the 1050- they trimmed some of the Wide angle capabilities
850- is not all metal has plastic sides, which scares me
