Joey

Super report Fred, sounds like a fun, yet interesting holiday. Some nice fish too boot!!! Joey

Congrats to you and Betty B!!! For some reason, I just can't see you as "grandpa" Joey

Really sorry to hear your mom is going through this. My thoughts are with you and your family. Keep your chin up and make her last little while a happy time so the memories are good ones. As for the musky, nice fish bud, those are some awesome gals. Way to go. Joey

I think its a wonderful opportunity to see more of and learn more about our beautiful country. My parents moved me all over Canada when I was a kid due to my dad's job and I complained most of the time, but now I'd never give up those experiences for anything and treasure most of them. Good luck G and make sure you post some good Sask. reports. Joey

I saw one before too, only once tho and I've looked for it the same place every time I go by, but its never there again (I'm always ready with my camera now, so its never there of course ) I would swear it is an albino heron, but would have to see it again to be positive. Joey

Hope you have a super fantastic day hon!!! Love you! Joey

OMG, I had tears in my eyes after watching that, thanks!!! Joey

Well, she did get a head shot LOL!! Nice fish, way to go on your firsts. Joey

Cool, never seen a chain pickerel before, nor a baby turkey Looks like a nice farm. Really great pics. I'd like to try that eel - maybe one day Hope the people in that accident were okay! Joey

Really awesome pictures, kinda like I was on the trip with you Aren't fishermen a resourceful bunch, when an eel we catch pukes up a leech, we use it as bait Thank for sharing. Joey

Very nice, congrats. What a beauty! Joey

Here's the first batch of pics so I could see what the new camera could do. Don't be too judgemental, I've got alot to learn I'd like to thank the Red Breasted Nuthatches for their cooperation, and also the bee that landed on the flower while I was taking pics Okay, let me have it, what can I do to improve? Thanks, Joey

Great report and pics So, what was the big mistake? Joey

Well I've been lucky enough to see lots of them. They were around since I was a kid too. Kinda ugly, big buggers. Love their noise. Joey

Just the camera, no lens, I found anywhere from $929 to $1200, then the lenses are more. I bought a package and picked my accessories, including the two lenses, a bag, some UV caps and extra rechargeable batteries. Joey

Thanks all, I'm pretty stoked. Learned a few things already this aft

I should be able to get some half decent shots with this now eh!! Joey

Pretty cool. Not vicious at all, like I thought it was going to be. Joey

I think its hilarious. He reminds me of Bob on "That 70's Show." Joey

Just spectacular, wonderful report and pics. Some real beauties there Joey

Wow, congrats, looks like a keeper to me

Poor doggy!! He was protecting you. Hope he gets a big bone, or some brisket, for that!! Joey

NICE!!!!

I used mine very sparingly for the "free" period (which doesn't include what you think it does). Don't give them your credit card number so they can keep it "on file" as they say, because they will automatically bill you when your free period is up, and it is an outrageous price. I got an email stating they were automatically billing me and I called them immediately and cancelled. They tried to sell me a cheaper package at that point, which was still too much, over $45 a month. I thought I had turn by turn directions and the first time I went to use it they said that it was only a trial period (not 12 months like they had hinted) and that it would cost me to sign up for that. The phone was free for 3 months, but then I had to pay for minutes, and I found out that if you don't use them within a certain time period, they don't roll over. I never needed the emergency call button so that never came into play, so I don't know how long that was actually for. Call them up and find out exactly what you get "free." Joey

Ya, you did pretty good for your first time. You'll get better and will be reeling in the monsters in no time. Joey
