Default first deep one...

of the year.. while i was out fishing with the boys in orange. i was killing time to the get togather, just goofing off-aint it always that way-chunking a deep diver in a boulder strewn area of tuckertown.i don't fish this area very often..

i already hit this area with a blade and got nothing.. went back thru it with a normon +4 that dives 17 feet easy.. hit a laydown in 13 feet of water and picked off a 5.3 pound toad fought like a bucket of water..

as it was raining pretty hard at that time. i could not get a picture camera was saying "moisture"- i tried but the pic did not come out i released the fish- 10 mintues later -it stops raining-my buddy showed up i told him were. he goes and hits the tree nothing i fire a LONG one at the tree and caught this lil begger-who fought like a wet dish rag-



not bad day really it started out pretty bad foggy i found some busters on a main lake point. and with a blade caught 6 in 8 cast.-big about 3 pounds and some dinks- worked my favorite creek and got the biggest hit ever on a shakey head worm but it was just an over zealot dink.



you can just start to see the tree laying on the botton with this depth finder.


other than getting wet up to my knees while loadin the boat- don't ask-today went real good for me..

Thats a pretty good day Zook. Say, whats the color of that crank in the first picture with the green tiger look and the gold back? It's a good looking color pattern.

norman firetiger color-it's standard on norman baits.. guess in clear water it resembles a brim..they work great in the winter for some reason..

How much, (Money-wise), is that depthfinder on the bow, Zook? I was looking into a bow mount this summer.

moose
i have a beat up hp 407 digital that has been around the block and kicked back the long way.. i also use a cannon rebel but a big camera like that is a royal pain to get decent pic's as it almost takes two hands to operate the blasted thing.. if i find another small camera like the hp -size wise- i'll buy it.. trust me on this cell phone cameras are nice but for doing what i do with them they suck.- i have tried taking pic's with my blackberry they turm out ok if there is decent lightin..
