I Love it. Very mystical looking. I like catching a bit of color in my landscape photos as well. This one I took last weekend .

Nice, we tend to get more rock, no one in their right mind goes in the water except for fish.

I camped on the ocean all last week. Still decompressing, hiked some tough rocks
Every morning last week...had some porpoises swimming there one morning

Ever do any fishing there? I could see myself standing on the rock on that little point and casting.

Caught and released a 8 foot sturgeon there with a couple of friends a few summers back. Hooked him up top, he nearly spooled me twice 300 plus yards of 40 lb test, fight lasted nearly 45 minutes and that was with a 10 foot extra heavy one piece Lamiglas rod with a Dawia Sealine real. Line was frayed but held! Largest fish I've ever landed! Good memories!

Yeah I've never tasted one, I think here its 48 to 52 inches or something like that for harvest. I Heard they opened it this year for 11 days or something. I think because the salmon run was down this spring they decided to let the people who bought tags have a chance to harvest a few. Glad sizing is limited, they are truly dinosaurs of the river. I figure that fish I caught was close to 40 years old, I've seen bigger fish up close and the battle marks they have look similar to that of a turtle shells, especially now with seal lions going after them they look even uglier, mine wasn't to bad since he was above Bonneville but still you could tell he'd been around for along long time. Freaking cool! Trying to find a picture.

Nice! I’ve caught ALLOT of white sturgeon, green sturgeon too. I’ve hooked some pretty big ones and got to pet them next to my boat before releasing. I’m still surprised i haven’t made the trip to catch some big ass oversized ones beneath the bonneville dam. I want my picture along with some buddies, holding up a 300-400lber in the water :-)
I’ve caught most of them by boat but have caught dozens bankin it too. Which, I think is the funnest. Love it when they breach and try to spit the hook. Usually happens everytime i hook em from the bank, hardly ever by boat on top of them.

our slot limit for white sturgeon here in Ca is 40-60” now.Thats to the fork of the tail. Was 46-66 tip of tail before the last reg change. A single barbless hook too now.

My friends from Michigan came down for a visit. i mentioned i had gone horseback riding last week, and they immediately took up the idea...Yay....
i did take them to a much nicer place than i went to last week...the horses looked healthier, there were NO rats, the trails were nicer, and the ride was longer.

this was the Big Rock Dude Ranch, in pigeon forge, i recommend it MUCH more highly than the place we went last week, Jayell ranch

This was yesterday, not today but I think it still qualifies.

Momma woke me reminding me I had promised to help repair a marquee with a couple of other guys so not wanting to be late I scramble to get ready.
I groggily dole out the vitamins & maintenance meds for Her and I + meds for the big boy (allergy stuff), sweep mine off the counter into my palm & down the hatch in a smooth move. . . And then I realize that those weren't my pills. Called poison control & they sent an ambulance. Dude said this happens way more often than you would think, spoke to the med manufacturer, poison control & the ER Doc.

Then he told me told me not to lick my butt in the middle of the street.

Got stoned in a harbor at the crack of dawn, then took a short stroll before work.
Back to the lakes tomorrow, should be some leaf color and morning mist.

I read that as help repair a manatee (thanks @Paul Drake). I prefer my version :bigjoint:
PS stop poisoning yourself and lick someone else's butt.
