    Neal,
    I think this is an awesome idea… a collection of what has been discussed would make getting to the info much easier. Also, I believe a similar thread on macro/shooting flies would be advantageous.

    Thank you Neal,

    in reply to: Polarized Filter #66183

    I may have asked this in the past, but could someone lay out some easy rules for when we are suppose to use the Polarized filter and when we are not?

    Thanks,
    D.

    David,
    Being a photographer, and making a comment like that, I would expect to see some images of the fine Australian beaches, plus whatever may choose to grace them with their naked presence. Just a thought.

    I love those reels! I sold the hell out of them and bought a few as well. I really do not use anything else. Plus they take a beating, like when we are on a flat at RR and the whole rig ends up in the mud for the post-catch pic or when you open your gear back too fast and send a reel flying across the parking lot. I’m glad that gear is still working for you , Shannon, and I would bet it will for years. You can also get that reel at Bass Pro Shops, and it comes in a pale metallic olive, a color only sold at BP.

    Dave,
    The MA’s guts are sealed, while the BBS has exposed gears. That was enough for me as some of the places I fish can get nasty with debris. Plus, if you get the MA, you have a salt ready reel while you should not use the BBS in salt.

    Thanks Cameron. I still have some shots you took of those Cutties when you did the Cuttie-Thon that I want to try my hand at. Once I grow some discipline and sit down and draw, I send you what I come up with.

    That’s just embarrassing! That was also before I learned the wonders of scanning a piece rather than trying to get off a decent shot with my P&S Nikon. I do suppose the ugly one does show a line of progression, though. And the funny thing is that I thought that first one was pretty damn nice right after I finished it. But within the week, and b/c of everyone’s help at Red Dirt, that first one quickly became an eye-sore.

    Great to have you back KP!

    By no means would I currently consider myself to be in the artistic company of KP and Paul, but with their help, and the aid of Jeff Kennedy, I was able to understand aspects of drawing and paint which I previously did not understand.

    KP-Feel free to post anything I have sent your way.

    Mike,
    I believe this has been posted, but it is a good resource nonetheless. Thanks for putting it up!

    Take a look at the link below. Another IA member suggested it to me, and it helped greatly. Also, look at some of the books written by Scott Kelby.

    And after, a box of Imodium AD would serve one well also! 😉

    KP,
    I was thinking of one of these for small stream work:

    Aaron,
    I got my B.A. in Nebraska, where was unfortunate enough to run into “Runzas.” Even on my drunkest college nights, I could not stomach those things. You are a brave man indeed.

    Cameron,
    Black eyed peas, but I thought that was universal.

    I like me some pickled okra as well, but they ain’t red! How do y’all make ’em?

    KP & Cameron,
    There you two go again about glass! What do you do when you are on a tailwater and need to reach out and touch a southern Striper 50+ feet away? Do they have the backbone to put the hurt on the fish when it is time to pull them out of a patch of hydrilla or from under a stump?
    Just askin’?

    BTW Cameron…still want the shirts, just givin’ ya hell.

    Cameron,
    What in the H is in that jar in the second photo that looks like pickled canine pink rockets?

    in reply to: The Christmas Vise #56692

    Shannon,
    If you buy him Renzetti I will disown you! Renzetti’s flagship is >$600. You can get the peak and some accessories for <$200, which would leave four bills for a new rod/reel combo. That being said, come over here or go to BP and look at the Peak vise. They have a great price, and I have never had a problem with mine. They are solid and have many additional features available. They are simple and rugged. My .02 D.

    Looking forward to it Craig! You may also check out the thread Zach started on how to post pics on IA.
