Do you need stoves and the such? I have my propane coleman and another 3 burner regular fuel coleman. I plan on being there as well… I’ll help in any way I can. And I can bring 2 lanterns as well.

Check your PM. I gave you a phone # of a Local in Pawley’s Island and a good friend of my father. I have fished with in the past and he can help you out. He is a bait slinger but could tell you everything that is going on and where to go.
Does anyone know a pattern that would look like a Mud Minnow. That is what they use as bait for the flounders.

You guys got me thinking and as a pant – I would love to see is Patagonia came out with one also. The Patagonia waders tend to be a little softer and would be like wearing a regular pair of pants.
James – I’ll ask about cloudveils when i come down – the Hawk already has most all of my business. You all have been great with replacing most of my stuff and really helped with insurance info.
cool… Paul, the cloudveils look sweetl but are spendy. Could you let me know if the Simm’s offer a pant and I’ll come down to the shop?
I talked to Simms… No Deal – The closest they will do is the new G3 Guide Convertible.
They said that maybe I could find them on the internet so this is all I can find in the pant wader category.

Red BallJay, I have to commend you as well. I have been trying one way or another to build a site for years. Finally I have done so. The hardest part is just getting started, doing it and sticking with it.
Nice Job.
Neal, my parents have an old 1800s barber chair that came out of my Grandfathers Barber Shop that would take your collection over the top.
YKK is a Japanese company.
I never really thought about it until this thread but the reason I asked was because I use to pass a YKK plant daily right outside of old town Marietta.
Brian, I am going to find out out much the pants would be special ordered. I’ll let everyone know. Even the lightest weight version would rock.
Can someone tell me why they stopped making the Guide Pants. That is the one piece of equipment that usually stayed with me like my rod. Now I have to get them from another manufacture.
I do have to say – I messed up and bought the G3 stockingfoots instead of the convertible because I didnt know the convertible existed. The stockingfoots are sweet but I miss my pants.
Another question – Is YKK based out of Marietta?
Carter – I did get the D60. I’ll hold off a little bit to see the new that comes out. I broke out my old smoked damaged camera to look through and see what I use to see, the old 50mm is about equal to the new at 35mm. I can wait a little because I do have something that works.
I will hit the shops around here to see what is in the used category but will probably buy new because this is the primary way I like to shoot basically what you see is what you get.
The “prime lens” part answered what I meant to ask on that part of the question.
Unless you have a great suggestion on a have to have Macro that would take great bug and flower pictures – the one I cannot live without. I was going to try to keep my lens count low.
And this event is coming up Sat Aug 23, 2008 in Decatur if you are out and about. Cliff Valley Music Conspiracy.
Thanks Zach, You answered the question with what I thought the answer was. I shot everything for years with a 50mm only and had a 100-400mm for any other shots and a 2x extension for real long shots. I always tried to open up the aperture all the way and keep it basic. That was with film and the digital thing had me thinking because I can shoot so much more.
I am thinking about getting a 50mm fixed to shoot the way I use to and keep it basic (or should that be 33mm?). But now I can shoot B&W and Color without the separate bodies.
Another question comes up. Do people still shoot with a yellow filter with digital when wanting black and white? Or do I just do the magic in Photoshop?
It is nice to have all these links in one thread. Everyone has such great work. Maybe I’ll figure out this new camera and start trying to add to the mix but until then I’ll keep playing with the computer and doodling.
