I just downloaded ProCamera and it looks like a great camera app. Thanks for the tip! Dusty, I am glad you asked the question.

Not my first rodeo. No reason to be concerned. Keep the audience in mind here – to the best of my knowledge none of these ladies are going to be running guide trips.

In looking at other tying video on the net, I think I’m going to have to wear a dark shirt and have the camera face me.
One of the things I’ve been real interested to find out more about is how stripers got to be in the Gulf waters, and thus the Hooch, in the first place.
As best I can tell from talking to our biologist buddies like Gary Grossman, they must have traveled round the tip of Florida during the last glacial maximum (i.e. 12,000 years ago). That’s really interesting if you think about it; ice sheets got as far south as Virginia, which means here in North Georgia our climate would most likely have been similar to Maine today.
The ones we catch in the Hooch are stocked, obviously, although at least they used Gulf strain brood stock when they planted in West Point Lake (at least the last time–I am not sure how long that’s been going on).
Peter –
See the attachment.
Mike –
Don’t worry man, there’s a ton of water to go around and believe me this is no secret. (Seriously, just google “Chattahoochee Stripers” and you’ll be overwhelmed with results). There’s also no shortage of fish – there’s like 60 miles of river going down to West Point Lake.

Mike,
After reading several threads on this and searching around myself I have ended up with three or four different packs depending on what I am doing. I wrote a short review of my solutions here http://www.scottdonaghe.com/?p=470
