Fish-aholic · January 20, 2016, 07:06:39 PM

That's the spirit, Andy. How did you find the ease of use?

steelhead_killer · January 20, 2016, 07:35:42 PM

Well I am kinda a software geek and a camera guy so pretty easy really. I want to steal your idea the next time I am out fishing in the evening and get some down the length of the rod. Thanks for the inspiration!

Would explain the professional and vibrant look of your avatar.

I've been inspired many times by the great folks who frequent here, so it's good to give a little of it back.

I shall look forward to seeing your entrapped sunsets.

Steve.
