Wow - what an amazing place.
Thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Justin
Awesome pictures
Not only is Lake Powell spectacular, but it's also huge. Thanks for the photos...
Very nice. That was recently featured in a tv program saying that it's one of the places one should go before they kick the bucket. Very nice. Respect the native indians as it's a very sacred place.
Cool...You should see the set-ups Hawaiian Jet Skiers have. Crazy guys are bringing in Marlin, Wahoo, and Tuna on those crafts.
We normally go around 70 miles up the lake and stay 5 days. the lake at full pool is 180 miles long.

(http://i987.photobucket.com/albums/ae357/DAVEMCCALL12345/LIGHTENING-STRIKE3-1.jpg)
That lighting shot is almost impossible at sea, mind sharing you have done it ;-)
A FRIEND DID IT WITH HIS CAMERA. I JUST HAVE A CHEAP OLYMPUS, BUT WATER PROOF.
Wow, not that's a lightning shot. Only saw one lightning strike close up when we were surf fishing in Hawaii. Started to pour, then all the surfers came in. Not 5 minutes later, lightning strike bouncing on the water. Very cool, but scary. I didn't understand why my fishing rods didn't get hit since there were 13 feet up in the air, wet, tracking to ground, but was sure scary trying to get our gear in for us to leave.
That shot made the air on my hair stand up. When I was in high school, worked on a state fire crew in Washington state. I was 400 yards from two guys on my crew that were hit by lightning. Other than the fact they got hit by lightning, they were very lucky. One of the other firecrews had an emt and he was able to perform cpr on the one guy til his heart started back up. There were 2 helicopters patrolling within 5 minutes of us. There was a logging "landing" large enough for either chopper to land except it was full of trucks. The fireboss said" you got 2 minutes to get all the trucks cleared, any left just use the cat to get em out of the way". One of the trucks was a Peterbuilt truck cab with a 3000 gallon water tank, the guy that moved that truck hopped down from the cab and said, "How the heck did I do that, I've never driven anything bigger than a pickup. Anyways, the guys were airlifted to a hospital about 10 minutes by air away, and both were back at work with in a week or so.
THIS BOIL WAS OVER A MILE LONG. WAS TAKEN A COUPLE YEARS BACK. THIS YEAR IS GOING TO BE ANOTHER GOOD YEAR FOR BOILS.

I KNOW CARP FISHING IS BIG IN EUROPE. I TAKE MY CAN OF CORN OUT SOMETIMES TO SIT BACK AND HAVE SOME FUN. HERE'S A VIDEO FOR A LAKE IN UTAH IN THE US.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6u7r0dbw1I&feature=player_embedded
The carp shouldn't have been put in the Utah lake.
Not sure if you all want to see any more of my Powell pictures? I enjoy showing them as I enjoy seeing others pic. These digital cameras make it so simple and cheep.
have a good one.

Keep up the good work Dave, never tire of beautiful scenery. Makes a change from looking at fishing reels. ;)
Nice! ;D
The lightning shot is spectacular - thanks for sharing.
QuoteI didn't understand why my fishing rods didn't get hit since there were 13 feet up in the air...
I know what you mean Bryan.
I was surfing in Sydney around 2000 when the usual summer afternoon thunderheads built up and unleashed a few dozen strikes.
One hit the water less than 100m from us, causing an audible crack and fizz, along with a lot of misted water.
I've no idea why we weren't hit, given we were sitting on our boards and a good three feet higher than anything in the vicinity.
Great experience though.
Cheers, Justin
Is that stripers pushing the bait up ?
YUP
FILET A FEW FISH.

COUPLE OTTERS FROM POWELL.
(http://i987.photobucket.com/albums/ae357/DAVEMCCALL12345/OttersBIG-1.jpg)
Bewdiful, just to see that makes any trip worth while.
FOUND THE REST OF THE TEAM. WE WERE ALL FISHING DOWN THE COVE TOGETHER.
(http://i987.photobucket.com/albums/ae357/DAVEMCCALL12345/PA100017.jpg)
You're making me hungry, I've got a "healthy" "oven fried" fish and chips recipe, and for being bad, a beer batter recipe.
Around here, those guys take over the marina's, poop all over the boats, raid the bait coolers, (they figure out how to open them), and make a general mess of you boat it you leave anything that even remotely smells like there's food in it, but they look cute.
I believe we need a recipe section. Alan/Bryan?
WE DEFINITELY NEED A RECIPE SECTION :D.
We've all heard the saying: one man's bitter is another man's sweet. Just knowing how to prepare fish makes "junk" fish a real "treat". I ran into two guys from Thiland/Vietnam who worked at a family restauraunt that told me they had a great recipe for Bonito; and all I had ever heard was "they dont taste good".
Ive heard the same for Barracuda, and another guy decades ago turned me on to preperation and cooking recipe and when I got back home I fired up both grills in the condos where I lived at the time and fed all 20 units. Everyone was asking what kind of fish is it this time Leo; this tastes terrific. When I told them it was Barracuda, they all said that they never heard that barracuda was good to eat. Long story short; I only ate a little pinch to sample and everyone else in my condo complex was grubbing-down and cooking all the extras and we all ate great meals (except me, no barracuda).
If you want my Barracuda recipe then we need a recipe section. STAY TUNED ::)
Leo
Still working on it. We want to have a good title and not just the plain old "receipe" section. Stand by, it will be up before you know it.
TASTE BUD..DIES
Thanx Bryan, I know you guys plates are full. Look forward to it.
Leo
NOW THE FILLETING STARTS.

Lovely, thanks for sharing.
The goal is 5 million pounds per year! That is an incredible amount of fish for one lake.
FIRST OFF I'M A TERRIBLE RIGHTER AND IF IT WASN'T FOR SPELL CHECK I WOULD BE IN DEEP POP.
I GOT AN EMAIL CONCERNED ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF STRIPERS CAUGHT. POWELL IS A DIFFERENT LAKE THAN ANY PLACE. STRIPERS REPRODUCE IN POWELL IN THE MILLIONS. WAYNE, THE FISH BIOLOGIST SAYS TO KEEP EVERY FISH YOU CATCH TO HELP THE LAKE OUT. TO FIND OUT ABOUT LAKE POWELL, GO TO WAYNESWORDS.COM AND ENJOY.
I WOULD LIKE TO SOME OF YOUR CATCHES AND PLACES THAT YOU FISH.
HAVE A GOOD DAY
DAVE
i have had filled ice chests full of fish on rare days. there are a couple of "guidelines" that pretty much everyone adhere's to anyway, so here goes.....
- the catch has to be taken legally according to the local rules and regulations. no posting of illegal catches, unless it is subsequent to an arrest.
- the catch can not be wasted. if you are going to take a legal limit of fish and then throw it in a dumpster, i do not want to hear about it.
- if the catch is taken legally, properly handled, and then served up for dinner (sooner or later), then i do not believe that criticism is in order.
on a good rock cod day, we can land 10 rockfish each. five of us can legally take 50 rockfish. these fish are iced, scaled, gutted, gilled and put back on ice and then shared among friends and neighbors. the are given to people that we know appreciate fresh rockfish and will savor every bite. easily 20 families get to partake. i do not believe that any of these are ever even frozen. i think everyone here is consciencious and responsible. just remember that the standards for a community can vary, country to country, even state to state.
QuoteFIRST OFF I'M A TERRIBLE RIGHTER...
That may be true, but you sure know how to take a cracker photo! ;) ;D
Thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Justin
I cut and pasted this from the Utah regs, looks like he's in the clear, I don't see an endangered fish in that cooler. That might be the picture that gets my wife to hit Lake Powell for stripers (we did stripers on the Sacramento years ago)
STRIPERS NO LIMIT
Keep all stripers caught, especially the small ones to keep the population in balance with the forage base. Immediately put stripers on ice in a cooler and fillet them as soon as possible for excellent eating. The best method of keeping striped bass for the freezer is to vacuum seal fillets before freezing.
ENDANGERED FISH: RELEASE IMMEDIATELY, POSSESSION NOT ALLOWED.
Colorado pikeminnow (Squawfish), razorback sucker, humpback chub, bonytail chub, flannelmouth sucker.
Congratulations holeinthwater for a super catch.
Those fish are good size and wonderful for the dinner table. Btw, how do you folks cook them? Fried fillets, oven baked, or steamed?
Oh, and that picture of the sun ray coming down from the clouds....awesome. Looks like you would find that in a religious bookstore with some words of wisdom scribed in the backgroud. :)
I was the one who questioned the amount of stripers and small ones' at that. I didn't wanna make a big stink so I PM'ed Dave. Thanks for clearing that up, and glad you had a good day on the water. If you guys ever read any books on the bass massacres in the 70's and 80's that lead to the 90's moritorium... pretty sad story. Seeing that cooler with so many shorts reminded me of those days when I caught 1 striper over a 3 year period :'(
It makes sense due to the lack of draggers, clammers, scallop boats, etc. running through Lake Powell >:(
Now I know where all the short stripers in Chinatown come from ;)
Tight lines,
Dom
Southern Calif is split on the striper limit..
Kern County and north its 2 over 18"...
Down south of Kern Co its 10 Stripers no size limit...
They overtake our lakes and the Bass & other fishing suffers. Many are trying to get the Limit raised "no limit" or at least 20+..
They are very good eating (from what Iam told).
So with a Larger limit the population would be kept in check??? and the LMBass anglers would be much happier!!
I am one of those Bass (LMB) anglers. I say take all you want......
they breed like cockroaches!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
.
I totally agree with the removal of carp from Lake Utah. The carp isn't a native species to the lake and it has to go.
I REMEMBER A FEW YEARS BACK, WHEN THERE WAS 8 OR SO BOATS FISHING A SCHOOL OF STRIPERS. WHEN WAYNE SHOWED UP. I ASHED HIM HOW MANY STRIPERS HE THOUGHT WERE IN THIS SCHOOL. HE SAID BETWEEN 5000 AND 10000.
(http://i987.photobucket.com/albums/ae357/DAVEMCCALL12345/P5050033.jpg)
When I was in the SF bay area I cooked my stripers this way.
filet the fish, remove the dark stipe on meat
Place corn meal and some McCormick season all in a brown paper bag, drop in fish, shake, drop into hot oil and remove when light brown. We would catch some in the evening at Alameda Naval Air and fix them for lunch.
also reminds me of a funny story, when I married my wife she said, "you catch it and I'll clean it and cook it" Well that sounded good to me. The first time I came home and put a 20# striper in the sink she said, "get that thing out of my kitchen, it stinks", it was only cought 1 hr. earlier in the evening. It's ok, we are no longer together....Lynn
Brian posts on 2Coolfishing.com often. Great pics always. JEE
LIFE IS GOOD. WENT FISHING AT A LOCAL LAKE (BARTLETT). WE BROUGHT HOME 20 CHANNEL CATS FOR THE TABLE.

we will be heading to Powell this time next week. going for five days. They took the limit of walleye this year. going to try little harder to help out. The large mouth bass have been coming back strong on the lake also. Going to try and make a video this trip.

Great looking country. I am starting to feel like I have to go to Lake Powell. By the way when I first looked at the photo it looked like there was a giant crocodile in the foreground. Did anyone else get that impression. If not go back and look at the photograph and report your observations. Dominick
Hey Dominick I see what you mean, and I do have my glasses on.
How about you?

Dominick, I replaced my glasses with a glass of zin and wouldn't you know it, I do see a giant crocodile ::)
Sal: Next time go for a bottle. A bottle of zin will set you free. After a half bottle you see cows. By the time you finish the bottle you see cow alligators. ;D Dominick
Dominick, I didn't want to say anything but I think our boss has been hitting that fully stocked fridge in the garage ;D. Wow, cow alligator :o.
Cow alligators? Sounds more like absinthe than zin! ;) ;D
Great quote though Dominick ('A bottle of zin will set you free').
Sounds like something Lord Byron would say. ;)
I'm going blind or must not be smokin' and drinkin' the same stuff as youz guysz. Not seein' no Cow nor a Croc in this pic!!!
Should I be zooming in? or tilting my head? Look close at this image and tell me you see either or.

You're nuts Steve ;D ;D, but very creative. You know, it took me a while to find that darn cow. Alan was right all along.
Steve-O: Very funny. That's a Crocogila Monster. I was mistaken in my first post. I am waiting for Hole in the Water to weigh in. While I'm waiting I think I'll open another bottle of Zin. Justin wasn't it Lord Byron who said "When we two parted in silence and tears" we left behind an empty bottle of Zin? ;D Dominick

Great shot mate.
Auckland is honeycombed with lava tubes and, from time to time, a back garden will collapse into a big (formerly unknown) underground cavity.
The local water board has run significant parts of Auckland's water infrastructure through lava tubes and even turned some of the larger cavities into reservoirs.
There's long been stories of tubes that run beneath our Waitemata Harbour, that Maori used to get to and from the North Shore.
A hundred-odd years ago, a local tribe at Mount Albert even had to flee through a lava tube as another tribe overran their 'Pa' or fort.
Keep 'em coming HitW.

Last fall caribou, solo hunt. Hopefully I'll pick up a griz and some wolf this winter and maybe get the trap line out this year. Really depends on snow fall this year. We had about 460 inches in town this past winter and over 600 inches where I go for fur bearers. Plus it was a little windy, we hit 152mph gusts and over 100mph sustained so it was a struggle just to convince myself to open the front door, lol.

Not really sure how bad your shoulders are but if you have a chance try a PSE Omen in 50lb. It just might wanna change your mind. The only bad thing is that the draw length is non adjustable so you need to know what your exact DL is.
Got to Neskai Tuesday 2pm wind blowing faster than we were going 20 MPA. Got camp set up in a sand storm. Wind died down around 4pm.
Went fishing in the upper bay across from camp. caught around 30 fish on top water and sweet beavers. Wednesday morning went back across the bay a caught another 60 plus on top water and sweet beavers and grubs. Wind came up went back to camp. That afternoon went back out only caught around 20 fish the last 30 min. before dark on top water. James want to go to Zahn the next day. We usually catch bigger fish up there, not the quantity. Up at first light and head to Zahn. Fished until 10 am only caught 8 fish. Bay was muddy and junk floating all over it. Headed back down the lake wind blowing like crazy. Set in camp until about 4pm, wind still blowing, decided to go over to Neskahi wash and get some protection from the wind. Started out with sweet beavers and grubs, started catching right away off the point that comes into the Neskahi cove but couldn't keep the toon into position, wind. Headed down the cove, just before you get into the canyon shallow water. started throwing top water and the bite was on. Had no idea what you would catch, large mouth, small mouth or striper. Fished until just before dark and they were still going. cleaned around 60 fish that night. Headed back over the next morning. we threw nothing but top water the rest of the morning. We caught over a hundred fish that morning. The backs of the coves were packed with shad.
Wind came up had to go back to camp. Went back that afternoon and only caught around 40 plus. Friday was slower had to use grubs and cranks but still caught a bunch of fish. Fished Saturday morning for a couple hours and caught around 30 fish,. picked up camp and headed home. We drove 163 miles up and back on the lake. ANOTHER GREAT TRIP.
DAVE.
A FEW FISH WE CAUGHT ON TOP WATER

Good job Dave!
You've been catching boat loads of fish, I'm hopng you have a big freezer ;D
Thanks for sharing.

Looks like a great trip,good eating too.
OK, I'll ask the "Come in Spinner" question;
What is "top water fishing"?
Good report and good pics.
Luv the look of Lake Powell. Is it fresh or salt water.
DON'T KNOW WHY THE CAMERA MAKING NOISE.

Dave, from my understanding, topwater fishing is using topwater lures (popper, pencil bait, frog, etc) to catch fish..
the take will be like "kaabushhh!!" ;D

It's a Colorado River impoundment, fresh.

ANY THING I POST IS YOURS. AS YOU CAN SEE I ENJOY SHOWING MY TRIPS. OUR NEXT TRIP TO POWELL WILL BE OCTOBER 3-7.
I LAY UP THERE AT NIGHT AND LOOK AT THE STARS, WHAT A SIGHT. NO OTHER LIGHTS IN 40 MILES. I WISH I HAD A CAMERA THAT COULD CAPTURE THAT. I'VE COUNTED AS MANY AS 13 JET IN THE SKY THAT I CAN SEE. OR UFO'S.

Hole looks like you've fishing Powell all summer...what's the water level look like this year compared to the past??? levels going down, up or holding steady....thanks Bill
LAST TIME I LOOKED IT WAS 3620 FT ELEVATION. 37OO FT IS FOOL POLL. IT IS STILL AROUND 500 FT DEEP AT THE DAMN. IT IS USED FOR POWER GENERATION AND WATER STORAGE.
BY THE WAY MY NAME IS DAVE.
BTW, Dave, TARFU's name is Bill.
Bryan: He knows that, he just does not want to be called Hole. ::) Dominick
THE WIFE CALLS ***HOLE ALL THE TIME. I THINK HER FOR THE COMPLIMENT. WITH OUT ONE WE WOULD ALL BE FULL OF IT.
not married but everyone calls me that too. btw nice pics, somebody could get lost out there
GETTING MY STUFF READY THIS WEEKEND FOR OUR NEXT TRIP TO POWELL. THERE IS FOUR OF US GOING AND I CAN ONLY TAKE SIX POLES AND TWO BAGS OF STUFF. DECISIONS ?? SHOULD BE A GREAT TRIP. GOING TO MEET SOME OF THE GUYS OFF WAYNESWORDS.COM THAT I HAVE NEVER SEEN IN PERSON. WE WILL BE LEAVING WEDNESDAY MORNING AROUND 4AM. WE SHOULD BE HEADING UP THE LAKE AROUND 11AM. 60 MILES TO OUR CAMPING SITE.
HOPE THE BITE IS AS GOOD AS LAST TIME.

Great pics and attitude. glad you made it back. Bob
glad to hear everyone's safe....how did you loose the lower end? The weather looks like it could have played a factor.
If it's not stressful enough to have the lower unit drop out... you had a "perfect storm" to deal with :o
Glad ya made it safe and sound, and from one boat owner to another... you weren't kidding about the money statement/ under statement ;)
Dom
DEFINITION OF A BOAT. BUT ONLY ANOTHER THOUSAND AND MINEA HOLE IN THE WATER THAT YOU THROW MONEY INTO.. TOM AND I PRETTY MUCH BUILT THIS BEAST.

Great project shots of the beast. The guy/friend who introduced me to fishing along time ago; he and I built his first two skiffs together. The first being a 40's eara hull and the later being a beautiful Parker hull. Your photo's brought back fond memories (even the birth of my friends first son).
You two know every inch and electrical connection on that craft. Good fishing
Leo
Great project there. Love the folding sun roof. First six wheel boat trailer I've seen, but at 4 1/2 tons I'm not surprised.
Forgive my ignorance, I don't have any experience with pontoon boats. But why would you want to a centerline pontoon? Is a a stability thing?
TO CARRY MORE GAS AND WEIGHT. WE GO ON OUR TRIPS TO POWELL AND GO 200 MILES AND STAY 5 DAYS. NOT TO MANY GAS STATIONS OR STORES.
HAVE A GREAT DAY.
(http://i987.photobucket.com/albums/ae357/DAVEMCCALL12345/PA030008.jpg)
Likewise Dave! ;) ;D
TOOK COUPLE DAYS OFF WORK. I'M ONLY ON MY COMPUTER WHEN AT WORK. THE WIFE ONLY HAS DIAL UP AND I REFUSE TO USE IT. WENT FISHING AT ONE OF OUR LOCAL LAKES(BARTLETT) FRIDAY. AFTER A NASTY STORM ROLLED THREW THURSDAY NIGHT. I TOOK A NASTY FALL GETTING INTO MY PARTNERS BOAT IN THE MORNING. PULLED MY GROIN MUSSEL. IT IS BLACK AND BLUE AND HURTS. WE STILL FISHED UNTIL THE AFTERNOON. WE ENDED UP WITH 17 LARGE MOUTH BASS. THE LARGEST WAS ONLY AROUND 2LBS.

ON THE TRIP UP THE LAKE WE DO 20MPA. ON THE WAY BACK 24MPA. THE LAKE IS OVER 3600FT. I'VE SEEN PEOPLE COME FROM SEA LEVEL AND THEIR BOATS WON'T GET ON PLAN. THERE IS A GUY THAT WORKS IN MY COMPLEX THAT HAS A 32FT TRITOON. IT HAS 2 225 HP EVENRUDES . SAYS IT WILL DO 60 MPA.
GOING FISHING TO APACHE LAKE. IT IS A LAKE ON THE SALT RIVER CHAIN OF LAKES. WE WILL BE FISHING FOR SMALL MOUTH BASS , LARGE MOUTH BASS AND IT HAS WALLEYE. IT IS ABOUT A 2.5 HR DRIVE FROM PHOENIX.

How does the Holeinthewater ride with that center line pontoon? I think I saw one picture of it in the water with it.
HAVE A GREAT DAY. DIDN'T GET TO GO FISHING THIS WEEKEND. WE WORKED ON THE HOLEINTHEWATER. OUR PARTS SHOULD BE IN THIS WEEK. THE REBUILT LOWER UNIT AND OUR 5 IN EXTENSION KIT.

Wonderful sight,thank's for sharing.

what lure do you use for that ;D
HAVEN'T SHOT SENSE JULY. MET SOME GUY'S I USED TO SHOOT LEAGUES WITH LAST NIGHT AT THE RANGE. THE SHOULDER IS FEELING PRETTY GOOD.

Hmm, poor phone poles.
Nice Dave.
Looks like a Browning Citori Lightning, same as the one I used. I was a club member and went weekly, haven't done it for a long time. I'm not sure my messed up shoulder could take it anymore. You probably know Doves are not easy to hit, I didn't miss many during my time, my field gun was a Franchi 500, with a 26" barrel.
Take care, Sal
I SHOOT A BERETTA 3901 AUTO. I DO MY OWN RELOADING, KEEP THEM ON THE LIGHT SIDE. I ONLY SHOT 50 ROUNDS LAST NIGHT. THE SHOULDER IS NOT FEELING TO BAD. GOING OUT WITH COUPLE GUY TODAY WE NORMALLY SHOOT AROUND 100. SEE HOW I DO AFTER THAT.
Nice gun the Beretta, i have used it.
My trap gun is a Beretta MKII, before I got sick I was considering moving to sporting clays but funding went away.
I haven't shot in quite awhile. I have a Browning Light 12. Dominick
Looks like an interesting course. I shot a wooded / farm field course, use a Beretta 682 Gold Sporting. Lots of fun, mostly a social event.
Charlie
ONLY FOUR DAYS UNTIL MY TRIP TO LAKE AMISTAD,TEXAS. GOING ON A GUIDED TRIP WITH A FRIEND. THE LAKE PRODUCES SOME NICE LARGE MOUTH BASS. NEVER BEEN THERE. HERE IS A NICE POWELL PIC TO START YOUR DAY.
(http://i987.photobucket.com/albums/ae357/DAVEMCCALL12345/SLICKROCKWATERFALL.jpg)
Very nice photo, thanks. I was on Lake Powell for my honeymoon, its 26 years ago. We spended 6 weeks in USA from California (Mojave) to the border to Canada and back 10000 miles. Then from San Diego back to Mojavedessert. Was a great holiday.
Great shot - thanks Dave.

THIS LADY SHOT A NICE MULLEY. 10X6. SAID SEE TOOK HER BOOTS OFF TO BE QUITE AND GOT WITH IN 360 YARDS.
(http://i987.photobucket.com/albums/ae357/DAVEMCCALL12345/BIGBUCK.jpg)
Very nice,buck of a lifetime
Very nice indeed Dave, thanks for sharing.
I wouldn't be comfortable sleeping with that young Lady if she was my wife, she's deadly with no shoes on ;D.
Yes , it is a buck of a lifetime. And 360yd is a long way off for most everyone. Excellent shot.
Sal, if she is taking her shoes off and walking barefooted in Az desert, I imagine her feet are quite calloused and rough to the touch- I dont think she would be a good candidate for marriage at all.
Also, I bet that buck did not taste great. I would have to make jerky out of the whole thing.
GOT COUPLE MORE PIC

We're probably entering dangerous territory, but here goes. :-\
Joel, I think you are being too harsh. If I was single and a similar lady came into my life, I would ask her to send a photo of her rifle. ;D Seriously though, I think such a lady is quite a catch. No frilly foo-foo women for me.
I'll bet that buck will make great chili,tamales,and spaghetti.Now for the woman aspect I prefer mine killin deer too,always good to have another hand in the field.And thats why they make socks :D
WHEN THE WIFE AND I FIRST GOT MARRIED 37 YEARS AGO. I TRIED TO GET HER INTO FISHING AND HUNTING WITH ME. SHE THOUGHT FISHING WAS BORING. BOUGHT HER A T/C IN 357 CAL. TOOK HER OUT JAVELNIA HUNTING. SHE GOT ONE. SHE WENT ALONG ON A COUPLE ELK TRIPS WITH ME, BUT DIDN'T WANT TO HUNT ANY MORE. MY KIDS DIDN'T LIKE TO FISH OR HUNT EITHER. GUESS I PASSED ON THE WRONG GENES.

LEAVING TOMORROW TO HEAD TO LAKE AMISTAD. WILL TALK TO YOU ON TUESDAY AND HOPEFULLY HAVE SOME PIC OF SOME BIG LARGE MOUTH BASS. LOOKS LIKE THE WEATHER GOING TO BE NICE 80'S WITH OVER CAST.
(http://i987.photobucket.com/albums/ae357/DAVEMCCALL12345/STRIPERCITY.jpg)
good luck on the large mouth and thanks for all the beautiful pics, they sure refreshing first thing in the am.
I need my wife to have nice soft feet- makes them nicer to rub for her. If she were walking around barefoot in the desert I would spend more time giving her pedicures and doing her toe-nails than i do tinkering on reels/guns.
have a great trip!

Beautiful place. Low tide? ;)
FULL POLL IS 3700 FT ELEVATION. THIS WAS TAKEN IN 2004 AT 3580 FT. IT IS AT 3615 FT KNOW AND IF COLORADO AND UTAH DOESN'T GET A BUNCH OF SNOW THE LAKE IS GOING WAY DOWN NEXT YEAR. IT IS STILL OVER 400FT DEEP.
THINGS ARE SLOW HERE BEFORE THE HOLIDAYS. I MAY TAKE OFF TOMORROW. WE ARE CLOSED ALL NEXT WEEK. GOING TO TRY AND GET THE HOLE IN THE WATER BACK TOGETHER WHILE I'M OFF, DO SOME FISHING IF I GET A CHANCE. PROBABLY WON'T BE BACK ON LINE AFTER TODAY UNTIL AFTER NEXT WEEK.
YOU ALL HAVE A SAFE AND ENJOYABLE HOLIDAY THANKSGIVING.

Always a nice shot Dave ;), thanks!
That's the color of the sky that I would like during my Viking burial at sea, but my wife says she's not doing it if I go first :-\.
Might have to hire one of you guys here, but make sure you leave my Senators on the boat with me ;D

totally bored kids.... yup, looks like a christmas picture! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Great photo Dave.
Spent a year laying stone with my father-in-law in Ireland (a decade ago now) and love working with it.
Dry stone masonry in particular is an art form.
Cheers, Justin
Given that region (appears to be SW USA) probably Anasazi masons.
;D
Dave they sure look like they were stacked. Do you know? It does not look like a natural phenomenon. Justin good to see you are back. I was going to email you since we had not heard from you in a while. I always wanted to work with stone but the back would not hold up. Did you know Sal is a mason? Dominick
Yeah Dominick - had something of an enforced layoff as I badly broke my arm, tore ligaments etc and couldn't do much of anything for a while.
Should be good to go by Feb, but just felt like hibernating for a while.
Hope all's well with you and yours and you're looking forward to a spectacular year ;) ;D
All the best mate, Justin
THIS IS IN THE SAN JAUN RIVER ON LAKE POWELL. IT IS MOTHER NATURES WORK. OR ANCIENT ALIENS.

Beautiful picture, Dave. My wife has the same angel on the tree top. Sal
Sal, AT Members, there is a story of Angels on the top of Christmas trees and it goes like this...
When four of Santa's elves got sick, the trainee elves did not produce toys as fast as the regular ones, and Santa began to feel the Pre-Christmas pressure.
Then Mrs Claus told Santa her Mother was coming to visit, which stressed Santa even more.
When he went to harness the reindeer, he found that three of them were about to give birth and two others had jumped the fence and were out, Heaven knows where.
Then when he began to load the sleigh, one of the floorboards cracked, the toy bag fell to the ground and all the toys were scattered.
Frustrated, Santa went in the house for a cup of apple cider and a shot of rum. When he went to the cupboard, he discovered the elves had drunk all the cider and hidden the liquor.. In his frustration, he accidentally dropped the cider jug, and it broke into hundreds of little glass pieces all over the kitchen floor. He went to get the broom and found the mice had eaten all the straw off the end of the broom.
Just then, the doorbell rang, and an irritated Santa marched to the door, yanked it open, and there stood a little angel with a great big Christmas tree. The angel said very cheerfully, 'Merry Christmas, Santa. Isn't this a lovely day? I have a beautiful tree for you. Where would you like me to put it?'
And so began the tradition of the little angel on top of the Christmas tree...Not a lot of people know this. Dominick
All I'm going to say to that is...you're nuts!!! Have another zin, salute ::).
wow. what did he use for bait?
Best Christmas story ever :D ;D

Sorry you have the flu. I had it too even after the flu vaccine. Anyone else who thinks they have the flu, fatigue-aches-fever-cough-sore throat-stuffy nose for less thean 48 hours, see you doctor for Tamiflu which might shorten the time you are sick. Others who are well, get the vaccine.
two girls at work have been hacking for the last 2 weeks and will not stay home. they already started to spread it around. >:( you take care of yourself. this one is nothing to mess with. :-\

Good morning, Dave....nice picture.
Since it is a morning shot, I take it it's from the east.
Proverbs of our ancestors that usually never fail:
"Alba rossa chiama pioggia" ( Red dawn called rain )....rhymes in italian :)
I never venture out when dawn is that beautiful, the other way around if it's at sunset.

nice action shots! oh and nice ford.
Something about old Fords and old Penns..... ;D
had one of these as a teenager. it was a '54 ford, just 2 years older than me! had a little 4 banger engine. the battery box was located in the floorboard on the passengers side and could be accessed from a built in hatch. you could put a small ice chest in place of the battery and then cover the hatch with carpet. never did that, of course, but thought about it! ;D
Classic, I had a 48 ford bonus with a 302 cleveland and holden front end in it. When I first got it it had huge rear tires which were fun in the dry but it handled like a dog on wet lino in the wet.Had to get some saner tires after an incident that made me nearly wish I had worn brown trousers. Good times, thanks for the pic.
Btw that wasn't a misprint, the Cleveland dies ended up with Ford Australia and they destroked the 351 to 302 so they wouldn't have to import the Windsor anymore. The Windsor was a better motor though, I think Ford Australia made the last Clevelands for De Tomaso in the mid 80s.
de tomaso? you mean as in the de tomaso pantera?
Yep that De Tomaso, they used the four bolt main 4v heads and I think they had a four weber set up which must have been a nightmare to tune. I've only ever seen one, I heard they had huge rust issues that lead to a recall in the 70s.
a guy i knew had one when i was in pharmacy school in the late 70's. beautiful car. i'm still a truck guy, though.
I'm a ute and truck fan too,I get from my dad who had a model t he towed out of a swamp as a 14year old and put on jeep rims and tires he got off some marines that were stationed in his home town during world war 2 .He had a model A and a 29 chevy after that.
GOOD MORNING TO ALL

Me too. I have Lake Powell on my bucket list because of your pictures. When is the best time to fish it? Dominick
WE USUALLY DON'T GO UNTIL MAY ON OUR FIRST TRIP. I LIKE JULY THREW OCTOBER BECAUSE YOU CAN GET INTO THE STRIPER BOILS. YOU HAVE TO BRING YOUR OWN SHADE IT CAN BE BRUTAL OUT IN THE SUN ALL DAY. FOR ALL THE INFORMATION ON LAKE POWELL GO TO WAYNESWORDS.COM. WAYNE IS THE FISH BIOLLIGEST FOR POWELL. ONE THING THAT IS IMPORTANT, IS YOU HAVE TO USE FLOROCARBON LINE.
WENT TO THE DOCTOR YESTERDAY, LOOKS LIKE MY LEFT KNEE MESS UP. GOT GET AN MRI. IT IS A #### GETTING OLD. AS LONG AS I CAN KEEP CASTING AND CRAWL ON THE BOAT. MORE OF TONYS PIC.
