I gotta say that I'm pretty pleased to see that this section of the forum is starting to grow. It's great to see that new people are starting to make photo posts. I wish I new how to write like Dotch, or Catfish, but alas my only contributions for now will continue to be bird photos. Anyways, Hello to all of the new guys and gals, and welcome to FM. Keep them photos coming!

I tried and tried to find web sites like this for Texas but nothing comes close to this excellent web site! I may be in Texas but my thoughts and heart are in Minnesota. In the next few years the wife and I plan on moving up there. She is originally from Lakeville and I am orignally from Michigan. We're both Northerners and outdoor fans and we are stuck in Dallas!

Every year we vacation in Ely (Moose Lake) and always spend a few days at my father-in-laws house in Burnsville.

Cant wait til this summer when we come back!!!

Thanks for the warm welcome!!!

I'm using a Canon Rebel XT, 75-300mm f/4 5.6 III zoom.

I am going to be getting the Sigma 50-500 next month. At least thats the plan right now. I'm still checking out all the reviews on the Sigma and want to try one out too.

My father in law was going to go out to Blackdog today and see if he can spot any of the Eagles.

I heard that we have a few down here on Lake Texoma right now. I'm surprised to hear that but it was coming from a pretty reliable source at the Audubon Society so it must be true?

He should see a few, I was there yesterday and if you look under the "photo sharing" and "Blad Eagles ~ up close and personnal" you will see what I took down at Blackdog yesterday. Today is so gloomy and grey... I was going to go down and take some pics, but It would be a waste of time I'm certain. Oh what the heck, I just changed my mind and will head down there between 11:45 and 12:30... if your relatuive is down there and see's a pewter silver Tahoe... tell him to wave! tongue.gif

    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
    • The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
    • It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
    • We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity. 
    • I've been out on the flats. It's like being on a different planet
