First test run with the new yak.

[FinsnFur]

no...but I like that idea
I doubt I'd see a snagged lure but you DO have my curiosity peaked.
It's still too cold here to do what I want to do, but I may take it back out this weekend and play with the down imaging. It doesnt work real good out in the shop 

[HaMeR]

Throw some rocks in the bucket. It'll work better that way right?? 

[Dave]

Wow that looks like a nice set up.
Would like to see some pics of the images from the Hummingbird.  I have a Garmin Striker 4 and get frustrated with it (need to youtube it to understand it better, I guess). Anyway, that Hummingbird looks way cooler than the Garmin

Were suppose to get smacked with another snowstorm tomorrow so Im sure I wont be wetting her this weekend.
But I do wanna get some pics off it.
I hear ya Dave on learning to use them. I cycled through the menu over a dozen times adjusting different settings out on the water, only to get frustrated and screw up the whole view. I'd have to hit the "restore all default settings" and start over. lol

Life should have a  "restore all default settings" 

[FinsnFur]

LOL! Wouldnt that be grand

[Okanagan]

Whew!  A restore default setting for life.  I like that!  I suspect that most people by age 30 yearn for such a button to push.  I needed that button by the time I was 6! 

Two levels of meaning in your brief comment, Nasty, one of them deeply profound.  Closest there is to a "restore default" for humans is the grace of God.  It can remove guilt and give us a fresh clean slate for writing our life story but all too sadly does not remove the consequences of my actions on humans, be it myself or others.

Spring snow this morning down low on the mountains I can see out my kitchen window so I must quit philosophizing and sermonizing and go see if I can find a track of something to chase this morning.   Hope the Tractor Grease Café is open on my way home.

[nastygunz]

Amen!  It's obvious to me that your a man who enjoys the bounties of this great earth!  I would go to the tractor Grease Café every day just because of the name. 

[Okanagan]

Why, thank you, nasty!  I posted an update about the Tractor Grease Café on the thread of that name.

Snow melted fast, all gone in the lower valley before I got out there, though it would drizzle misty rain now and then and kept adding fresh snow to the peaks above.  I should have been there before daylight to check tracks by headlight.  It snowed just before dark last night, so animals had all night to make tracks, but I stayed home till good light to see if the snow stuck and then azzled around on my way out there.  I started to set up to call in a huge half-bowl mountainside basin but there were too many dirt bikes, four wheelers and target plinkers so I decided that as a retiree I would come back on a week day when the place will be deserted.

We now return this program to the unfolding story of the Yak Man from Wisconsin...

[nastygunz]

You mean the Yak Man from Wisconsin isnt an urban....suburban....legend?!....

[FinsnFur]

Whoa whoa whoa...he thinks he stole the thread and I was just getting into this cafe story...please continue. 

[Todd Rahm]

Sweet ride!!! Looking forward to seeing fish on that Helix.
