Has anyone ever used a bale blind from this company? http://www.baleblinds.com/products/ I am looking at the waterfowl special. Seems it might prove to be a challenge to relocate, but not sure.

DANG! That thing looks real! Never used one, but looks cool.

Use the collapsible type on occasion but they are a bit big for windy conditions. These look great unless you are mobile like most of us.
John Cottenham aka jacduck in many circles before the internet
"Duck hunter's minds are like concrete. All mixed up and permanently set."
Those things just look like a pain. I guess if you were leaving it as a semi-permanent blind then it wouldn't be bad, but i would absolutely hate to move something like that every time you hunt.
On second thought...wouldn't that be a hell of a place for a gunner to retire to in a field full of bales?
Put that in your pipe and smoke it
A simple pop up blind shaped and colored like a round bale would be great, I have been looking for one and this is the best I have found so far
I have used hay bale blinds several times in Canada on guide hunts for older hunters or hunters that could not function in lay outs. The main thing is that they hide movement which is the main issue with clients. Hunters just cannot avoid the temptation to be looking all around. The ameristep is easy and quick to set up and less $ also but the one on the OP looks great especially if it is not going to be moved much.
For waterfowl, the ameristep type is good because the whole top and front open for a wider shooting lane.
Remember, this was in Canada where there are lots of birds and they are many times easier to hunt than in the U.S.A.
For hiding wingers or bird boys, either would be good IMO.
The pain of regret is much worse than the pain of hard work.

I though this was cool and there seems to be quite a few of us here that are Radiohead fans so I figured I'd share this article I found over at nme.com
http://www.nme.com/news/109641.htmRadiohead are to release a new track for the launch of War Child's new music website on September 9.
The band will help kick off warchildmusic.com, which will sell downloads in aid of the War Child's charity global relief work.
The track will be a reworking of 'Go To Sleep' recorded live in Osaka and remixed by Johnny Greenwood. It will cost just 99p, with all profits going directly to helping the children in the world's most troubled regions.

HIV and the Brain
HIV can cause real problems for the human central nervous system because it has the ability to cross the blood-brain barrier and gain direct contact with your brain and spinal cord tissues.
Researchers are still working to discover just what HIV does to injure your central nervous system, but we know that the virus itself can damage your ability to think (your "cognitive" ability) and to function in everyday life.
When that happens, healthcare providers refer to the condition as "HIV-associated dementia" or AIDS dementia complex (ADC). If you are HIV-positive, ADC is considered an AIDS-defining condition.
In the early days of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the U.S., between 40–60% of people living with HIV/AIDS experienced some type of ADC. But since antiretroviral therapy became available, the incidence of ADC has dropped significantly.
Most of the time, HIV-related cognitive issues are associated with advanced HIV disease and low CD4 counts (less than 200 cells/mm3). Taking HIV medications may prevent or delay the onset of ADC—and they may also improve your mental function if you already have symptoms of ADC.
Diagnosing HIV-Related Cognitive Issues
Diagnosis can be a challenge because there are other things besides your HIV disease that can affect your ability to think and function—including opportunistic infections, depression or other mental health issues, medication-related side effects, and aging.
There are also different levels of severity for HIV-related dementia:
Minor Cognitive Motor Disorder (MCMD) (PDF)
This form of HIV-related dementia is milder than full-blown ADC. Some of the symptoms include:
- Difficulty concentrating
- Forgetfulness
- Slowed movements
- Changes in personality
- Lack of coordination
AIDS Dementia Complex
ADC is typically seen in the late stages of HIV/AIDS. The symptoms vary widely from person to person and can include:
- Poor concentration
- Mental slowness
- Difficulty learning new things
- Changes in behavior
- Forgetfulness/Memory loss
- Confusion
- Difficulty finding words
- Withdrawal from hobbies or social activities
- Depression
Symptoms of worsening dementia can include:
- Speech problems
- Balance problems
- Muscle weakness
- Vision problems
- Loss of bladder/bowel control
It's important to remember that these symptoms can be caused by a wide range of conditions, including opportunistic infections and HIV-related cancers that particularly affect the brain and central nervous system. These must always be ruled out first.
It takes a team of skilled professionals—including those with training in neurology—to make a diagnosis of ADC. As part of evaluating your condition, your care team will look at all aspects of your health, including:
- The scope of your HIV disease
- The state of your physical health
- The state of your mental health (including any pre-existing conditions like depression)
- How well you are able to function in your daily life
Treatment Options
If it isn't treated, ADC can be fatal. Currently, the most effective treatment for ADC appears to be antiretroviral therapy, especially zidovudine (AZT). Medications that are used to treat other mental conditions, like depression, can alleviate some of the behavioral symptoms. Check with your healthcare provider for more details.

1. Houston Texans Jadeveon Clowney DE South Carolina
For most of the season, Ive argued that Manziel should go to the first team that needs a QB; however, Clowney is a Lawrence Taylor/Reggie White/Bruce Smith caliber prospect. If the Texans pair him with Watt (arguably the best defensive player in the NFL), they have a chance to construct a young D that rivals the Seahawks and 49ers. I think theyd be justified in drafting Clowney, Manziel, or Bridgewater, but I think this move sets Houston on the most prudent path.
2. St. Louis Rams Greg Robinson OT Auburn
I think you can argue that the Rams should consider moving on from Bradford, but they wont. The Rams found their RB in Zac Stacy, and hes helped the to establish the offensive identity Fisher wants. You can make a case for Sammy Watkins here, but Austin and Bailey are very good. Robinson is the best run blocking OT Ive seen at the college level. Hes a perfect fit for what theyre trying to establish on offense.
3. Jacksonville Jaguars Johnny Manziel QB Texas A&M
I expect Gust Bradley to establish a very good D within the next couple of seasons, and I expect him to try to replicate an offense that compliments that defense much like the system they have in Seattle. Manziel has the skillset to extend drives by converting 3rd downs, and hes the best QB in the draft at connecting on deep passes. They still need to facilitate the running game, but this is a great fit for both parties.
4. Cleveland Browns Teddy Bridgewater QB Louisville
The Browns miss out on Manziel, but they get Bridgewater. Bridgewater compares favorably to Matt Ryan; Bridgewater has more upside. I rate Bridgewater higher than most of the #1 QBs in recent seasons (Newton and Luck being the exceptions).
5. Oakland Raiders Sammy Watkins WR Clemson
Oakland still needs a QB, but if Im them, Im not passing up a player like Watkins for a guy with as many concerns as Bortles. Denarius Moore has struggled to stay healthy, but if he can, hed be a high-end 2nd option. This is a case of Watkins being too good to pass as much as need, but it does fill a need.
6. Atlanta Falcons Jake Matthews OT Texas A&M
As Bridgewater was the preseason #1 QB and would be the #1 QB in most drafts, Matthews was the #1 OT and would be the #1 OT in most drafts. His pass pro is near flawless (perfect for an Atlanta team that wants to utilize the talents of Jones and White).
7. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Khalil Mack DE/OLB Buffalo
Tampa Bay is close to having a very good D. McCoy and David should kill it for Smith. Mack is an ideal candidate for SOLB on base downs, and he can kick down to DE for passing situations. Outstanding COD and balance.
8. Minnesota Vikings Blake Bortles QB UCF
Bortles has his concerns, but given the talent at their other positions of need, this is as good a spot as any to go QB, and Bortles does bring a lot to the table. I see the Big Ben comparisons much more than the Andrew Luck comparisons. Not the most precise QB in the world, but he makes plays, and he has the size and athleticism to excel. Slight but warranted reach here.
9. Buffalo Bills Mike Evans WR Texas A&M
The Bills would ideally go D here, but Im not liking the DEs or CBs at this point. You can make a case for Mosley, but I think you give your 2nd year QB a weapon that compliments his other WRs. In Evans, you get an extremely physical WR with a big frame. Hes hard to press, and he uses his body well. Brandon Marshall would be my pro comparison.
10. Detroit Lions Kyle Van Noy OLB BYU
The Lions need help at DE, LB, and in the secondary. Van Noy is a play maker. Hes scored a TD in every season at BYU (two in 2013). In his last three seasons, he has seven interceptions (at least two interceptions in each of those seasons). He has 11 forced fumbles in four seasons (none in his senior season but six during his junior season). Since his sophomore season, he has posted TFL totals of 15, 22, and 17.5. He also had 13 sacks as a junior, and he blocked three kicks during his time at BYU.
11. Tennessee Titans Anthony Barr OLB UCLA
I have mixed feelings on Barr, but I think hell be a good fit for a Ray Horton D. Should be a very productive 3-4 OLB, and I see a significant drop off after Barr. 20+ TFL in each of the last two seasons.
12. New York Giants Taylor Lewan OT Michigan
The Giants need help at OT. Thats no secret. Lewan didnt allow a sack during his Senior season, and I view him as underrated as an athlete and as a run blocker.
13. St. Louis Rams Jimmie Ward FS Northern Illinois
The Rams need to get serious about their secondary, and Ward is the most sound FS prospect since Earl Thomas. His angles are perfect; he can cover WRs (some said better than any of the CBs on the North Squad during the Senior Bowl); hes a sure tackler; and he excels in single-high looks. This is much higher than most mocks will have him, but if you look at the criticisms, they all boil down to size. Hes the closest thing to Earl Thomas since Earl Thomas, and there isnt a more valuable non-QB in the NFL than ET.
14. Chicago Bears Aaron Donald DT Pittsburgh
The Geno Atkins comparisons are legit. If you need a 3-technique, Donald is the terror you want.
15. Pittsburgh Steelers Allen Robinson WR Penn State
I see Robinson as perfect for Pittsburgh. His size and his ability to high point the ball make him a legitimate RZ threat, but Robinsons YAC ability is perfectly suited for Haleys offense. Maybe the best YAC WR in this class save for Watkins.
16. Baltimore Ravens HaSean Clinton-Dix S Alabama
Baltimore would like to address O-line here, but I dont like the value available, and Dix and Elam would give them one of the most physical safety tandems in the league.
17. Dallas Cowboys Timmy Jernigan DT Florida State
Dallas needs help all over the defensive side of the ball. Jernigan isnt as disruptive as Donald, but hes plenty disruptive, and hes very stout for a DT under 300 lbs. Had a strong game against a great Auburn running attack.
18. New York Jets Marqise Lee WR USC
The Jets WR unit is as bad as any in the NFL. Before a bad junior season, Marqise Lee was seen by most as an even better prospect than Sammy Watkins. Hes not blazing fast, but he looks like the fastest guy on the field, and his COD is up there with the best. Concerns about his personality and work ethic drop him some, but hes too talented for a team as WR needy as the Jets to pass.
19. Miami Dolphins Jeremy Hill RB LSU
Jeremy Hill is a top-10 talent. He runs with remarkable burst especially for a guy who weighs 230. Pad level, vision, quick feet, and physicality are all pluses. Hes the only player in SEC history to average 6.9 YPC. Hes a guy like Lynch or Peterson who demands extra defenders in the box, because you cant expect to tackle him with one guy. Hell also take it to the house. I expect his 40 to be right around 4.5 flat. Miami needs to improve their pass protection, but even more, they need to establish a running game. Also, bypassing Hill here would mean taking a lesser prospect.
20. Arizona Cardinals Eric Ebron TE North Carolina
The Cardinals are in a situation similar to Miami. They can use O-line help, but their offense can also use a dynamic threat at TE, and Ebron is too good to pass even if its a lesser need.
21. Green Bay Packers Calvin Pryor S Louisville
Green Bays offense is good enough to compete with anyone. Their D is littered with liabilities. Pryor can play either safety position. He hits hard and has good range and ball skills. Doesnt always react as quick as youd like, and his angles are solid but not on par with a guy like Ward. But the Packers would welcome his playmaking and physicality.
22. Philadelphia Eagles Justin Gilbert CB Oklahoma State
Another team that needs some help in the secondary, the Eagles might be unhappy to see the top three safeties off the board, but they get the best CB prospect. Gilbert has good size and length, and hes a fluid athlete. Can play press or off. His intensity can lapse at times, but he goes before Dennard because of physical tools.
23. Kansas City Chiefs Darqueze Dennard CB Michigan State
Speaking of Dennard, the Chiefs have a turnstile at CB, and they like to blitz. Dennard is used to playing press coverage, which should suit KCs demands. Dennard was the best college CB last season, but lack of upside sees him take a slight hit and fall to #2 CB.
24. Cincinnati Bengals C. J Mosley LB Alabama
Might seem like Mosley is going to low, but I think hes been somewhat overrated. Hes outstanding in coverage, and he can fly to the ball, but hes not a guy who will excel taking on O-linemen or big TEs. The Bengals outstanding D-line, coupled with an extremely physical Burfict, should free up Mosley to do what he does best. Obviously, they would like secondary help. But the Ss and CBs left dont offer proper value.
25. San Diego Chargers Antonio Richardson LT Tennessee
The Chargers set their line for the next 10 years pairing the big, physical Fluker with the big, physical Tiny Richardson. Tiny is an underrated pass blocker, and hed give SD two ways to run to strength (with Fluker on the other side). Fits what McCoy is implementing in SD.
26. Cleveland Browns Jarvis Landry WR LSU
Cleveland has its QB of the future. The next step is establishing a running game, but there arent any RBs here that separate from the pack, so they wait for RD 2 or RD 3. They do add a WR who is a QBs best friend and who perfectly complements Josh Gordon. Gordon is one of the best big-play WRs in the league (none of the top WRs had a better yards per target). Landry can beat you deep, but he excels doing the dirty work. Making tough catches to move the chains, making key blocks. My favorite WR in the draft.
27. New Orleans Saints Louis Nix NT Notre Dame
The Saints much-improved D gets another shot in the arm. Their pass D was much better than their run D in 2013 (2nd compared to 19th). Nix could be a pick that takes them to that next level the way the Carolina DTs did this season. They have to account for teams like Carolina, SF, and Seattle, who all love to run the ball.
28. Carolina Panthers Donte Moncrief WR Mississippi
Speaking of Carolina, get Cam some weapons. Moncrief should see his stock rise in the coming months. Hes too talented to ignore. Can beat you deep, can beat you with RAC, can go up and take the ball away from the defender. His physical style is a great fit for Carolina.
29. New England Patriots RaShede Hageman DT Minnesota
Hageman might be the most talented DT in the class. He can play in multiple fronts, and he has outstanding burst and length. Inconsistent motor is the major knock, and New England believes that they can positively influence this talent. Not to mention, they need help at DT.
30. San Francisco 49ers Odell Beckham Jr. WR LSU
SF gets a deep threat to pair with Crabtree. This pairing should remind some of Michael Irvin and Alvin Harper. Kaepernick has the arm to test any area of the field, and with the attention that Crabtree and Davis require, Beckham should cause Ds headaches. Id compare him to a stronger , longer Desean Jackson.
31. Denver Broncos Kony Ealy DE Missouri
Ealy gives Denver s pass rush some help. Millers coming back, but apart from him, they have guys who are long in the tooth or just adequate on the edge. They know the importance of getting after the QB, or they should (after the SB).
32. Seattle Seahawks Cyrus Kouandjio OT Alabama
Kouandjio is overrated by many. Based on performance, hes not a 1st RD pick. Based on talent, hes the 2nd best OT in the class (more talented than Matthews), and who develops players better than Seattle? Perfect storm for Seattle. If they can get him to play to his talent, they significantly improved their line.

By Prescription Only: Google Will Brick Glasses If You Loan Them Out
You may not resell, loan, transfer, or give your device to any other person. If you resell, loan, transfer, or give your device to any other person without Google's authorization, Google reserves the right to deactivate the device, and neither you nor the unauthorized person using the device will be entitled to any refund, product support, or product warranty.That's right. You are not allowed to loan Google Glass to a friend. You can't hand them to someone to test with their own Google account. You can't put them in a "Trial Mode" or resell them when you've decided to upgrade. If you feel like they were a poor investment, you can't attempt to resell them on eBay to recoup your loss.
Why You Should Care:
All too often, people respond to such fundamental restrictions by saying "It's just the EULA." But in this case, since Google Glass is tied to, and registered to a specific Google account (and you're required to open a Google Account to use Google Glass), the company knows exactly who has Glass and who doesn't. Yes, it's just the EULA -- but in this case, the EULA allows Google to deactivate a device you paid them $1500 to use.
This might seem like overreach, but it isn't. Google and other software companies aggressively lobbied courts to rule in 2010 that licensing language governed the right of resale. Federal regulators reviewing the DMCA's cell phone unlocking provision in 2012 ultimately removed the requirement that phones be able to be unlocked because they felt the 2010 Autodesk case had set precedent. If you agree to Google's terms, Google has the right to control your usage of the product in any way that it sees fit.
The other argument is that this type of restriction is only present because Google Glass is in its first-run deployment. Once the product goes into wide production, Google would surely lift such restrictions -- right?
Maybe. But if that's the case, it wouldn't hurt the company to say so. A simple one-line insertion into the relevant paragraph could stipulate that the rules were being tightened for the early deployment period. Wanting to ensure that all 1500 pairs of Google Glass go to good users is perfectly reasonable, and blocking eBay sales or third-party transactions makes sense in this context. But writing such stipulations into the general contract for users, without identifying them as special cases? That's a dangerous precedent.
Worse, it goes against everything that makes tech exciting. Granted, I wouldn't want to loan a $1500 pair of glasses to someone on an indefinite basis, but most people are going to want to see what Google Glass would show them using their own data. This type of restriction makes it nearly impossible to hand the device to a friend and offer them the chance to experiment with it, unless you first lock down your own private data.
There's a limited window to clarify the situation and guarantee that once the final product ships, end users will be able to resell the devices. Google, are you listening?

Brave, bold, tender and often funny, this is the second based-on-fact film in as many weeks with a severely disabled man at its centre. But where the breezy and entertaining French film The Intouchables strayed into sentimentality, this one is distinguished by a luminous emotional authenticity. In telling the most improbable of stories, it manages to be among the truest films I've ever seen.
Its writer-director, a Polish-born Australian and former barrister, contracted polio at 6 and has got around on crutches ever since, and the sure sense he conveys of his main subject's situation - not to mention the bitingly dry witticisms that he puts in his mouth - have the whiff of bitter experience about them.
That subject is Mark O'Brien, whose real life was brilliantly captured in the Oscar-winning 90s documentary Breathing Lessons: an accomplished writer, particularly of journalism and poetry, he died at 49 in 1999. But this film, in which O'Brien is played by John Hawkes (Deadwood; Winter's Bone) concentrates on a specific episode, that he described in a magazine article: his mission to lose his virginity with the help of a self-described sex surrogate Cheryl Cohen Green (Hunt).
This is no easy task, since he has been so completely paralysed by polio that he needs artificial respiration to live - he spends most of his time in a medieval-looking contraption called an iron lung. But it's made easier by the fact that Green is very good at her job.
That sounds lewd but it's not meant that way. What's deeply impressive about this film is that it not only avoids prurience but positively shames it. It's an understatement to say that it is extremely, even eye-wateringly, explicit about the pair's sexual encounters - the sessions of the title. It also misses the point. Hunt's rich and grounded Green is a woman whose bracing directness matches the film's upfront honesty. The writing and the performances are exquisitely attuned to how murky the territory is between sex and love - and they're hip, too, to the idea that happiness so often contains a glimpse of sadness to come.
Hunt is perfect for the part: in role after role, from television's Mad About You to As Good As It Gets and the under-rated Then She Found Me, she has demonstrated a knack for allowing audiences a direct access to her character's emotional process that is almost eerily compelling.
But don't get the idea this is a worthy picture-with-a-cause. Its most distinctive feature is its humour, located both in O'Brien ("I believe in a God with a sense of humour," he says. "I would find it absolutely intolerable not to be to able blame someone for all this") and in the Catholic priest (Macy, excellent) whose advice seeks out, a man wondering whether he's bitten off more than he can chew.
A decision to abandon the single viewpoint and include some material from Green's home life stops a superb film from being a truly great one, but this will certainly be among my top picks for the year and is warmly recommended.
Stars: 4.5/5
Cast: Helen Hunt, William H. Macy, John Hawkes
Director: Ben Lewin
Running time: 95 mins
Verdict: One of the best of the year

Ménière's disease is an inner ear disorder that affects balance and hearing.
Hydrops; Endolymphatic hydrops; dizziness-Ménière's disease; vertigo-Ménière's disease
Your inner ear contains fluid-filled tubes called labyrinths. These tubes, along with a nerve in your skull, help you know the position of your body and help maintain your balance.
The exact cause of Ménière's disease is unknown. It may occur when the pressure of the fluid in part of the inner ear gets too high.
In some cases, Ménière's disease may be related to:
Other risk factors include:
Meniere's disease is a fairly common disorder.
Attacks of Ménière's disease often start without warning. They may occur daily, or as rarely as once a year. The severity of each attack can vary.
Ménière's disease usually has four main symptoms:
Severe vertigo is the symptom that causes the most problems. With vertigo, you feel as though you are spinning or moving, or that the world is spinning around you.
Usually hearing loss is only in one ear, but it may affect both ears.
Other symptoms include:
A brain and nervous system exam may show problems with hearing, balance, or eye movement.
A hearing test will show the hearing loss that occurs with Ménière's. Hearing may be near normal after an attack.
A caloric stimulation test checks your eye reflexes by warming and cooling the inner ear with water. Test results that are not in the normal range can be a sign of Ménière's disease.
These tests may also be done to check for other causes of vertigo:
There is no known cure for Ménière's disease. However, lifestyle changes and some treatments can help relieve symptoms.
Your doctor may suggest ways to reduce the amount of fluid in your body. This can often help control symptoms.
To help ease symptoms and stay safe:
Symptoms of Ménière's disease can cause stress. Make healthy lifestyle choices to help you cope:
Help ease stress by using relaxation techniques, such as:
Your health care provider may prescribe:
You may need ear surgery if your symptoms are severe and do not respond to other treatments.
Hearing aids may be needed for severe hearing loss.
Ménière's disease can often be controlled with treatment. Or the condition may get better on its own. However, Ménière's can be chronic or disabling.
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of Ménière's disease, or if symptoms get worse. These include hearing loss, ringing in the ears, or dizziness.
You can't prevent Ménière's disease. Treating early symptoms right away may help prevent the condition from getting worse. Treating an ear infection and other related disorders may be helpful.

|Bluewater Extreme Test the limits of the fly fishing domain
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|One of the guys I work with was in South Fla. recently on vacation and went out with a guide for the day, tarpon fishing (this guy normally fishes for trout in Ohio and the Catskills); after a fruitless morning of casting to tarpon, they ended up catching a few sharks on the fly rod. Nothing too large, but nonetheless he said it was great fun! Just keep 'em off the leader!
|:eyecrazy: I thought that I was the only one who likes Blue water flyfishing. It is not as easy as some like to lead one to believe. I have done it for a few years. One time we were fishing for tuna south of Block Island in a 24 foot Formula, cleaning a yellow fin, and washing down the boat a great white almost as long as the boat came right up along side, the dorsal fin had to stick 3 feet out of the water, no flies for him. Having had mako sharks come up behind the boat two at a time, and throwing flies at them is something to try, have been unable to catch a small 8 foot Mako yet, but still am trying. Mahi- Mahi's and 15 lb Albacore really make Bluewater fishing with a flyrod a great experience. Looking forward this year to try and make a video about fishing offshore, if I could get somemore video of shark fishing I would be happy. I have one already of my grandson fighting, and landing a 186 lb Mako, actual weight on a scale in Montaup Harbor. I haven't posted much here lately as there doesn't seem to be much interest.
|PM, yes, I saw it a couple times..incredible when they jump out of the water..... Case... That should be a great charter... I will try for a Tuna Charter in October with Nat and Derrek at First light Anglers..but this is a must for me this year.
Heck yeah!
I'll be doing offshore ffing for quite a while this Summer; should have some interesting tid bits for those interested by Mid July. How about drifting a sea turtle fly for tiger and bull sharks off the Southeast Coast? Would my 9-wt. handle that?:eyecrazy:
I have a charter booked with Capt Al Anderson out of Snug Harbor R.I. to target tuna on the fly. This trip will take place in early Oct.
Capt. Al came to a CCA meeting on Cape Cod and gave a presentation on offshore tuna on the fly as well as conventional gear. This guy is the top banana when it comes to tuna fishing, at least in these parts, so the trip should be quite a learning experiance. Especially since Dr. David Ross, author of "The Fishermans Ocean" is the one who invited me to go along, It's his charter actually.
I think, at this time of the season, we will be hooking up mostly to F/A's and bonito, although, as Al's slide show revealed he has brought many of the REAL tuna to the boat with a flyrod as well.
So, I know it's a long time to go, but keep this section alive and maybe I can learn a thing or 2 before the trip and , of course I'll post a report when the trip is thru.
I think offshore flyfishing will become more and more common as we all continue to seekout more ways to enjoy our sport. (and spend more money)
|Good we finally have some post to the Blue Water section, was thinking this section should be eliminated, is there any one really that does much blue water fly fishing ?
Willie, remember seeing another post with the "dressing" for
this fly. But hazy memory of a recommendation, there was also a suggestion for using a 3-5 foot section of anchor chain for a shock-tippet.
And that Bruce and Walker might just be a tad on the heavy side for these fish. Half an hour with it, casting for the kings, with a 400 grain head is just about enough. :eyecrazy:
I saw that special back in August when they first aired it...it contained some of the most amazing footage I had ever seen!!! :eyecrazy:
I think we should transplant these sharks into the waters of Puget Sound and the Wa. coast and let them go at...as in taking out every seal and sea lion that resides in this state!!
|Willie Gunn
What is the dressing?
Is this seal imitation fly tied on a tube or a hook?
What is the dressing ?
In Scotland where we can use real seal skins the dressing is relatively easy:
Hook: Large 70/00
Tag : Copper wire.
Tail: Golden Pheasant topping ( this keeps with the traditional dressing)
Body; Baby seal skin, white is a lovely colour.
Rib Silver tinsel
Hackle Large cock ( whole bird)
Jungle Cock eyes (optional)
Fred's Bruce & Walker 18' rod is suitable for casting this fly. Make sure a barbless hook to ensure easy catch & release, see cooment by Stone.
Sounds kinda crazy to me
Would YOU want to reach in to grab the hook out of Jaws mouth?
I sure as he!! wouldn't!
:eyecrazy: :eyecrazy:
Great White Shark - Top Water Seal Flies
Did any one catch the Discovery Channel on Sunday afternoon ?
They had a special on Great White Shark research in Africa off of a place called Seal Island where they come to feed on the large population of seals. The scientists would drag a decoy seal made out of plastic about 30 yards in back of the boat to induce the Great Whites to come up for them. Just like sail and marlin fishing a teaser fly of sorts.
Well these Great Whites came flying out of the water landing on the seal and attacking it. These were whites that weighed 1,000 to 2,000 pounds or more. Supposedly only place in the world whites will come out of the water to attack a target.
Imagine making a top water seal imitation fly ? I know its been a long winter and I need to get out soon. Oh well it would probably be the most exciting fly fishing we could hope for. Maybe it is not fly fishing ?
Quick call Larry Dahlberg and it could be his ultimate hunt for big fish adventure. This would be serious blue water fly fishing.

Gents, Need some thoughts.
I am headed up to the Montains North of me this weekend (a Short Drive so leaving early in the AM) for a Hunt, Current weather and most likely the same this weekend, is High 40's low 50's and windy, with a possible chance for Rain or even snow. I will be in heavily wooded Country with differeing terrains, from Pinon high desert to Ponderosa forest. Given those conditions, how would you all hunt the area?

Mayonnaise or salad dressing can be substituted for the tartar sauce.
Try whole wheat bread in place of the French rolls.
Add 1 tablespoon of capers to the tuna salad mixture.
Rémoulade is a classic French sauce made by mixing mayonnaise, mustard, capers and pickles. Tartar sauce, which consists of mayonnaise, capers, pickles and lemon juice, is a quick and easy substitute.

By Parrish Alford/NEMS Daily Journal
NASHVILLE – Because Reggie Buckner so rarely participates in media interviews, the open locker room policy of the SEC tournament causes some sort of low-level paparazzi response from the writers who cover the team.
It's not that Buckner is a most enlightening subject, though he's not bad, and Sunday he used the less-is-more approach to put into words the feeling of so many who cheer for Ole Miss basketball.
"I'm just fed up with the NIT," he said.
That answers the motivation question for the up-and-down Rebels, the newly crowned SEC tournament champions, who can be so good for periods of time yet could lose to struggling teams like South Carolina and Mississippi State with so much on the line.
Murphy Holloway said he's seen Buckner have big games but hasn't seen him string together three in a row like he did this weekend. Both players are seniors.
"He wanted it. He realized it's about to come to an end. We ain't fixing to get those scholarship checks to pay our rent, we can't eat in the union for free. We've got to make our own way, and he's doing that," Holloway said.
Rebels coach Andy Kennedy says it's unfair to expect top-level performance night in and night out.
"To ask them to do that for 35 games … I ask them, but it's a little unrealistic," Kennedy said.
The ability to turn the switch like that often has fans asking why it's not "on" more of the time, particularly against the downtrodden like the state rival this season.
From low to high
A 73-67 loss at MSU that had been so soundly beaten by so many was the low point for the Rebels
Many wrote them off after that loss. They did not. Kennedy did not.
There was no more margin for error after that loss, but the Rebels committed no more errors.
The SEC championship game was their fifth-straight win, four of them on the road or at neutral sites.
Things were really bad when it was time to board the bus in Starkville. Today, Ole Miss has an SEC championship. Maybe the Rebels should think of sending a thank-you fruit basket to the Dogs.
SEC tourney MVP Marshall Henderson would be OK with that.
"As I've learned in my life with what I've been through, it's not when you figure it out, it's if you figure it out. We figured it out right then and there. We realized that all we have is each other."

|Stripers and Coastal Gamefish Stripers, Blues, Inshore tuna!
|Topic Review (Newest First)
RE:Brewster Flats
No I didn't think it was worth fighting the nasty winds this morning. Yesterday eve was windy enough for me (10-15 gusting to 20). I fished the flats and made for the outer bar with little luck. I managed to catch a sand eel and I'm going to be altering my pattern to include a little bit of olive. It was about 6 inches in length and olive on top, silverish/white on the sides and bottom. I must get out there more often. It looks great!
RE:Brewster Flats
Well Mike -
I didn't get down there... did you? I wished I did go though when I saw that the weather was reasonable until around 10:30am... after the tide change.
RE:Brewster Flats - if nuts out there...
If you feel like the guy in the space program testing G-force tolerance when you feel the wind coming off the bay, you should run down rte 134 to the sound side to salvage your getting out of bed, mid-cape will offer a number of options. Or run east to Welfleet or Morris Island (walk around). My experience has been that a strong off-shore can put the bait out of reach and the fish go with it. Estuaries have still been holding fish, and it's been cold over the last 24 hours - so they would be good options if the southside shoreline is not producing.
RE:Brewster Flats
Forecast calls for a nor'easter - windy, chilly and heavy rain; highs in the mid-fifties with wind 15-25 mph and gusts exceeding 35 mph. Hands may not be able to hold a comfortable temperature without gloves due to the combination of wind and downpours, especially during off hours. Stormy nor'easter winds will make casting hard for mortals like me and may push the water against the shore in ways one might not expect.
Low tide ~9am with -1.4; that part's OK. Maybe the horrendous weather will push the plankton and bait into the shoreline and cause all kinds of carnage at our feet?
Many things to consider, but the biggest concern with inclement weather out on the flats is lightning. It doesn't help to be waving a graphite wand 3/4 mile from shore when you're the tallest thing standing in the water. This type of cold front is not likely to bring lightning so we're OK there.
It'll be a fleece and raingear kind of day; granny fingers and water trickling down the front of the shirt. Marshside's hash and eggs or french toast will be really good afterwards.
Good safety measure but I don't think you'll get anywhere with a float tube in those conditions if you try to get around in it. At least the wind will blow you inshore instead of out to sea.
Ideal thing to do is choose another day... but what the heck, I'll be there ~3 hours before the low if I can manage to sneak away. I'll be in the Paine's Lot and will hope to cross to the outer bar to put the wind off my casting shoulder. Green Toyota pickup, no guarantee I can make it but it's a pretty good possibility.
RE:Brewster Flats
Juro, I am going to bring my float tube just in case and if you are going to go out in the AM you might just see me if I can get my lazy butt out of bed. Hope to see you out there!
Tight lines
RE:Brewster Flats
Aside from using "caution", I would start with a 4-6" semi-transparent weighted eye sand eel patterns (see archives). If the large don't produce, go smaller. There are enough keepers grubbing sand eels with pink lips right now to persist with the big ones, I personally would stick with them through the whole ebb.
Get there early enough to maximize time before dusk. The channel will still be deep and fast, and you'll need to get the fly down to the sand to get their attention. Sometimes the fish are all over the place and none of this applies. As the current slows to slack, but before slack, you should have good fishing if they are in the channel. Look for fish to be in the trenches at slack.
Mike if you are heading down there tonight you'd better get going... don't even try to fish it on the incoming after dusk! Low is ~8:30 and the level is only -.4 (vs. -1.7 this morning, and -1.9 yesterday AM). My advice: don't try for the outer bar unless you have a kayak or something.
I am considering sneaking out there tomorrow AM... much better tide. Some days, evening is better than morning because of the warmth of the flats in the daylight. Once the summer really gets here the opposite is often true (cooler flats water at night).
Wish I lived there so I could experiment opposing am/pm tides over a sequence of days, months, years to draw some kind of conclusion on this.
Brewster Flats
Thinking about hitting the flats this eve. Any suggestions on what to use?

Slow simmered in one pot and finished off in the oven, this hearty beef dinner from the 1965 edition of Betty Crocker's Dinner in a Dish cookbook defines home-style cooking.
To avoid scorching the bottom, make sure you turn the heat all the way to low after browning the beef. Check to make sure the mixture isn't sticking by giving it a good stir every so often.
This dish freezes wonderfully. Try dividing it up between two one-quart casseroles before you arrange the biscuits. Top one with biscuits to bake now and freeze the other without for later!
You can also use refrigerated biscuits to top this if you're in a pinch. Try Pillsbury® Grands!® Flaky Layers refrigerated buttermilk biscuits.

LDK Solar (LDK)–the company voted most likely to imitate Suntech Power Holding's (STP)–announced that it would delay filing its year-end earnings today. The struggling solar company said it:
…needs additional time to finalize certain items in its fourth quarter 2012 financial results, primarily including an impairment analysis of long-lived assets and an assessment of provisions in certain subsidiaries.
It's been tough month on the business side for LDK. On Friday, the company announced that it had sold 25 million new shares to a Hong Kong businessman for about $25.8 million. That came on the heels of the company's default on a bond payment on April 16.
Still, shares have rallied nearly 23% in April, as have those of other solar companies, who are befitting from talks that solar companies could be turned into MLPs and strong, if controversial, guidance from First Solar (FSLR) . Trina Solar (TSL) has gained 20.1% this month, while Yingli Green Energy (YGE) has risen 32%. Jinko Solar (JKS), meanwhile, has surged 57.6%.

Released in March 2009, Green and Blue was the long-awaited album from the 'intelligent pop' duo Dave Stewart & Barbara Gaskin. The combination of Barbara's heavenly vocals and Dave's intricate arrangements were once more uniquely combined on a release that upheld the duo's high standards of musicality and artistry.
"It strikes, in fact, a perfect balance, with an eminently accessible veneer that's layered on top of an album of strikingly thoughtful arrangements and orchestrated textures... an undeniably accessible pop album that's got the kind of depth that will also appeal to those looking for more detail and challenge." John Kelman (All About Jazz) (read full review)
Green and Blue (9 tracks, 67 minutes) ships on CD in a full-colour 4-page Digipak with a 12-page colour booklet containing all the song lyrics and a short sleeve note by Dave Stewart.
Please note, we now have exclusive signed copies available.

Buying a new piece of camo every week is fun, and it keeps me excited.

Well, thanks for stopping by, have a good day!

Better hang on if he gets re elected this is just the start of whats to come.
and of course they release this policy on a Friday so it will get lost in the weekend news, which the lamestream media will gloss over anyways
I can just see all the undocumented gang bangers in California/NV/Az thumbing their noses at DHS officials...someone is gonna get hurt or killed because of this policy
This is just one step closer to to AMNESTY for all the illegals...its a joke how they try and justify the existence saying "if they havent committed any offenses or broken the law...well Hell, they are here illegally,last time I checked thats illegal
Napolitano, janet not the judge is a joke as DHS Secretary
Wake up people THIS IS YOUR COUNTRY
18-30 law abiding citizen. You have to have come here under the age of 16 how do we know when you got here your illegal ....... If your law abiding we dont have any reason to arrest you we dont go house to house looking for people . Its when you break the law your caught whats the difference in this and the way its always been . I heard someone on TV saying Finally I'm an American no your not this is not a pathway to citizenship. Now they say Obama stole this plan from Mark Rubio . Its a great way to shift the attention form WH leaks, fast and furious., etc........ BTW if Obama had a son I think he would look more like Eric holder than Travon
This is what sickens me most about the situation. Don't people realize that a President willing to circumvent his Congress on one subject will do so on all others as well? If this man decided to end welfare or social security, he would simply do so. Without question. Without a vote. Without regard to any citizen's wants.
He may not be the worst President ever, but he is by far the most dangerous.

I am affraid that this is only an indication what may be to come. The Supreme Court is to rule on a number of cases, including Obamacare and the Arizona illegal law before the end of the month. I wonder what obama will do if Obamacare is rule unconstitutional. Wouldn't be surprised if he ignored the Court and tried to implement it anyway. Now until November is really going to be an interesting time.

This could be of use to some of you? Maybe a good topic for some or that may have the disease?
This could be a little long but let me start by saying that I'm not looking for any sympathy from anyone. I have the disease and have dealt with it. Understand it, accepted it and deal with it everyday. So please don't make this discussion about me but rather the disease itself and how it can benefit what we as beeks do and hope to gain from it.
I was finally diagnosed with Crohn's formally around the first of January this year. After month's of testing (doctors on a witch hunt) from what began as a severe attack of my gallbladder. The disease was detected during a colonoscopy and further testing somewhat confirmed it. A day after the diagnosis I had my first flare that lasted for a month. Fortunately I ran into a good friend on a job site who's wife had been diagnosed with the disease some ten years ago. She found a diet that promised to put the disease into remission and possible cure. She followed the diet for a year and has since been in complete remission of the disease and lives and eats as she now wishes. He assured me that results could be seen almost immediately depending on how far advanced you are.
I did some research on the diet and ordered the book "Breaking the Vicious Cycle" ( Barry, if naming the name isn't alright delete it). The diet follows the premise that the disease is driven by bacterial infection or rather infestation of the digestive tract which is accepted commonly outside the US but rather here, the AMA classifies the disease as an Autoimmune disease. Treatments are harsh and almost completely ineffective and most often lead to surgery. I have a report from one person who has the disease that had a successful treatment, that after four surgeries was administered and has been in remission for the past four years. So the treatment is used only after extended efforts fail.
The diet is simple and returns to the basic diet people ate before man started making processed foods. Vegetables, fruits and meats alike are fine but only in there native forms. Vegetables are to be eaten fresh or frozen. Starches are not allowed and grains are not allowed. Any complex sugars are forbidden. The the diet restricts complex carbs and starches. Simple sugars are absorbed directly by the stomach and require no digestion. Starches and complex sugars require large amounts of digestive fluids which set up media for decaying matter which fuel the growth of pathogens and harmful bacteria, which then in turn eat away at the surfaces of the intestinal tract. It's believed that some of these bacteria which are free to grow and mutate and release toxins, may be the cause of the disease and other problems.
Now I'm certainly no doctor and I know there are some here that may like to dispute this information. I am passing it on as I understand it and welcome any comments. My own doctor rejects it, for good reason, he needs his paycheck. AMA---paycheck. Get it? But he has accepted my following of the diet and it's results and is just monitoring my progress without further treatments.
How does this tie into honey? Honey is the only sweetener other than a couple of the substitutes that are allowed by the diet. Some of you already know that because of the sugars that make up honey. They are simple strand carbs that are readily absorbed by our digestive system. I can tell you now that I can no longer tolerate any other types of sugars. Just a small amount will easily ruin my whole day! But I can eat honey straight out of the jar without any affects at all.
I recently learned of a friend back home in Asheville that was suffering from Ulcerative Colitis and was facing colon removal. I turned her onto the diet and took her my book. She was so desperate in finding some kind of answer that she immediately researched and started the diet. I learned from her today that after following the diet for only about a week she was able to for the first time in about a year, to go out and have a meal and enjoy her evening with her daughter without any problems at all. She has been a prisoner of the disease for the past year in her own home.
I don't claim to be the brightest bulb on the tree by no means. But this is pretty impressive to me folks and I'm grateful to have been given the information by my friend and for my friend I in turn could pass it on to. I have been amazed at the number of people that I have met that either have the disease or knows someone that does. They are everywhere! Some disabled and bed ridden with the disease or similar. It's a terrible crippling disease for some people.
The book and the information available on the web is a very good read. And in my opinion a return to a basic diet that most if not all people should try to return too. It's just simply a healthy diet.
So I put this here to hopefully point some of you that may be stricken with the disease to help and also for the beeks looking for a new market.
Just as a side note. I have lost weight from this past June, 242 down to 192 headed for 175 before I stop. Not as a result of the disease or the diet I'm following. You can gain on it as well. But because of my eating habits and will. And I'm glad to say that I have still gotten to enjoy the sweet treat of honey all along and pretty much any time I want it. And not much extra exercise to assist. Especially since cold weather set in and activities have slowed to a crawl.
Sounds like I'm selling a sit in front of the TV and loose weight diet! LOL Sorry, it's not that easy!
Sure hope this helps somebody out there!
God Bless

Category: Jellies, Anemones and kin view all from this category
Description Velella is a genus of free-floating hydrozoans that lives on the surface of the open ocean, worldwide, and is commonly known by the names by-the-wind sailor, purple sail, little sail, or simply Velella. The most common, and perhaps the only species encountered is Velella velella.
These small cnidarians are part of a specialised ocean surface community that also includes the cnidarian siphonophore known as the Portuguese Man o' War, as well as some specialized predatory gastropod mollusks, including nudibranchs (sea slugs) in the genus Glaucus and purple snails in the genus Janthina, all of which eat Velella.
Each Velella is a hydroid colony, and most are less than about 7 cm long. They are usually deep blue in colour, but their most obvious feature is a small stiff sail that catches the wind and propels them over the surface of the sea. Under certain wind conditions, they can become stranded on beaches in the thousands.
In common with other Cnidaria, Velella are carnivorous animals. They catch their prey, generally plankton, by means of cnidocyst (also called nematocyst) -laden tentacles that hang down in the water. Though the toxins in their nematocysts are effective against their prey, Velella are harmless to humans, either because their nematocysts are unable to pierce our skin, or perhaps because humans do not react to the toxins encapsulated in their nematocysts. Nevertheless, it is probably wise not to touch your face or eyes if you have been handling Velella.
Habitat Sandy beaches, Open ocean.
Range Florida, Texas, California, Mid-Atlantic.
