Comment by DAVID L EITUTIS on February 2, 2012 at 9:04pm: YA KNOW GREG I had a fella tell me yyyyyyyyyyears ago that I would never make a bluegill fisherman out of my self and he may have been right, BUT I'M TRYING MY BEST! I see all these pics on this marvelous site and hope I can meet a few of these guys before I go to the big pond in the sky. I admire all these fellas who post pics , lllllllllllots of whom have caught much bigger panfish than me , bit I'm sure they didn't have any more fun than I have .
I wish I had a dollar for all the times my old buddy and I were in Iowa or southern Illinois when the guys pull up 15-20 feet away and I can hear the anchor drop. We don't even turn around and look and the next thing a few minutes later is this: HEY BUDDY WHAT THE HECK YOU USEING? HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHA HHHHHHHHHHA HAAA! Then the next thing is do you got some more of em? I tell ya only a thousand or so!
Next thing is , CAN WE COME OVER AND SEE EM? I TELL THE SSSSSSSSSSALE IS ON!

THE REST IS HISTORY

Comment by DAVID L EITUTIS on February 2, 2012 at 8:55pm: I HOPE IT WILL GET EASIER AS I AM THE SAME AS YOU. I bought this new camera a few days ago and am just now figureing it out and how to take close ups of the bugs etc. I only have two sons and they told me what ever I do don't show pics of the bugs cause I"m just shooting my self in the foot by doing that. I was going to patent them years ago but it was too costly . Oh well I'm sure there's plenty of other folks out there inventing stuff too. I just got lucky is all . I WILL FIGURE OUT HOW TO ADD PICS QUICKER AND MORE EFFICENTLY THOUGH , YOU CAN BET ON THAT.

Comment by Greg McWilliams on February 2, 2012 at 8:28pm: David , I do clean my area every so often usually when I am off to a tying show or event!!!!

I load up what I am going to and take my portable table, then I start putting away materials!!! But when I get back I have such a clean area, well I need to tie something!!!!! I usually have to or three projects on the table with all materials out!!!!

On to the pictures, I never used a digital camera til I joined this site!!!! My daughter showed me how and it will get easier as you go!!!!!!!

Comment by DAVID L EITUTIS on February 2, 2012 at 7:46pm: WELL GREG I really work at it cause I'll tie one pattern basically till it's done for the year , or I'm tired of em. Then I put all the materials away except for hooks if tying the same pattern. You have to remember I"m retired and do about a thousand a year of various patterns.
My bench used to look like yours till one day I couldn't find anything so I walked away from it for a month . WHEN I decided to go back down there I cleaned with a vengence and it's been that way for the past 6-7 years now.
ONe question for you . IT TOOK ME AN HOUR AND A HALF TO LOAD THESE PHOTOS WITH HELP FROM A GUY ON THE PHONE FROM NEW DELHI INDIA
