Going fishing today. One day I'll catch the tide right, the past two times we had higher than normal outgoing tides. I want to catch the tide coming in because the flounder are running.

Pictures! I want to see pictures of dead fish!

Will this be kayak fishing? You mention flounder, so I am assuming you will be in salt water. How big are your flounder.

Locally we have California halibut, with a maximum length of 60 inches and weight to 72 pounds but on average locals probably average 12 lbs but I sometimes read of a 30-40 pounder being taken. They must be 22 inches long before they are legal.

Sole & turbot are other common flatfish we have locally and they are mostly sought out by commercial fishing boats. They tend to be pretty small.

I love to fish...but I don't like fishy tasting fish. I enjoy halibut & sole though because they are not fishy tasting. Bonito is a local gamefish that I love catching but I will only eat it if the dark meat is cut out and then only if it is smoked.

It was not to be, my radiator is leaking and I have to replace it.

I'll be glad when November is over. There's a 2 flounder limit during Nov.

I've seen shows about those huge halibut being caught. A guy caught one that weighed 300 pounds while fishing out of a little dingy. They had to shoot the poor fish before landing him in the boat. It was almost as big as the boat! Sorry, I don't mind hauling in a 38" red but a fish that big scares the peewaddle out of me LOL I know how much it hurts when a 15" flounder jumps up out of the ice chest and bites me. I couldn't imagine having a huge one like that jump up.

I can post a picture of my biggest redfish but I don't know how to.

Since when does common sense take precedent over a fishing trip? (wink-wink)

It's really easy MJ, here's how.

1. If you don't have a photobucket account, get one, it's free plus a great place to store pictures in case your computer crashes. Just go to "Photobucket.com" and sign up.

2. Locate the picture on your computer and write down the location, such as "My Pictures-Nov22-011jpg."

3. Go to photobucket and log in. In the center of the screen you will see a Blue bar that says "Upload images and videos" click there.

4. A window will open up and then you navigate to where the picture is like "My pictures-Nov22-011jpg. and double click on the picture, it will upload.

5. You will then see the picture with a title bar so you can title the picture if you want to, if not, just click the gray "Return to Album" bar.

6. When you place your mouse over the picture there will be 4 tags under it The bottom one is an IMG tag, put your cursor right in the IMG box at the beginning of the string of letters and click on it. This will highlight it. Then go up to your toolbar and click on "Edit" the "Copy" under edit.

7. Come here and put your cursor where you want the picture to appear , go to your toolbar and again click "Edit" then "Paste." and your picture will appear. Print this out and try it, it sounds a little complicated but it's not. Soon you will be doing it without looking at the directions.

Here are the kittens that showed up on our doorstep.

Those babies look like my Midget! We brought Midget home last New Year's day. At the time she weighed 1 pound 4 oz and was 3 1/2 months old. Midgie was born during Ike. This I know for a fact since she came from my daughter AK8's house. She now weighs a whopping 6 3/4 pounds.

I think I have a Photobucket account. Will have to look and see.

Ok I'm trying this to see if it works.
It did! This is my Midget. In this photo she's a year old doing her famous stare. She only stares at me LOL Will sit forever just staring at me.

This is the 38" red I caught back in June at Rollover. Took me 25 minutes to bring her in. Soon as we got pictures hubby put her back in the water. After a few minutes of swishing her back and forth she took off. We never keep reds this size even tho we can with the tags. They are females and the breeding stock. I want her to go make more babies for me to catch!

Damn thats a big Red!! It is easy to post pictures, huh?

sure was easy! That red is one of 3 I've caught. I'll post the last one that a shark wanted as a snack LOL

I caught this one at the Wildlife Refuge back in late Sept. She was 37". Guess a shark wanted her for a snack! She had matching bite marks on the other side. Or maybe it was a gator, who knows. Doesn't look like prop damage but it could be. I like to think it was a ahark and she won the battle.

Yep, that's a shark bite, a small one.

Next question. How to put an avatar by my name?

Cute kittens Bullfrog. Good thing you are in Texas because my better half would want to adopt one....

MJD: Now THAT'S a fish! Great catch. Are reds good eating?

I landed the head of an albacore once. A sea lion got the main meal...... Darn sea lions....

Anytime that you are signed on at the top of the screen you will see "Profile" click there and you will see "Avatar."

You have several choices, one being "upload picture from my computer, another being "Upload avatar from an URL", and still another saying "Link to an offsite avatar." (such as that tag in photobucket.

They also of course have the generic "Select avatar from our gallery" which in our place is pretty good. It's not those silly cartoon characters but real photos of Hollywood stars.
