Today I got out for a couple hours to enjoy some early season salmon fishing. I got up to the Salmon River in Pulaski New York about 3:30 pm and the weather was gorgeous. I have been under a lot of stress lately and I really needed a relaxing diversion. The salmon have started running early this year due to the unseasonably cooler temps the past couple weeks.  The river was filled with people and shortly after I got in the water I saw a lot of guys hooking up with fish. I went to one of my favorite spots and was happy to see not many people fishing it. I managed to hook up with 4 fish and landed 2 fish. Here are some pics.

I caught me a Lake Michigan King Salmon last Saturday. Filleted it and made some cavier from some of her eggs. Not too shabby for my first King.

Fresh cucumber, chunked smoked salmon mixed with cream cheese with salmon cavier. It was amazing!

That's what I am talking about! Nice fish! The food looks delicious!  Good to see another fisherman on the forum!

I truly enjoy walking and exploring the old battlefields of France WW1

This summer I brought my kids with me as i think its important to teach them young about the horrors of war.

Being a keen fossil hunter I keep my eyes fixed on the soil as you never know what you might find and sure enough we did find some battlefield relics (shrapnel balls etc)

Some live artillery shells too but we made very sure to leave them untouched :-)

After a 100+ years in the soil this little treasure caught my eye while walking along a ploughed field.

Turned out to be British General Service button.

I'm pretty boring in comparison :P I enjoy reading, writing, and doing research. I used to enjoy drawing, but was never really any good at it with any consistency.  And unfortunately, I've had writer's block for a few years now, spare for the occasional essay that results from a writing prompt.

That is one cool collection :-) Very unusual too. I like it!

Yeah those lead Knights of mine are 1950's hollow cast lead figures. Will see if I can post a pic of it.

Skye,

 

Dont underestimate yourself. I have seen your work before and its quite nice.

I've only ever done six decent drawings -that's not the best of track records :P

It took me 12 years to finish my novel. That included an 8 year writer's block! Don't give up, it will break.

6 is better than nothing. I only spew out weird cartoons for fun. Never actually made a proper decent rendering of anything remotely realistic.

That's great, I like the knights with the fossil and your military items. A wide range of history in your collection, interesting. A mini museum. Kind regards Bobby

I like to take pictures with my digital camera, mostly while on vacation. I then work with them in Photoshop and send the results to friends and family. I took an online course in Photoshop while my leg was in a cast some years back. I liked it so much, I took another one, which was more advanced. Working the available assignments were not mandatory, but they were very helpful. I particularly liked the result of one. I was supposed to get five pictures of animals, five pictures of flowers, and five pictures of trees. Then I was to combine them with varying treatments into one image. I had visited the St. Louis zoo and taken many pictures, so I was able to find fifteen images that would fit the requirement. Here is the result.

Yes, you do and it shows! That's a very nice display project. 

I really like the lemur image.

Thank you. That rusty, damaged helmet is actually a Brit WW1 helmet found by a buddy of mine on The Somme :-)

Things have been really busy for me lately. Still working on the kitchen, overtime at work, kids are back in school, and there has been no time for fossils. But today I managed to get the boys out fishing for a little while and had some fun. We fished the Oswego river, which is getti g a nice run of salmon despite unseasonably hot weather. While we didn't catch any of the big boys, we did catch a few walleyes, one smallmouth, and a few gobies.
