Welcome, Fisher, and good luck to you with your new boat; sounds nice. With regard to launching, I am lucky in that my hubby trailers the boat and puts in 99% of the time. I have had to (trailer &) launch on the oddball occasion and I think it's safe to say all beginners look like idiots at the ...

Fish_Head, With regard to your pic's, don't give up. :? I believe you can post from your C drive, but make sure the image size isn't too large. If you go into the photo gallery, there is an "upload" feature there. It took us a few tries to get it right, but it's worth it to be able to shar...

Seriously, depending on the time I've got and the value / action of the lure I'll be presenting, it could be either one.
