A buddy reminded me that the harvest moon is tonight. I plan on doing a hike and finding a good vantage of the moonrise this evening. And yes, I will be humming my favorite Neil Young song as the moon rises!
Enjoy your viewing, gentlemen:D

we have a massive south east system moving in rapidly and super big tides. We will not have a view of the moon tonight but we may have winds near 100 km/h and waves over 6m. Its just the start of our winter weather so it shouldn't get too crazy.
I hope you are on the leeward side, Rezdog.
Hopefully I will be able to get a decent pic to post. Well, decent for a phone camera.
Went out to a nature trail and walked a couple of laps. The moon was obscured by clouds at first, but it did come out. I alternated between fishing and watching the moon. The pictures did not turn out well so I will just post one to document the occasion.Attachment 140926
Did you catch any fish??Quote:

I think your lucky. I never had much luck on a full moon for bass. 3 days before and 3 days after they seem to jump on the boat. I have found on over fished lakes you have to show em something they never seen before. Around here they have so many holes in the mouth from being caught it makes it hard to keep the hook in em. I have got bass with 5 dollar lures hanging on them still. Too many people not enough water. You got a cherry spot.
10pups, I sometimes forget how spoiled I am with fishing opportunities.
Any fishing is good fishing,just getting back into it myself,state took my license away for 20 yrs:( but I have one now:)Quote:

You can't even call it fishing where you are. It's called catching. I actually hate fishing. But the days spent catching make me keep at it.
Good fishing is what I have a lot of.https://www.google.ca/search?q=fishi...&bih=683&dpr=1
Some nice NC moon last night. Thinking of my mutt I told my wife, "You have your full moon, half moon, quarter moon, crescent moon, waning, waxing, gibbous, harvest and blue... But what about a moon for all the dogs that howl at the moon? Why is there no Dog Moon?"
And she said, "EVERY moon is a Dog Moon!"

I had to look up Haida Gwaii. Looks nice. :tu
There are a lot of great things here if you are into the outdoors. Hunting and fishing, clam digging, dungeness crab, prawns, hiking, photography. The down side is everything costs a little bit extra, mail service is slow, and the ferry to the mainland is quite unreliable in the winter. My trip to the mainland is going to be delayed more than 24 hrs. All part of the price we pay for living in paradise!
I Also googled your Local,looks wonderfull.
Hmm. Maybe Rezdog can host a SRP fishing meetup:shrug:
That wouldn't break my heart at all. I think that everyone would be shocked at the travel costs though. If you want to come and hang out I'm always up for company. You may never want to leave though. A lot of people come for a holiday and then can't stay away. My father came here for a two year posting when I was a kid, he never left, and I'm still here too!
remember this?.....
Come a little bit closer
Hear what I have to say
Just like children sleepin'
We could dream this night away
But there's a full moon risin'
Let's go dancin' in the light
We know where the music's playin'
Let's go out and feel the night
Because I'm still in love with you
I wanna see you dance again
Because I'm still in love with you
On this harvest moon
When we were strangers
I watched you from afar
Then when we were lovers
I loved you with all my heart
But now it's gettin' late
And the moon is climbin' high
I want to celebrate
See it shinin' in your eye
Because I'm still in love with you
I wanna see you dance again
Because I'm still in love with you
On this harvest moon
Because I'm still in love with you
I wanna see you dance again
Because I'm still in love with you
On this harvest moon
I was listening to Mr. Young during my walk yesterday.
I'm a casual Neil Young listener ;).
Harvest Moon is definitely one of my favourite Neil songs :tu Thanks for the picks too, very nice.
this has been a fun thread!
If you are referring to my pic, thanks. I know I can't hang with the photography talent here, but I am trying.:)Quote:

I was indeed referring to your pictures. Looks like a nice calm setting :)Quote:

A couple of more pics of the pond and trail, in winter dress.

This was fresh snow from last night. I really enjoy being the first to leave tracks in the snow.
