ARW - PreDerby Recon, 6/2/12

Nice sized plainfin midshipman (Porichthys notatus). They are a cool fish that have photo phores which are the light producing cells under their body.

No kidding? Are you a marine biologist or a ?? I'd love to do your work if that's the case! Thanks, I take it by your response that your not going to make it...

Glen, thanks for the ARW recon report brother! Bummer to hear that ya went home buttless, but it's nice to hear that some of our brothers did have some success

Although this tourney is gonna be stacked with some great fishermen, if I had to put $ down on the ARW tourney, I'd place it on you Much success to you and everyone at next week's tourney!!

Daniel,
don't put too much $ down... been on a slump the last 3 outtings..... hopefully Sunday will turn the tide (ooh... another kayak pun)....

Hope to fish with at ARW!!!!

can anyone advise on the TapTalk app... will it make transferring pics easier?
worth getting?

thanks,
dave

Yes. Click a button and choose a pict or take one from the camera.
I have two paid apps on my iphone, one is a NOAA mapping thing called FlyToMap. The other is the TapaTalk. Worth the $3 if you're an NCKA junky. 

Btw, congrats to those who scored. I still hate ARW. I think it hates me. 13 attempts and not one bite, come on. That place owes me some fish.

thx Lucky 13.. I will give them both a look-see

Its fun but def a job for right after college Im moving on to more schooling and hopfuly an aquarium job I wont be making it to ARW so have fun out there guys!

Wes

Hey Wes, no worries...I understand! That's fantastic. Coming out of high school I had dreams of obtaining a degree in marine biology from humbolt state however, I got sidetracked by family, marriage and like lol.
Sorry you won't be able to make it Sunday.
Peace
Don
