Gillian and I decided to take a quick trip to the Belleville, Ontario to do some shore fishing in the Bay of Quinte with a couple friends. Very windy conditions and heavy boat traffic made locating walleye and bass very difficult. We ended up targeting small pan fish. We caught a variety of fish, including rock bass, sunfish, bluegill and for the first time I caught a goby. The goby is an invasive species that can be found throughout the great lakes. They take over prime spawning sites traditionally used by native species, competing with native fish for habitat and changing the balance of the ecosystem.
We fished well into the darkness and my friends landed a couple nice bass and a big crappie before we packed up and headed home for a few beers.
First, I appologize for the lack of updates recently. Clive and I have both been working furiously to generate some great new content for everyone. We took a few trips to “The Bog”, Lake Scugog, and had one hell of a time both on the lake and at the only bar in Port Perry the night before. Unfortunatly, we weren’t able to land any Musky on either trip, but we did find the occasional out-of-season Largemouth Bass and lots of Panfish and Rock Bass. The guy in the middle is Martin, a friend of a friend that happened to come along last minute. It couldn’t have worked out better because we had a crazy-ass time at the bar. He definitely knows what fishing fury is all about.
You may not have even noticed, but our site was moved to a new server a few days ago which will allow for the higher capacity of hits the photo gallery will no doubt generate, and further expansion into some new and exciting sites. This site may go down briefly tonight as I try, again, to update Wordpress to version 2.
The Fishing Fury photo gallery is coming along nicely and I’m expecting to launch the first version very soon. This would be my first project in Ruby on Rails and I wan’t to make sure it’s a bit more polished before I release it. Though I haven’t worked with RoR for very long I really like the environment they’ve set up, I just wish (like many newbies, I’m sure) their online documentation was a bit more complete.
I’ve even got another review coming soon!
JVC Everio First Impressions - I bought this camera because it sounded like everything I wanted and needed (other than High Definition), and it would hopefully save me from hours of capturing footage from DV tapes. This camcorder is able to record over 7 hours of DVD quality footage, to it’s internal 30GB hard drive. Will it be everything I hoped for, or another great idea built on crippled hardware or software. (model: GZ-MG77U)
