Sunrise on my little home lake...Happy Holler MO

My son likes this picture so I made a picture frame from a Cherry tree log, leaving the bark on it for a birthday present for my him
Late one evening last Fall. Just one more cast.

That's ok. You can PM me the pic and I'll review it to see if its good enough to put on the site.
Some great looking pics
I stumbled upon a gorgeous sunset just across the river from my house. It's a 3 minute walk to this spot by an old railroad bridge that's converted into a bike trail. Not a bad spot to catch WI river smallies.
Calm and peaceful morning!

This is one of my favorite lakes in Central Michigan. Horrible boat launch but well worth it for the peace and quiet and no boat traffic, and big bass!

Haha around here they generally keep their distance, but that guy was so focused on gorging on baitfish he was only a few feet from the boat so I had to snap a quick one of him
it's from last year but still my favourite pic of the lake
and this one from this year this is what i see from my dock
Got this shot last Spring. It was too vibrant to not stop fishing and get a picture
Spotted the Pinta and the Nina coming down the Mississippi river .
NOT FAIR !! I'm jealous of all of you guys. its 24 degrees and ice on my pond here in Indiana.

Yep. Reminded me I had a similar shot. ? There's something about those calm days where the reflection on the water is an inverted mirror image.

Must be their GPS quit working somewhere along the way. I always heard Christopher Columbus wasn't the first to discover the Americas. Now we have proof!
It's a shame I didn't catch any fish when I ran way up here with the gopro on since it's such a great backdrop...
Here's the view of a sunset on the little lake in northern Wisconsin we camp on every year. Beautiful. There are we loon pairs, at least one nested Bald eagle and a few great Horned owls in the area.
the little farm pond 1 mile from work, where I get away at lunch...
Looking at these pictures, how could anyone wonder why we do what we do?

and then there's the river... wind in the hair (what's left of it) and sun on the face...

A few from this year's various fishing trips...
Not mine but one taken of my local lake a couple of years ago...
Osprey nest, Guntersville Lake
The first is my three year old entertaining himself while I fish, a truly rare occurrence. The second is at the Owen-Putnam forest, a very secluded spot but I had a good time with my son.
Snows & Blues
Greens pond in Franklin,Ma. A mile from the house,this is my go to spot as the sun goes down.The bite goes away in October here for some reason but I can't stay away.
Camping spot on the Upper Potomac River
Wasn't bass fishing in this pic but every now and then I like to get out and relax tightlining for some cats
Little lake in columbia maryland in a neighborhood.
Patapsco river
Southern Indiana
Another lake in Southern Indiana that is almost always calm
From trip to Weiss Lake last year
Heres more of my home lake.
Would have sworn this was from Mars. Guess it proves there is water on that planet!
Lake George, upstate NY.
If you look closely you can see the floating classroom. It's a hands on teaching session about water quality and what makes Lake George unique. They take kids from grades 6-8 from the surrounding school districts. My son's class went a few years ago and he loved the experience. My Father in law and I see it every so often when fishing in that area.

Lake Eufaula almost sunset coming out of a major creek
Well done guys. For a change of pace, here's a screenshot from my GoPro on my local river. This was taken about 12 feet on the bottom. The current is pretty quick, hence why everything is so clear. If you look closely at the top you will notice that the 'sky' and the 'clouds' are actually just frozen ice. Kind of like an underwater desert.
Arrowhead Lake Maine
Pond in Cincinnati where I used to canoe
New river in West by God virginia where I learned to love smallmouth
My favorite. My oldest son and I.
Salmon fishing in New York.
Not all of these are from this past year, but these are some of my favorites.
Fly fishing, Colorado Rockies, Aug 2016
Unfortunately I have more scenic pictures then pictures with fish. Lol
Both pictures are of Connecticut.
One of my pics and one of "my " favorite pics - saw it in Nat Geo. Thought you guys might appreciate it, it's a crane migration during a storm. The photographer took thousands of pictures and managed to get this one timed right with the Lightning.
GA sunset while walleye fishing.
Had this view one day while fishing late summer.
Not sure why it is sideways, but this from the morning we were leaving LOTW in August 2016. Love this pic.
Lots of awesome pictures in this thread!
This little pond is in a state park but it's just over a mile walk to get to it, but I usually have it all to myself.
Not from last year but a couple of my favorites.
The one in my profile picture was on my birthday Dec 20th, we are a mile offshore fishing jigs on deep structure!
Greenbo Lake, Greenup, Ky
This is of my son fishing off a friends dock in MN.
Morning on a remote MN lake.
Norris, and Laurel Lake.
Got to love northern Michigan
Maybe not the most scenic, but it got my attention when I realized how fast the vegetation grew. Funny thing is that most of this stuff starts to die out around mid July.

Early Spring morning

Have been there several times. Can't believe how strong the current can be. I hear that entrance is one of the more dangerous places on the east coast.
A couple of pictures of early morning fishing on the Delta..
Peaceful sunrise!

I took this picture just as we launched the boat (7am) on Jan 22, 2017. It is on the Portage Lakes in Ohio. The weather was unseasonably warm that day (60 degrees), and the water temp was hovering around 40-45 degrees.
This is a stretch of the Clark Fork river below the first dam called Blue Slide that we took around this same time last year.

Last evening fishing in Florida, 1 week before Christmas
Been fishing this river for almost 30 years.
Storm took down this tree right in my favorite spot. Created my new favorite spot.
Check out this dink.
Glass water in the Fall right before I make some ripples.
The end of a good day fishing.
