Rd. #1 - OTS Bait Gathering/Series

LOL... it's all pretty easy with programs nowadays. It's all just drag and drop. Pretty intuitive. The thing that takes the longest, and most thinking for me, is sometimes trying to find royalty-free decent music.

But thanks guys... seriously, I whipped this together yesterday, but I wanted to add the LeakyTube winning fish at the beginning, once I found out he was Mr. BigFish. I had some video of Ed and Brian, but they sucked. The GoPro is pretty much only good for up-close-and-personal video in daylight. Any distance, and the wide-angle lens make people (and fish) look tiny.

LeakyTube.. I got this (older model) on ebay, and the older model (Hero1?) is dropping on Amazon (new). I think it's as low as $180 new. I just reach up and press the top button for on and off. It makes a series of beeps when it stops video. I have a few extra batteries, that I swap in and out when it runs out. Batteries are the limiting factor. 32GB card will record forever. (well.. maybe not for the marathon session you and Waxon did..)

Cool video Doc...

awesome video! sorry i missed this one, but the wife and I were out late watching movies! saw Prometheus,.. so epic! lol

Awesome video Jay and good job out there

Glad you made out ok I was starting to worry about you when I couldn't see you anymore. Honestly that was not a good day to be on the water for the first time tubing it was a bit windy and there was alot of current, I got leg cramps twice trying to get around and had to tie off to bouye to take a rest. Try hitting a local lake to get the hang of it or some place further in the bay where it is calmer and you can figure how to move and what works. My first time I was all over Jenks lake I looked like a bee struggling on the surface of the water.

Damn bud if you had brought that 2 lber in you would have won 2 of the pots! But it was from shore and not a tube so maybe not.

Good to see the turnout for the NB tourney! Hope to fish with you all again soon. Old as dirt Lagunacoconut lol.

Dude! Where have you been!!?????

Ok I'm calling foul! Leakytube weighed his fish with the jig head and plastic still in it! omg that is atleast a 1.4 oz jig head and .2 of plastic so his fish was only .2 oz! I want a recount!

j/k bro congrats, ya did a good job eh.

I havn't fished in about 4-5 weeks been doing alot of cycling and working on bikes. And I cleared out alot of my outdoor gear and fishing tackle at the Minni's swapmeet, mostly stuff I had alot of or will never use. You need to get out of that boat and back in your tube bro!

Heck yeah I'll even sell my float tube to pay for gas and food! Let me know what I need for tackle so I can make sure I have it or respool it.

The next event is at the LAB... so that's pretty calm water and not as spread out as NPH. Just need to keep an eye out for the a-hole outrigger boaters trying to run you over. Ask Waxon..

Did he come down in a walker with an innertube? Cat gut line and a cane pole with a shiner for bait? I dont believe it, he is like BigFoot. Did anyone actually get a picture? .......I didnt think so!

I can't find the orig thread with the dates and locations of the events in the FTF Series.

I'm pretty sure the next event is at the LAB.. but what date/time again?
Also, I think the original had a few event incorrectly listed as Sunday evenings?

Miller, can you post up a revised current schedule? Looking forward to it..
Thanks.. -Jay

I "think" the LAB is July 15th..?

I'm seriously thinking of doing that one...
