Randy,

Can you go over what type of camera setup you have for taking decent
pictures when you are fishing by yourself? I caught an 18" plus
smallmouth on Saturday, and wasn't able to take a decent picture, and I
was going to start looking at a decent camera setup, and I know you take
a lot of pictures by yourself.

Also anyone else who has any input at all , please jump in!

Thanks

Chris

If you can find a camera with a remote shutter attachement it's much
more convenient than a delay timer. In a bass boat, a seat pedestal can
be used to hold a cheap tripod head easily. That way the camera's always
in the same place. Shoot as wide an angle as you can, at as high a
resolution as you can, so you'll have plenty of res in the important
part of the picture after you crop the photos mercilessly. You can't
compose and crop through the viewfinder before squeezing off a shot, so
you've got to do it in the PC afterwards, and you need to start with a
much larger than necessary picture so you have enough left after you're
done.
