We all can recognize the signs of acne--those unsightly red bumps that form on the skin, particularly in oily zones, but fewer people understand where these blemishes come from. Acne occurs when the pores become clogged with bacteria, debris and natural oil. A mild infection develops in the affected pore, producing the inflammation that we refer to as zits or pimples. Understanding the causes of acne from a clinical perspective, cosmetic and medical experts developed the PCA SKIN Acne Treatments line to battle existing blemishes and decrease the likelihood of future breakouts.
Available exclusively in the United States, the PCA SKIN Acne Treatments collection penetrates deep into the pores to deliver its therapeutic properties into the tissue most susceptible to inflammation from acne breakouts. With products available to accommodate all skin types, the PCA SKIN Acne Treatments range uses powerful formulas that heal without causing additional irritation or over-drying. If used regularly, the products in the PCA SKIN Acne Treatments collection can put an end to your acne woes for the clearer, radiant skin that you never thought possible.
Flight blemishes before they have a chance to start with the PCA SKIN Acne Treatments collection. These effective, safe products purify and unclog the pores to clear the skin of whiteheads and blackheads. Additionally, the acne-fighting products also help heal existing blemishes, banishing their unsightly presence faster and restoring your self-confidence.
PCA SKIN Acne Gel helps you bid farewell to blemishes once and for all. The effective gel delivers a powerful dose of 2 percent salicylic acid and 5 percent azelaic acid to heal and dry out infections, speeding up the disappearance of your existing blemishes. In addition, the formula helps limit the amount of sebum produced by your skin, which diminishes the likelihood that your acne will return after the healing process is complete. To lessen irritation, the acne gel also contains soothing and nourishing natural ingredients, including cinnamon bark, ginger root, green burnet root and licorice extract.
If you suffer from both mild acne and sensitive, easily-irritated skin, the PCA SKIN Acne Cream is the product designed especially for you. Containing 5 percent benzoyl peroxide, the cream is solely a spot treatment used to eliminate existing pimples. Safe enough for daily use after regular cleansing and toning, the acne cream uses aloe leaf to limit redness and irritation that can occur with other, harsh acne treatments that are available on the market. The actions of the formula are also enhanced with the presence of natural tea tree oil, anthemis nobilis flower extract and grapefruit peel oil.

Enhancing the Ecological Integrity and Ecological Services of Halgolla Estate
10 April 2013 | News story
Halgolla is a 1,196 ha tea estate managed by Kelani Valley Plantations PLC. It is located in Yatiyanthota in the Sabaragamuwa Province.The Wewalthalawa watershed is a unique and isolated watershed area within Halgolla Estate, and forms the catchment of Olu Oya, which feeds the Kelani River through Wee Oya.
The natural and semi-natural areas of the Wewalthalawa watershed function as an important repository of Sri Lanka's biodiversity. Many of Sri Lanka's endemic and threatened species, including faunal species such as the Rhino-horn lizard (Ceratophora stoddartii) and Sri Lanka whistling thrush (Myophonus blighi), and rare floral species such as Vatica lewisiana and Gordonia speciosa, have been recorded in these habitats. Some of these species have been recorded for the very first time in this region, making these natural habitats immensely important for the conservation of Sri Lanka's biodiversity, overall.
Recognizing the ecological importance and conservation needs of the Wewalthalawa watershed, the management of the estate entered into a partnership with IUCN Sri Lanka. The objective of this initiative was to develop a management plan for the natural areas that lie within the estate premises, and to improve the ecological integrity and watershed services of the property, overall. As such, IUCN Sri Lanka designed and implemented a project to meet these objectives within the overall framework of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM).<>n
In addition, Gordonia speciosa – a nationally threatened endemic species with a highly restricted range – was propagated as part of the project, in an effort to conserve this extremely rare species.

Congratulations to the team on a great First Look and follow up info.
I have my own questions from the first look page 5:
-Can't take a foreground tuner from another client but can take a background tuner that is being used for double play. Ques: What happens if anything when the HR34 user swaps the double play tuners, anything?
-For live tv, you can tie up all 3 tuners with any 3 clients. leaving one client (even the HR34) with only being able to view previously recorded content. Ques: This seems to indicate that with 3 clients, the HR34 viewer cannot watch live TV? What does the HR34 viewer see when trying to tune a live channel? And can the HR34 still record 2 other channels thereby putting 5 tuners to use?
1. If the HR34 has a background tuner taken for double play by another client and you try and flip back with the HR34 the HR34 acts as though you don't have double play active and asks you if you want to start double play. If you say yes, it pops up the conflict screen and let's you choose which tuner to steal from another clients background tuner, or possibly cancel a recording depending on how the other tuners are tied up at that point.
2. No, what was indicated was If all 5 tuners are taken up by other clients (two of them could/would be tied up by actively using double play on two of the clients), then there is no live tuner immediately available for the hr34. So then if you try and tune to a live channel on the hr34 in that scenario you get a conflict screen asking which background tuner you want to take, or you can go to the playlist and view something that has been recorded.
You can watch a channel being recorded from any one client at a time. But no two clients can use the same tuner at the same time regardless if that tuner is recording or not as well.

Golden State's exports continue to surge
April 15, 2011
California exporters recorded their 16th consecutive month of healthy year-over-year gains in February with shipments totaling $11.76 billion, a 13.4 percent increase over the same month last year, according to an analysis by Beacon Economics of foreign trade data released recently by the U.S. Commerce Department.
Manufactured exports were up 9.4 percent, while non-manufactured exports (chiefly raw materials and agricultural products) rose by 10.6 percent. Re-exports were meanwhile up by 30.8 percent.
"On an inflation-adjusted basis, California's export trade this February exactly matched the value of our exports in February 2008, before the global economy began its precipitous slide into an abysmal recession," said Jock O'Connell, Beacon Economics' International Trade Adviser.
"Growing exports will continue to be an important part of the recovery in the nation and in California," added Beacon Economics Founding Partner Christopher Thornberg. "The solid employment numbers coming out of San Jose and San Diego can be directly traced to growing technology exports."
Unlike the United States as a whole, which saw merchandise exports decline 2.3 percent from January to February, California's exports of goods this February topped the previous month's total by $17 million.
"Export figures should really be viewed as lagging economic indicators in the sense that cargos departing today are the result of foreign orders for California goods that were placed weeks or even months ago," O'Connell advised.
"Interpreting February's numbers does not require a crystal ball but rather a review of news reports from last fall to see what was happening then that might have been informing business expectations about the future," O'Connell explained.
In an interview with SCMR, O'Connell noted that On the plus side for California exporters, the dollar has fallen 6 percent so far this year against a weighted basket of currencies from America's major trading partners.
"Most forecasts call for the dollar to move even lower as the year through this year," he said.

WASHINGTON – A 15-year-old Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School student is dead after a tree fell on him as he rode his bicycle during the storms Monday evening.
Police identified the teen as Joshua Davis of Chevy Chase, Md. and said the severe weather may be a factor in his accidental death.
Police said the preliminary investigation indicated Davis was riding a bicycle on one of the side trails off of the main Rock Creek Trail when the tree fell.
His body was found Tuesday afternoon in the woods near Jones Mills Road and Susanna Lane. A search Monday night was unsuccessful.
Davis' parents reported him missing Monday night after he failed to return from his bike ride.
Grief counselors will be on hand at the high school Wednesday.
The teen's death remains under investigation. Anyone with information is asked to call police at 240-773-5070.

I am trying to convince people from my organization to migrate to Zimbra.
The big pushback is not so much the migration or getting used to a new tool.
The big pushback is how a user will be able to "interact" with her management if the management does not move to Zimbra.
One critical feature seems to be calendering and especially meeting scheduling.
Is there a way to have access to free/busy information from a non Zimbra user?
Is there a way to have access from Exchange to Zimbra users's free busy info?

Collapse Game Overview
Clear matching bricks and blow up the rest. Will you survive or Collapse!? Click matching groups of three or more bricks to clear the board. After you clear all of the new rows of bricks, you will move on to the next level. Don't let the wall of bricks reach the top or the game will end. Watch out! Those falling bricks speed up over time!
1.To start the round, click Click to Start.
2.Use your mouse to click groups of three or more matching bricks to clear them from your brick wall.
3.Click bombs to clear large groups of bricks.
Collapse® Tips and Strategies
· For maximum points, concentrate on clearing all colors but one. Once that one color has built up into a large group, click the group and get big bonus points for clearing large block combinations.
· When desperate, click madly. You might get lucky and clear sets of blocks you otherwise wouldn't spot.
· Click black bombs to clear whole swathes of bricks, regardless of color.
· Click colored bombs to clear all matching bricks from the puzzle (green bombs clear all green bricks).
· Bombs must be clicked to explode. If a row of blocks falls on a bomb, it will not detonate and you will lose the bomb.
· Indestructible gray blocks will appear in later levels. These blocks cannot be removed without the aid of the black super bomb, so try to save the black super bombs to take out these blocks.

GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich is expressing outrage over a U.S. apology to Afghan authorities for burned Qurans on a military base.
Gingrich lashed out Thursday at the Obama administration for the formal apology. Copies of the Muslim holy book were found burned in a garbage pit on a U.S. air field.
President Barack Obama's apology was announced Thursday morning. A few hours later, news organizations reported that an Afghan soldier had killed two U.S. troops and wounded others in retaliation for the Quran burning.
Campaigning in Washington state, Gingrich says Afghan President Hamid Karzi owes the U.S. an apology for the shootings and that the Afghans "do not deserve the apology of the United States."
The Obama administration says the apology is appropriate given the religious sensitivities involved.

The Road Back to Recovery
The challenges that President Obama inherited were immense–two wars, record debt, a broken health care system, and an economy in crisis. For two years, Democrats have worked to rebuild our economy from the bottom up, spurring job creation, expanding access to health care, investing in small business, and expanding opportunities for education.
There is still much work to be done to recover from the worst recession in decades, but America is now moving in the right direction. Across the country, Democrats have made investments to lay a new foundation for growth and build an economy that works for all Americans.

I just checked out the IDFG records, and my buddies Idaho bull is 157 3/8. From what I can see this one looks much bigger.
I don't know much about field judging moose but I think this bull would score pretty well. I saw him in 09 while elk hunting in the Snowies, does anyone have an idea what he would score? Not the best pic I know. If they scored his waddle he would be B&C for sure lol. If I had to guess I would say about 140 but that could be way off.

That really looks like a nice bull to me! Wow I can't wait until the day I draw a tag, hopefully!!

I was thinking 165-170. A "outstanding" bull.
Can you handle the challenge.... hunt hard but safe!!
My bull scored 168 and change, this one is bigger. I would put him in the high 170s, maybe a little bigger. Definitely a booner.
Wow, I was way off! Man I wish I would have had a moose tag in my pocket that day. He stood there broadside and looked at me for at least 30 seconds at about 15 yards, that would have been awesome to get a B&C moose with my bow. Maybe someday.
I know nothing about scoring moose, but he looks like a giant!

That bull is an absolute, dyed in the wool, monster bull! Exceptional bull. 180+
I have seen a lot of Wyoming moose. Been on over 8 or 9 kills on bulls. And harvested several my self. When it comes to score the spread is part of the total B&C score. Is it 46",49", 50" or 54" makes a difference. He has excellent back paddles and over 20 points! I can't see the front risers. But he is in the 170 for sure and if I could see his spread he could go in the 180's! But I think he is short in the front risers. Which will hurt the score. But as good as I have seen in 50 years living in moose country. Mike

Definite shooter, but you really do need a frontal view to get close on moose score. Width, as well as depth of front forks make a huge difference in score.

Anatomy of the Prostate Gland
Prostate Cancer
Researchers don't know all of the functions of the prostate gland. But they do know that the prostate gland plays an important role in both sexual function and urinary function. It is common for the prostate gland to become enlarged as a man ages. It's likely that, as a man, you may have some type of prostate problem in your lifetime.
Many prostate problems are quite common and may happen to men of all ages. These include prostatitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), impotence, and urinary frequency, hesitancy, and incontinence.
Cancer of the prostate is also a common and serious health concern. It is a common form of cancer among men. What can you do to protect yourself? Talk with your health care provider to learn more about the pros and cons of screening for prostate cancer to help you decide if it is right for you.

WEIRTON - It was Senior Night on Monday inside the Carl Hamill Field House and things couldn't have worked out better for Weir High's basketball team.
Mike Granato's club reeled off 11 straight points to break open a tight contest (there were 16 lead changes before the Red Riders run) and dispose of John Marshall, 59-43.
"I told the kids after practice Saturday that our four seniors deserved a night like (Monday)," Granato said. "I also told them everyone should work their tails off to give them that. They (the seniors) have given our program everything they have.
"We all wish we could have won more games but our seniors never quit. They have great character. Teams that are 1-19 don't play with the kind of effort we showed."
John Marshall (5-15) took a 39-37 lead early in the final stanza thanks to a Ryan Davis 3-pointer. From there, it was all Weir.
Senior Dylan Cassiadoro knotted the score when he converted an Andre Sims pass into two points. Sims put the Riders up for good, 41-39, scoring from the paint off an assist from senior Shane Davis. A third senior, Josh Groves, recorded a deuce after a nifty pass from Michael Curtis.
Sims knocked down 3 of 4 free throws and Shane Davis scored off a long pass from Curtis to finish the burst and put the Riders up 48-39. The fourth Riders senior, Nate Masters, making his irst start, stretched the advantage to 56-41 on his drive to the hoop.
In outscoring the Monarchs 24-11 during the final frame, Weir knocked down 10 of 15 field goal tries.
Sims paced the Riders in scoring with 18. Shane Davis added 12 and recorded four steals. Cassiadoro finished with 10.
Ryan Davis had 11 for John Marshall. Filben added 10.

ATLANTA (AP) - Georgia state labor officials say the number of laid-off workers filing first-time claims for unemployment benefits was down by 3.4 percent in September.
Officials say the last time initial claims were below that level was in September 2007.
State labor officials say 34,293 laid-off workers filed first-time claims for unemployment insurance benefits in September, down from August when 35,503 claims were filed.
The Georgia Department of Labor announced the numbers early Thursday.
Typically, the state agency also releases Georgia's new unemployment rate during this time of the month. However, that data wasn't released because it requires approval from the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics, where employees have been furloughed due to the government shutdown.

Susan Davis, USA TODAY
WASHINGTON -The federal government shut down for the first time in
nearly two decades following more than a week of legislative jockeying
by House Republicans to extract concessions from President Obama and
Senate Democrats on the Affordable Care Act.
Shortly before
midnight, Obama notified government agencies to prepare to cease
operations Tuesday, even as House Republicans worked on a fourth and
final attempt to again advance a plan to delay the individual mandate to
buy health insurance exchanges that open for enrollment Tuesday.
House Republicans' moves came as a series of polls released Monday
showed that they were bearing the bulk of the blame for the shutdown.
One of their Senate colleagues, Sen. John McCain of Arizona, the party's
2008 presidential nominee, called their position doomed to eventual
Republicans were also seeking a motion to start formal
negotiations, called a conference committee, with the Senate on the
stopgap spending measure - an unusual request for a six-week spending
bill that funds the government at current levels, but it provides
Republicans a vehicle to keep the debate going. It was quickly rejected
by Senate Democrats.

Burlington, NC -- In 2009, Jeanine Patten-Coble was diagnosed with breast cancer. The very next day, she went to the beach with her family. After happening upon a group of houses left behind by the U.S. Coast Guard, she had a vision of little pink houses. She wanted families affected by the disease to be able to get away with their families to rest, regroup and just have fun together.
She doesn't have her actual little pink houses- yet. She does make it possible for lots of families to take a break at the beach.
The organization, based in Burlington, just got back from a trip to Carolina Beach. It's the first trip of 2013. There will be 11 more by year's end.
Patten-Coble and the Little Pink Houses of Hope team round up volunteers and donated beach houses at different beaches. Then they plan a week of fun activities for families to enjoy. They range from beach games to yoga to paddle boarding.
If you want to know more about volunteering or attending a retreat, check out their website.

'The Dempsey Sisters' preps to shoot in Wilmington
Published: Wednesday, August 28, 2013 at 4:24 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, August 28, 2013 at 4:24 p.m.
Southeastern N.C. | Local production company Swirl Films will begin filming the new movie "The Dempsey Sisters" next week in Wilmington.
According to casting director Kim Stewart, the film is about members of a singing group who are following their dreams.
The production recently finished up principle casting, though Stewart has posted an open casting notice for Wilmington residents in search of a 21-30 year-old female of any ethnicity to play a supporting role of "Assistant." The post says the person "must look sweet, wide eyed and have a caring quality." The deadline to apply is Sept. 1 (www.backstage.com/casting/the-dempsey-sisters-12553/).
Stewart said the movie will premiere on DVD.

NFPA Members save an additional 10%.
NFPA 101®: Life Safety Code® is the most widely used source for strategies for occupant safety throughout the life cycle of a building.
Make decisions that impact lives with strategies for occupant safety in NFPA 101: Life Safety Code. Unique in the field, it is the only Code that covers life safety in both new and existing structures. Requirements address building construction, protection, and occupancy features that minimize the effects of fire and related hazards. Each edition builds on important new information about life safety in the built environment, with consensus-based changes that reflect innovative designs, technologies, materials, and construction practices. When tragedies do occur, investigations invariably reveal serious Life Safety Code violations.
The 2012 NFPA 101: Life Safety Code evolves to address new building safety challenges and important lessons learned about occupant safety. For this edition of the Code, all new high-rise buildings must meet the requirements of Chapter 11's high-rise building package. Other major changes involve rules for CO alarms and detection systems in certain residential living units, exit stair enclosure path markings, and egress provisions for safe use of elevators for occupant evacuation. Provisions for health care occupancies include compliance options that give patients and residents a more comfortable, home-like environment.
The 2009 NFPA 101: Life Safety Code builds on the groundbreaking sprinkler mandates in the previous edition, with added requirements for automatic sprinklers in all existing high-rise health care occupancies and all new apartment buildings without exception. New evacuation strategies and technologies facilitate faster movement of more people in an emergency, including new egress capacity criteria for stairs that are more than 44 inches in width. The 2009 edition of NFPA 101 enhances safety with health care occupancy door locking for patient protective needs, and 2-way communication systems in areas of refuge -- even where the building is sprinklered -- to let people notify responders of their location.
The 2006 NFPA 101: Life Safety Code expands requirements for automatic fire sprinkler protection with added sprinkler mandates for all new one- and two-family dwellings, new and existing nursing homes, existing nightclub assembly occupancies where occupant load exceeds 100 people, and new nightclub assembly occupancies regardless of occupant load. This important Code edition also presents a chapter on existing building rehabilitation that provides greater flexibility to encourage adaptive reuse without sacrificing life safety. Previously, modifications to existing buildings had to comply with provisions for new construction. Now, Chapter 43 introduces specific requirements for repairs, renovations, reconstruction, additions, change of use or occupancy classification, and work on historic buildings.
The 2003 NFPA 101: Life Safety Code is a complete safety system that includes rules for the full range of occupancies; egress requirements, stair markings, and emergency lighting; provisions concerning features of fire protection; and a sophisticated performance-based option for code compliance. Code users will find revised illumination levels for new stairs, a section addressing written emergency plans, revised requirements for testing of mattresses and upholstered furniture, and a section with "analytical methods" for determining the fire resistance of building assemblies. Other changes address subdivision of building space in apartment buildings, new hotels, and dormitories; and safe egress requirements in industrial occupancies.
The 2000 NFPA 101: Life Safety Code references nearly 50 other important codes and standards -- including the NFPA 70: National Electrical Code (NEC), NFPA 13, and NFPA 72. Only NFPA 101 links all these critical codes and standards together to cover all the bases for life safety in any occupancy. Renumbered chapters facilitate referencing. Expanded definitions and an informative primer for new users help you guide workers and educate clients. This edition introduces first-time Chapter 5: Performance-Based Option, with critical guidance for engineers and AHJs working with performance-based design.
Interested in other editions of NFPA 101? Use the drop down menu above to select the edition year you need.
NFPA®'s Redline PDF contains both the current NFPA document and a Redline version of the document which shows changes from the previous edition marked in color. With the Redline you can quickly spot changed sections and tell specifically what has been changed from the previous edition, saving time and confusion.

Hi there,
Just tried running the RAZR2 (V8) version on my RAZR2 (V9), and when I try logging in I get the following error:
"A network error has
occured, probably due to
poor reception. Please try
malformed header format"
When I try again, same error occurs. I'm assuming this is something to do with my phone being a V9, not a V8, although I have no idea what the difference between those models is.

Ok, so I'm working on an idea I had for a cool steampunk mars map for a forum strategy game. Trouble is, I'm not sure how to proceed with making the map.
My source is this elevation map of Mars (warning, big image)
I'm a bit puzzled as how to proceed. My experience is with ArcGIS. With that, I would import the image as a raster, then select all values under a certain height to make ocean polygons, along with the appropriate altitudes and elevations to turn into icecaps. I'd then use line tools to draw in the desired canals, points for the cities, and change the color of the land to be more lifelike.
ArcGIS doesn't work for any planet other than Earth AFAIK. I'm not sure how to go about that process with GIMP, if it's even possible.
What I'd like to do is have everything lower than the very lightest green be ocean, with ice caps on the poles and on the high volcanoes. These can then feed into canals, ringing the highlands to catch seasonal melt and direct water to what would be the mother of all rain shadows.

What's the best areas to draw?
Some of the most productive areas in CA you can actually buy the tag every year......no draw needed. Many of the wilderness areas in the B zones will produce trophy class bucks each year for those willing to venture in there.

SKILL LEVEL: Intermediate (Level 3)
SIZE: One Size
About 44 x 54 in. (112 x 137 cm)
This intarsia colorwork afghan is a stunning heirloom that you'll cherish for years to come.
16 sts + 23 1/2 rows = about 4 in. (10 cm) in St st (k on RS, p on WS). When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size
specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be
sufficient. The needle or hook size called for in the pattern is based on what
the designer used, but it is not unusual for gauge to vary from person to person.
If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make your swatch, try using a smaller
size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
Making a Gauge Swatch
16 sts + 23 1/2 rows = about 4 in. (10 cm) in St st (k on RS, p on WS).
kfb (knit into front and then back) An increase worked as follows: 1. Knit the next st through the front loop, but do not remove the st from your left hand needle. 2. Knit the same st once more, this time inserting your needle through the back loop of the st. You will have created 2 loops (sts) on your right hand needle. 3. Drop the st from your left hand needle - you have increased 1 st.
1. Afghan is worked in intarsia colorwork. Use a separate ball of yarn for each color section. When changing colors, pick up new color from under dropped color to prevent holes from forming in your work. Wind each ball of yarn into multiple smaller balls as needed. 2. Color pattern is worked by following a chart. Work Chart from right to left on RS rows, from left to right on WS rows. 3. A circular needle is used to accommodate the large number of sts. Work back and forth as if working on straight needles.
Click here for a large chart in a separate pdf file.
AFGHAN With A, cast on 160 sts. Chart Row 1 (RS): Working back and forth on circular needle, knit, following Chart Row 1 from right to left and repeating 80 sts of Chart twice. Chart Row 2 (WS): Purl, following Chart Row 2 from left to right and repeating 80 sts of Chart twice. Working in St st (k on RS, p on WS) continue chart as established to Row 92. Rep Rows 1-92 twice more, then rep Rows 1-46 once more. Do not bind off, but continue on to work borders. Top Border Row 1: With A, knit. Row 2: With J, k1, kfb in next st, k to end of row.

Salt Water Outings > Outing Chat
Supreme Sabine
George and I went over to Sabine lake to fish on Friday. We found the weather was perfect with good sun and light winds for the better part of the day. The water was stained and sight casting was difficult. Quite different from our last trip back in early December when the water was absolutely crystal clear. From 7:00 am till around 11:00 Am we used conventional tackle like mirror lures and plastic rat tails. George had a huge trout slap at his top water... how that fish missed the thing who knows. I stuck to the plastic pattern and was rewarded with a large flounder. You really have to concentrate when fishing for flounder. They tend to pick up your bait so you feel a light "peck" then they'll come back to it and hit it so you have to wait to strike. On this fish I felt the pick up and just pointed the rod down at the water after about two seconds I felt the line tighten so I set the hook hard. At first i thought I was hung on the bottom or I had hung up on some grass. It just didn't feel like a fish until as I powered down on the line I felt the tail beat. What a good fight this flounder gave. Once we saw how big this fish was the excitment level went way up. George grabbed the boga to make the landing. He grabbed the line and the founder went ape. But after a few seconds the fish was ours. 23" flounder NICE!
Well here she is...
We set up for another drift in a similar area and I caught another fatty using the same technique. You have to be patient after feeling the first "peck". This one got away and looked to be close to the size of the first one we landed. About an hour later I caught another that was close to 17". Sabine is full of flounder. We then grabbed our fly rods and searched out some clean water. As the breeze was freshening a bit we found an open shoreline. I poled George along while trying to find some fish but the water color was difficult to see in. We did come across two reds right up against the shoreline that George got off a shot or two but was unable to turn their interest. Later George was up on the platform and I saw a small shrimp jump from the water real close to the shoreline so I tossed directly to it and was rewarded with a redfish instant strike. The fish taped 19" and was healthy and strong. I caught two more but neither were sight casted to...more like there should be a fish right there and there was!
So I had a small slam working but I needed a trout. George and I were pondering if we were done or just done fishing where we were. I told George I had a special spot where i know i can catch a good trout was he interested in a short drive in the boat. Heck yeah he said so off we went. As i directed George up this small canal I could see the apprehension growing on his face. As we drove by several small marsh drains we spoke of how cool this spot is for a kayaker. Once we arrived at the spot George was thoroughly confused. There was a group of crab fishers working their chicken necks less than twenty feet from our boat. There was a small bridge just in front of us that is way to low to the water for us to get under..so what are we doing here this doesn't look like a trout spot. I threw flys for a short time but no strikes. So I picked up the rat tail plastic and maybe my third cast BOOM a heavy strike and the rod tip started that wonderful dance that says TROUT. Soon we could see the spots of the fish and I was stoked. SABINE SLAM was done. The trout measured 17" and was thick. George got the pictures and hopefully will post them up here.
We had a good time just getting out on the water for the first time in awhile. Both of us talking about how we plan to fish the POC ONE FLY at the end of this month. I was supposed to be fishing several new flies given to me by one of my favorite flytyers testing them for the One Fly. Oops I forgot them back in town! DOUGH!!!!!!!!! But we'll be ready.
Great write up on your adventure Mike. I'm in Denver and my son Cory from Alaska surprised us with a visit here so Andrew, living in Denver, Cory and I fished Deckers on Friday. Andrew and I caught some Bows and had a great time. I'm fishing with Landon Meyers tomorrow.
That sounds great. Does Cory Fly Fish?
Yeah - Mike and I had a great time fishing Sabine... just wishing the water clarity was what it was last December. Thinking that this is more of a cold water fishery for fly fishing; better clarity and sight casting conditions. There are some really nice shorelines in the area that apparently rarely see anglers. Too shallow for most boats, wading difficult with a soft bottom, and very limited road access. Those three things = limited fishing pressure. There are navigable channels running through the areas, which provide deeper water adjacent to flats and small islands. Pretty darn fishy.
Here are a couple more shots of Mike's world class fllounder. Rare to see one that large, and the biggest I've seen. At one point in the fight Mike was convinced it was a snag on the bottom and that the boat was moving. Then... we saw the fish and man did the endorphins kick in. Here's a photo showing 23" of length, you'll just have to trust us (well, maybe me) that the tail was at the zero mark.
Also learned that there is really no water where Mike won't fish if he believes there are fish in it. He's the one, after all, who put White Oak Bayou on the fly fishing map, even next to the wastewater plant. Here's mike casting into his secret hidey hole. What does that sign on the fence say?
Here's a closeup of the sign - sheesh!
Finally, a shot of the trout that Mike dragged out from under the bridge. Easy to sight cast to those fish, they give off an eery iridescent glow.
One final thing - we learned how well the Beavertail withstands a large wake from a passing ship. Several barges had passed us while fishing near a channel without issue. When a large ship goes by we carefully watched its wake. Stayed flat as the ship passed, we're good! Then, as the ship was about a half mile past us the wake begins to pile up on the flat we were fishing, resulting in about 4' of tsunami that is moving stainght towards us - and fast. We're drifting over shallow water with the ingition off and the motor tilted up... ruh roh! A quick jump into the cockpit, fire the engine while lowering the motor, and try to outrun the wave running parallel to its very tall and steep surface. It became clear that we were not going to be able to pass the wave before it hit us broadside, where we swould have certainly fliped, so there was nothing left to do... turn the boat on plane hard left and dirctly into the wave, hit the throttle, and punch right through it. I still have the visual of Mike sitting on the casting platform, holding on tightly, with water coming over the bow up to his waist. The ol' Beavertail roared right through, dropped into trough behind, recovered nicely, then right into and through the next one. And then the third one. Whooo Wheeee....! We were out of the wake, soaked, with the cockpit completely full of water, flip flops and dry bags floating everywhere. Boat still riding high and under power... hit the bilge pump and quickly drained the cockpit. Laughing, sort of, we headed off to the next stop for Mike to try for the slam. Man, I like that little boat!
Ended up a great day, Mike with a slam (er... grand slam if you count the crab that wouldn't let go of his soft plastic), and a few good stories. That area of Sabine is definitely worth a TFF outing; very accessible by kayak as well as boats, and an easy day trip. We should plan another adventure this fall after the Redfish Rodeo...
Looking forward to the POC one-fly!
Dry bags ...what dry bags that was my camera inside that simms bag that died. Mr. simms needs to pay!
