You sound like me..My wife helps me. I'm not good on th ecomputer but I'll give you what I got..
1. When you take pictures..set your camera up to the lowest setting.

2. When you scan pictures you can set it up to the lowest setting.

3. If yo uright click on any picture most computers have a photo program that alows you to resize it.

4. The older computers I use to resize it through the Paint program..

Hope that helps ,

I have a fairly new computor and I still resize alot with windows Paint program..
What I do is go to paint and click on image and then on the drop down click on sketch/skew or resize/skew ( which ever your system says ) and go from there.. Good Luck but as Chuck stated sometimes you will still need to go to photo program and resize anyways..On those programs concentrate reducing the pixels down some.. Good luck.

Ok, Soft plastics are great versatile lures, and I fish about 40% of my time with them, and I have won 5 tournaments on a zoom fluke and a junebug trickworm. The next thing is a jig. This will take time to master, but it will be well worth it. ON a bed or in the winter time, it can not be beat. You will need a stiffer rod and I suggest 20 lb powerpro braid. Finally topwater lures, crankbaits, and rattletraps all produce really nice bass all around the country. THis depends heavily on the area ont he area you fish, how deep it is, and the vegitation. You want a crank bait that runs at their suspended level or above the vegitation. Jerk baits are another thing that is a sure fire winner around the country. The main thing is read articles aobut your local lake, get out there, try their tip and then change them up slightly getting more different from the standerd technique. The more different a thing looks, you may cause a reaction out of the fish that is killer.
I hope this helps some,

you made me laugh, your half right though i'm still just a hacker[:-]

good advice, and will echo the idea of time on the water and paying attention to details

go early stay late

There's a Gander Mountain store about 15 minutes away from me. Every Saturday and often during the week they host some different types of outdoor education seminars. It varies from Bow Hunter Safety Course to Fly tying and everything in between. I have to think they do something similar at Bass Pro Shops and Cabela's stores. Check your closest outdoor door for their schedule of upcoming events. Register early for the bass fishing session to ensure yourself a spot. Get there early and stay late and most of all ask questions.

Good Luck,
Rob

By the way, ever consider joing a bass club?

I'd like to in the future once I get okay at catching bass. Right now I'm just trying to feel my way around so that I don't look like a total rookie (which of course I am )

Ok here goes nothing...for some reason the pics won't show...[:@]but if you follow the links it'll show the lures that I bought the other night...what am I missing? Is this a good start?

Johnny,
Do you drive?? if so ..get a boat..that will help alot..
This one originally cost me without anything..100.00
It's a heavy duty polarcraft

We were on a fixed budget ..I bought it from the newspaper in 1983.I was in Bible college then and we were poor. I used an oar to get me around and caught fish to eat.Now that I'mdoing betterI fixed it up some..The trailor is a kit I got from K Mart ..the tongue ..a steel water pipe..[8D]
